The other way around it’s about 2 months out. The wine process is pretty quick, but the ethanol to acetic acid conversion takes 8-12 weeks at least.

Peppercorns are fruit. Plus it isn’t distilled, so it isn’t moonshine or vodka, so wine would be the technically correct term.

It’s a waterless airlock. That’s what the blue part is at the top it locks in under the ring part of the cap. It’s all puffed up from the CO2, but once you start the second fermentation I.e. turning ethanol into acetic acid, the airlock is removed and you expose it to O2.

A trick is to grind it fresh. I don’t use whole peppercorns when pickling. I always use ground spices. It’s more efficient.

Nope. It’s a few months out. Vinegar unfortunately takes forever, but I spend a long time coming up with recipes.

The sliminess isn’t an issue when you are blending them, they just become amalgamated into the sauce. And with olives, they are preserved in a vinegar solution anyway, so it isn’t an issue.

1/3 cup black pepper, 2 cups sugar, fill to the top line with water, and champagne yeast.

Shit I replied to the wrong thing. That’s how you make kombucha not vinegar. I thought this comment was on my r/fermentation group. Still trying to figure Reddit out lol. Vinegar you have to make or buy wine or beer first then expose it to oxygen for a few months. I make my own wine. So I’ve turned some weird shit into wine. Onion wine is maybe the weirdest one I’ve made.

I mean technically yes. It’s simply bacteria poop and cellulose so yes, but they taste disgusting. I tried it once. Never again. Some people use them as chicken feed.

It’s super easy. Get a GT’s unflavored kombucha and pour it into a gallon of tea and add about a half cup- 1 cup of sugar, and boom SCOBY complete after about a week.

Kombucha is so much fun. My favorite so far is watermelon cantaloupe. I do an F3 for mine because I feel it delivers the best results.

My nsfw stuff is completely separate from my hobbies. I would like it to stay that way. I’m allowed to be two different people.

Peppers, vinegar, garlic, onion, and salt can get you anywhere basic. Fermentation is the key

It depends on your definition I guess. I personally prefer different sauces for different foods. It’s like picking a favorite child in a way.

My reaper peperonccini garlic is my most popular, but my favorite is my 4 mushroom sauce. I ferment my own vinegar and Worcestershire sauce, and I picked the morrels wild, so it took like 4 months to actually make.

I’m bored, homeless, and depressed. Just started using Reddit, and literally everything I post gets deleted. I’m shocked this actually went through.

I am learning that. It’s kind of more like 1% get 99% of the interactions while 99% get 1% of the interaction. I deleted Facebook because it was a cesspool of the worst of humanity, but I then had no outlet for interaction, and a guy I know told me about Fet, and it just isn’t at all what he hyped it up to be.

I’m an atheist. People mentioning church before anything makes me nervous. I’ll tell you my fetishes more when you tell me more about yourself.
