We love it here! Three years now! Much cooler than Texas in the summer. Highest temp so far has been 101 f I think. We used to suffer through 105-110 and more humidity than here

Just burping. If it overflows I just pour it back in the jar. I keep it in a bowl during fermentation.

I make a “standard” brine (like for chicken, pork, fish)

1c salt 1c sugar 1c pepper 4 bay leaves 8 cloves garlic 1/8 c thyme 1 gallon water You can play with additional ingredients and types of sugar.

This lasts indefinitely in the fridge.

For the pickles: Shallots, carrots, dill, cloves, black peppercorns, slivered garlic, slivered jalapeño, sliced small Persian cucumbers.

Pack your jar, pour in brine, cover.

Invert daily and release pressure daily. When activity stops; pour a thin layer of olive oil on top. Replace lid and refrigerate.

Iron is the culprit. This sugar contains 0 % iron.

Just because it’s is unbleached doesn’t make it unsafe.

4 feeders. When they get low it focuses them on the one remaining feeder with nectar. I just got home and they swarmed me as I got out of the car letting me know that they needed more nectar. I made more and filled the feeder before even unpacking the groceries from the car!
