    There is a lid in this photo, but I’ve opted to keep the container open for the first few days to encourage wild yeasts to settle in. Once the fermentation starts picking up I’ll transfer to another container. I’m following Sandor Katz’s fast and loose recipe from The Art of Fermentation…I expect to learn valuable lessons or reap unexpected rewards. Or maybe both.







  • Ha. Yeah, I can dig that. I looked like I stepped out of a nuclear decontamination site the first time I mixed up lye, now I just put on sunglasses and lean back. Probably should find some middle ground there. 🤔

    The only metal I use is an immersion blender and the cooling rack in the picture, and the cooling rack is just for the cure. Thanks for the heads up, though…I’ll keep an eye out for any weirdness.
