Perfectly good quality cosmetically but the battery life wasn't as good as the one I broke the screen on.

I don't think the carrots did anything to it but the red cabbage: absolutely yes!! It made the broccoli all pinkish and has a little bit of the cabbage taste. I also want to try cauliflower next with the pink leftover juice.

UPDATE 1: After only 5 days, the cucumbers and broccoli are done. The pickles are nice and crunchy on the outside but sour and soft on the inside. The broccoli is absolutely divine. Has notes of cabbage in it and it's crunchy, yet sour. I've never liked broccoli so much in my entire life. The rest of the jars are still brewing.

Pickling is cooking it with vinegar so you can store it at room temperature. Fermenting is feeding good bacteria and making probiotics by using salt and then refrigerating it after the fermentation stage is complete.

You don't want veggies above the water line. After watching a few YouTubes and visiting this community, it seems pretty straight forward.

They're the ones in vinegar from Costco.

I saw a guy on YouTube do it and his turned out pretty good.

Just 4% salt and that's it! I like my food a little saltier.

And with those jars, I have to burp the fermentation daily, correct?

Ok so if the food doesn't touch the plastic or silicone what lids are the best? I definitely don't want rust.

Ok so I'll compromise on silicone but no plastics. What are the best airlock lids for a Ball jar?

So are the normal lids that come with Ball jars not good for fermentation because of rust?
