Sorry for the late response. I was away for a couple of days, and then when I came home, I brought Covid along with me and have been down with that a little.
I’ve never done onions alone- but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Definitely keep us posted!
I’m about day 4 now, so starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, thanks! My goal now is to just keep my germs to my self so my husband stays well. I’ll test again once I’m symptom free, and hopefully that will be in just another day or two.
My daughter is an RN at a busy hospital, and she told me that this strain seems to really run it’s course in 5 days or so in healthy people. I haven’t seen my grandsons since July 20th, and have to be covid negative to see them so I’m hopeful that she’s right!
Finished up the hot sauce with hatch chili's. The level of spice is perfect. It came out a little too sweet and briny, I'll omit the carrots and up the garlic next time. Now I'm doing some dill veggies; carrots, celery, and some cucumbers from the garden
Looking great Sunfire.
I think my current batch of Kraut is infected it's got a white lacto film on top and smells wrong
My onions I think are the same
...Will post a pic later
Well how do you keep them veggies under the liquid line Sunfire96?
Or does using the airlock mitigate that problem somehow?
There's a disc shaped glass weight in there on top of the veggies. Came with the jar in a fermentation kitLooking great Sunfire.

Ok I gotta get one of them thanks.
Or a nice clean rock. I use both!
I’m making kimchee pickles this week. I’ll try to remember to post a photo.
That's what I've been doing but I find the contents manages to break free around the edges of the bag.I normally use a plastic bag, filled with roughly the same brine solution as I'm aiming for in the pickle.
Even if it breaks, the salt percentage will stay the same

Bigger bag, more liquid
Woohoo.I've started a small batch of sauerkraut.
Inspired by Ben
I love the stuff adds a great sour note to salads and such but be careful of enclosed spaces afterwards it can get the back end firing fine!

Serious?
I grew up on this stuff as we all liked it and it was dirt cheap.
Genwrally eaten mashed in with potatoes and eaten with smoked sausage (rookworst) and kassler or something likewise
(And cook your potatoes seperate as they will never get soft if you cook the lit together. Standard rookie mistake)

Yeah sorry bout that i knew it wasnt your first rodeo.
Thanks for the tip I tried to get my Dutch mother in law to try some the other day but she graciously declined.
Rekons she might have a crack on Sunday when she returns.
A local sourdough baker does another kraut she ferments the cabbage whole and puts salt inside the leaves.
She's originally from Serbia and said its how her mum went about the preparation.
She's the one that told to the have a shot of The liquid but to be careful
!
Na whole in a homebrewers fermenter.Fermenting a whole cabbage sound kind of cool
Do you know if she put in a bag or in a bowl or so?
I got a feeling I just gotta try this!
Gotta peal back the leaves and tuck the salt in behind she was saying.
