To hold that garlic down or any other veg. Use a sandwich bag with a zip seal. Stuff it into the jar fill with your brine left over. The weight of the water will hold down the Veg.
If you seperate the cloves from the garlic heads you can place the cloves in a jar with a lid quarter to half way full...close jar with lid then shake vigorously and dump conents into a bowl and most of the garlic cloves should be seperated from their skins.
Excellent use of celery as a weight. I hadn't thought of that. I recently dug through an old 50/50 mix I had laying around not being eaten and grabbed all the spinach leaves out of it to use as a barrier. I used Brussels as the cabbage base for my saurkraut, with Granny Smiths, carrot, red onion, radish, ginger and garlic to make the kraut. I packed the spinach on top of the kraut and used a shot glass to submerge my beautiful slaw-turned-kraut. The hardest part about fermenting is the waiting to see how it turned out!
The blue green is actually a result of the sulfur reacting with the copper content of the water used creating the blue green affect. If you use filtered water, as you should in all fermentation, this is not likely to occur or is less likely to occur. Although as you said, it is still perfectly edible.
In addition , the compounds in garlic react to minerals in tap water which in turn can cause your garlic to have a blue / green color . Perfectly harmless . Always do your research first before consuming foods that your are not familiar with . I hope this was helpful .

Hello thank you so much for showing the bluegreen garlic. I had that happen to me when I was fermenting garlic and didn't know if they had gone bad or if that was just a normal process, so I dumped the whole pint jar of garlic away because I didnt want to eat something bad.

honey and garlic preserved - don't use metal to remove garlic skins, use tooth pick to pierce the garlic cloves, the older it gets, the darker the honey, useful for sore throats, stir fry using both garlic and honey liquid. Keep in a dark place for about 3-4 weeks, longer if you want honey to become more garlicky tasting - does not need refrigeration unless you're in a very hot climate. Place required garlic cloves in preserving jar, add honey (I like using leatherwood honey because it's not as sweet, has a distinctive taste that people either love or hate), seal and place in a dark cupboard for at least 3-4 weeks, agitating it once a day to get flavours mixed in.
I came across a licensed doctor/practitioner on CZcams and he and his wife do many public presentations about health, probiotics, and fermented foods that he brought for the crowd to try. He explained and made sauerkraut from start to finish and how it should be stored. He mentioned the fridge temperature at 37 F is enough to kill them.
I've been fermenting garlic as well. I had one batch go bad because I didn't keep the jar sealed, but it's mostly been successful. It does take a long time before it's edible though, I would say at least 6 weeks. It has a very unusual taste, but it is amazingly good for you.
@C Garvin Just be aware that you'll end up with micro-plastic in your end result. If you're okay with eating plastic, rock on. But most people already eat too much plastic and don't want to voluntarily add plastic to their diet.
Hello Robert💯🤑💯🤑😇🤑. Sorry for intruding your privacy profile how are you feeling today if I may ask you dear it's really nice to see you on here am new to here are you in this fan 😁
@Wingnutairhead I use a rock, too. I bring the jar or a penciled outline of the jar's opening and find a rock that is about the same size. Then I explain to the rock why I am taking it away, and how long we will be gone. When the fermentation is done, I bring the rock back, and I tell the other rocks to believe their friend if their friend decides to share where s/he has been for the past few weeks.
Haha I got the same type of bag of garlic from Costco too, unfortunately after spending over and hour peeling the garlic, half of what I peeled was no good to use to ferment! So I made a pint of garlic with one tsp of salt. I plan on buying the already peeled bag of garlic next time! Oh and I burp my jar so it doesn’t explode !
Maybe using grams for water was meant so imperial people would find it easier to understand. But here is a quick explanation. Water is the center of the world when it comes to grams and litters. A litter of water is exactly one thousand grams or, better yet, a kilogram (kg). So, when some recipe tells you to use X amount of water, remember that weight (grams) and volume (litters) is interchangeable 🙂
If you buy good garlic not the chinese from a farmer is the best. I buy about 5 pounds dried heads and ready to eat. keep them in a onion type bag so it gets good air flow in a dark cool place. I buy mine in September and it is still good at the end of june next year.
I have jars and jars and more jars. I saw a video a few years back when I thought about starting fermentation. It said to fill a bag with with saline and weigh down the veggies with the bag of brine. Then if you need more before the process is finished just take it out of the bag. I can't afford fancy jars or lids or any of that stuff that my grandma never used.
There's no need to weigh the water. A litre is a kilo of water. It's like that by design to make things simpler. I noticed that your measuring jug has litres on one side and American measures on the other. Then only the salt needs weighing. :)
You do not have to peel it before it's fermented. I have 2 jars which both have the peels on. Some of them are loose cloves, some of them are full heads.
I tried this. I fermented it for a few weeks. Then I put it in my frig. today, which is about a month later, I look at it and the garlic turned blue. Very odd.
So you put a plastic zip lock bag in with food that is possible to break down plastic so you would injest plastic nano particles with what ever you picked? Oh sounds like a great chemical soup. Better to go that mountain of effort to use something edible . 🤡
Did one and it was super warm that summer, it started to turn this bluish green/grey soon after i put itin the fridge....I kinda freaked out thinking it was Bad, turns out it was okay though lol (just means it's way way fridge time)
Very Great Demonstration Young Lady, especially of how to keep it submerged. But what about that one clove that got exposed to the air? wouldn't it be contaminated by the bad bacteria? You said you would either push it back down or use it.? I would think you would need to throw it out.? ??
If its fermenting right and she purges the jar correctly then the CO2 (those air bubbles you see) released during the fermentation will replace the air at the top and no bad bacteria can grow.
@willythewave This isn't pickling - this is fermenting. Entirely different processes and results. Just an FYI. I don't want a war or anything - just letting you know.
It is less of a concern but it doesn't hurt. I have found after fermentation the garlic sinks, so it naturally stays under. If the brine evaporated or spilled I would top off with salt water.
ma'm, do I need to wash my garlic cloves after taking these? Is there any problem in the fermentation process if washed? And do the jars need to be sterilized? thank you.
Using that particular jar is a cause for concern...it is airtight and could potentially explode. Perhaps consider a proper fermenting jar with an airlock...
@@damarmar1001 no. Not at all. You are not supposed to induce air with possible bacteria into your fermentation. Air locks are the way forward. Have a look at a channel called Chilli Chump.
@@rossjohn8551 I did it with my sauerkraut and it was so good i have a waterbag to keep the cabbage under the water. I didn't really open it. Just enough to let the gas escape. But you're right , it's better to fill a little less and keep it closed. the last time I made sauerkraut it was dry to the upper side but it tasted fantastic.
@@damarmar1001 I followed his advice on the last 3 sauces I made and they are wonderful. That dude really knows what hes doing.

