Re: Lacto-Fermentation
Speaking of which, I owe you some kimchi. It's from the giant head of cabbage I got from you, it's been fermenting for a couple weeks and is probably ready soon

Re: Lacto-Fermentation
Funny enough, I also put a batch in yesterday, first time probably all year. I stopped for the most part because I'm not too good at making them into hot sauces, I don't use hot sauce enough to keep...

Re: Lacto-Fermentation

I haven't really been fermenting much, I did some hot peppers that I was going to dry out and grind up but forgot I left them in the oven to...

Re: Lacto-Fermentation
Do you use any sort of weight to keep things submerged or just using the cabbage/onion? I bought some glass weights that work perfectly for fermenting in a mason jar but curious how well using other...

Re: Lacto-Fermentation
Tell me more about using the vacuum bag
I've been out of the hot sauce game for some time but really want to pick it back up when peppers start cropping up this summer

Re: Lacto-Fermentation
I do this with the pulp from straining ground up peppers from past hot sauce runs, makes for a fantastic chili powder but the yields were always very low. I usually lay them out on parchment paper...

Sad to hear Bob. I haven't run any batches of anything lately, decided to pickle my last pepper pickup of the year this year rather than ferment (and haven't made it through my first of five jars...

Re: Lacto-Fermentation
Highly recommend, I dehydrate in the oven at the lowest oven setting (I think mine is 170*) for many hours, probably 3-4 depending on how wet it was to start. I would use my dehydrator but I'm...

Re: Lacto-Fermentation
Thanks for the tips, I've dried full fermented peppers to use in spices but when I strain I always end up throwing away the leftover gunk, I'll definitely save and dry this time.
As for the...

How long since you started the ferment? do you notice any ill effects of adding to a batch that's already going? Do you just add more brine equivalent to the amount of salt for the additional...
