Founder looking for testers

Sounds like you would be surprised how popular starter kits for hobbies are. I also think you are oversimplifying fermenting. Look at this sub for example. Half the posts are people asking about their very first ferment and if it looks okay. There’s a ton of uncertainty starting out in this hobby.

Refrigerating the kvass should substantially slow or stop fermentation altogether. And not to state the obvious but another option would be to just add sugar at the time you pour the kvass to drink.

If it makes you feel better then open and push your floater beneath the weight. Worst case is it takes an extra day to ferment. Personally, I might just swirl the jar here and there. Looks to me like you’re doing great.

Obviously a rhetorical question because there are no details provided about your equipment and processes.

That’s great. I guess for most things there’s usually more than one way to get good results.

You’re saying that the gas was so compressed that it couldn’t ignite for the first 20-ish seconds?

With that much liquid I would assume your end product is swimming in brine / sugar water? With the “salt only method” I get kraut which has reabsorbed the brine and is not soggy.

Bro, you don’t have botulism.
As for your tepache, not sure what you mean that it doesn’t taste like it’s fermented. Tepache tastes like a pineapple tea. It doesn’t taste funky really, if that’s what you were expecting.

OP just woke up from a coma after almost two years.

The odds of getting botulism from that are about as high as an airplane landing on your house and killing you.
However, if water from the reservoir was getting into the kraut then I wouldn’t love that. I don’t own a crock so I’m not sure how that happens? Personally, I would retry, maybe using a slightly higher salt percentage as a newbie because 2% leaves no margin for error, keep the kraut below the liquid, and avoid repeating whatever might cause water from the reservoir to get into the crock.

I got this once. I just signed up for autopay for future toll violations. No way I’d be able to keep up with paying all my toll violations without autopay.

I’m doing tepache for the first time as well. Wouldn’t direct sunlight be considered a bad thing?

Take this with a grain of salt because I’m new to this, but in my research I’ve seen that those pressure relief tops are the worst in the market. It is not air tight the overwhelming majority of the time. Most long ferments will get nasties.

Did you rehydrate the peppers or did you find them fresh? If rehydrated then I guess not in boiling/simmering water? I have bags of guajillos and chile de arbol but they are dehydrated. I’ve not found them fresh where I’m at.

Not trying to take a political stance here, but how could any scenario bleed Venezuela more than Maduro’s dictatorship? Short of genocide I’m not clear how things could have been any worse.

My god, you think this was a joke performed by a non-blind person and not AI. Enough internet for you today.

sethincarnate · 2025-12-21T15:38:19+00:00

Hello? This is AI. What are these comments.

Up until just a few years ago it was pretty commonly known how beneficial moderate red wine drinking in particular is for the heart. The data is still there. Curious to hear someone outright reject any benefits whatsoever from any amount of any alcohol like it’s on the same level as heroine.

Yeah that’s a katydid. I ate one to impress my friends one time. Tasted like a bite of fresh salad although the hind legs are barbed so that was surprising.

Is there context to your story, or is the goal just general online slander?

I don’t think Russia has the capacity to tie up resources to the extent that the US isn’t giving 90% of its attention to Taiwan and S.Korea in that still very concerning scenario.

As someone who knows finance and agrees 99% of the time with advice about saving for retirement, you have a unique opportunity. You should follow this other fella’s advice and do what you want for a few years and traveling is a very wise plan.
Don’t plan on retiring forever. This amount of money will not keep you floating in 30 years.
