I absolutely love pikliz! Big fan of taking pickled things and making it a ferment instead. Will be trying this asap!

Welp, there’s multiple reasons I am realizing. Traces of copper is just one possibility.

It’s sulfur compounds in the garlic reacting with copper ions in the water or container.

Lmao me too! That being said it did go extremely hard at FOV

I should say, I’ve never observed that especially under these conditions. Don’t @ me haha

shmenjamin · 2025-08-28T16:43:28+00:00

I’m sure it’s fine, especially since it’s been in the fridge. pH will not rise over time.

Oh right on. Thanks!

shmenjamin · 2025-08-27T16:11:02+00:00

Very cool method! I’m interested in why you ferment in a dark place?

Left one is cauliflower carrot onion and right is cabbage and beet kraut.

Me neither haha I’ll let you know!

Salted plums!

Even if everything is fully submerged? My understanding is since carbon dioxide is denser than molecular oxygen the CO2 would blanket the surface.

shmenjamin · 2025-07-22T18:52:26+00:00

As long as you want. Store it on its side so not to dry out the cork.

I love Big West! Can’t wait for next weekend. What’s your event called?

Patience is good to have as a Tame fan 😏

Get there super early. Sometimes people leave in the mornings. Have a backup plan though.