The most successful n quick way to preserve garlic n ginger is peel them n grind in the mixie Store them in a jippouch n keep them in freezer Take out small quantity in another plastic container n keep in the fridge for daily use This way you can make enough supply for a year
Rather than making a celery raft to keep the garlic submerged? Fill a baggie with more 5% brine solution and put it in the jar. The baggie will expand to the edges of the jar and the weight of the water will keep the garlic submerged. And if there happens to be a slow leak in the baggie? No harm no foul. You've just added a little more 5% brine. I use this for all my fermentation.
Hi could anyone suggest me ,I use this technique to fermented the garlic but there was some black fungi layer come up on the top of my jar Should I remove that and use my fermented garlic or that is not good to eat
Hello Carl🙋🌞🙋😇💯💯🤑. Sorry for intruding your privacy profile how are you feeling today if I may ask you dear it's really nice to see you on here am new to here are you in this fan 😁
My preference would be to make Garlic Wine. You will need some sugar, white grape juice, acid blend, yeast nutrient, and a good White Wine Yeast like Montpellier or Montrachet. Find a good recipe as can be found on the Jack Keller website for Home Brewers and follow directions. *****IMPORTANT******** The fumes consisting of gaseous Sulfur and Selenium compounds we’ll be malodorous, so you will want to keep it in a distant area of the house. Use like Garlic Juice. It is a great marinade ingredient. As per the taste, perhaps a dash in your Bloody Mary,: but otherwise, you would only taste it like a Chef would in order to determine optimal use.
My cabbage leave is sticking out a little, is that a problem? The cabbage leave is holding down the garlic and the bubbles are starting to come up after one day.
Usually I use olive oil (any oil actually) at the top of the jar to avoid the garlic be in contact with the air. It works quite well also.
That is a great suggestion. Had not thought of this-but makes perfect sense. Thanks.
@@elkeschmitt623 I believe that storing the garlic in vinegar is safer (if you are not fermenting). Garlic stored in oil risks contamination with Botulism. Learned this in Microbiology class. 😮

Garlic fermented in raw honey is awesome. Bananas are fermenting within twelve hours, two days and they are over done. Raspberries are next!!!
To keep everything under the water you can use a plastic bag with water covering it
That's what I do and it works out great

Thank you. Really great idea to ferment garlic - a double dose of prebiotic and probiotics!
Good video. I would like to have the measurements in cups/tbsp along with the grams for those of us who don't have a scale.
Many types of salt can have different weights when measured out by volume. It's best to go by weight or your percentages could be off.
I’ve found a good brine mixture for anything is 2 quarts of water, to 3 tablespoons of salt
@@johnny_flixx4598 Thank you!
I do a 2% salt brine: 1 liter of water, 20 grams of salt. Works fine up to now for the carrots I did

“Celery raft”... Love that!! 😊
you can use a baggie filled with enough water to weigh it down also :)

It was more than helpful, I made this and loved it. I'm making another and adding cucumbers this time. Thanks!
My fermented garlic gets really nice green and blue colored !!
go down to the creek or river and get a rock to use to weigh it down, just boil it clean and you are set...
Altough... you can't eat a rock..
