    My fermentation story: We have friends who are into healthy eating and fermenting. The wife recommended buy one of those large fermenting crocks the Amish use for making sauerkraut. We bought one and 7 heads of cabbage later it was barely 1/2 full! Also, the directions are more complicated; use distilled water but heat it and cool it to kill bacteria, complicated salt to water ratios, etc. Because the crock is so big if something went wrong, a large amount of food is wasted. I love the smaller batch fermenting. It is just my husband and I. I'm not fermenting for a large Amish family! Using a large crock is too much work and too heavy to move once it is filled.
    Thank you for your fermentation videos, Stacy. They have been a 'preserve the harvest' game changer.

      We have one of those too. Husbands grandmother's that she made sauerkraut in. Not sure if she fed the whole valley or what, but that thing is huge! We bought a round wooden piece at hardware store (we didn't have her top), we're going to stain it and use it as a side "table" having storage too. Plus it can be kept outside as well as inside. You can buy a small crock but I love using the jars instead.

    Fermenting is so much easier than canning- and is so much more nutritious! Plus, it’s safer. If a fermented jar is off, you know it. 😊 I keep my ferments in the cabinet, and only refrigerate a jar we’re actively using. They’ve all kept however long it takes for us to eat through them, a year being the longest I’ve had some before eating it; probably would have been just fine for longer. My favorite ferment is jalapeños!!! 😋

    Hi Stacy,
    My wife made Kimchee for the first time a few weeks ago and she says it is really good! That was the first time either of us has ever tried to ferment anything. My issue is that I have to carefully watch my sodium intake. If I get too much salt in my diet my heart starts misbehaving. After watching this video I think I will try fermenting some carrots just to see how they turn out. I can work up to it and see if a carrot a day tries to kill me! :)
    Take care, be well and all the best from California 🧡

    I made cauliflower, carrot, and onion. It's so crunchy and yummy on the mixed baby greens I grow in the dining room. Actually, I love all my ferments in place of salad dressings and cut up veggies.

    I am 74 years old and have been making sour kraut all my married life. Never realized you could ferment other vegetables. Not sure why. I am going to try lots this summer. I use whey from my goat cheese making as the liquid in my sour kraut instead of water. It is delicious.

    Very happy to find You! Going to gather all those supplies for my first time attempting fermenting. This is so very exciting. I just started homesteading in January 2022. 9 Raised beds, lots of container gardening, and so far 2 Greenstalks. Loving cutting fresh arugula, kale, sweet basil and a variety of lettuces and making the best salads ever. So glad I found you because you have become wonderfully instrumental in this latest journey in my Life and am loving Life newly retired but in the garden full time. Lol. Thank You! God Bless You Both and so enjoy your Homestead and Your Family and Farm Animals.

    Loving your videos! Planning on trying to ferment over the holidays. You mentioned the log cabin give away, but i couldn't find the info in the description.
    By the way, another idea for making money on the homestead is to build and rent out a cottage on the homestead. It could be and off-grid experience! Many people want to live this way and would love the chance to try it out. They could help around the homestead as needed (or not). i would certainly sign up!

    Some berries like rowan or mountain-ashes contain parascorbic acid which converts to ascorbic acid, vitamin C when cooked I expect others do much the same when fermented. It should be noted that Rowena berries are posinous if not cooked.

    • @paulatarver-prof
      @paulatarver-prof Před 3 lety +2

      Our bodies need salt. Sea salt doesn’t usually impact our bodies the same as the store salts. Try making 1 jar of your favorite vegetable. Start off eating 1 teaspoon of the ferment once a day. Measure and record your vitals and other health symptoms several times per day. Every week increase either the amount or the frequency of how much you are taking until you are taking 1 to 2 Tablespoons with every meal. You might also want to look into making and using Rejuvelac to ferment with. Good luck on your health journey.

      Fermenting fruits and veg as vinegar uses no salt at all! Its a good bit softer that salt preserved veg, but my kids live eating the fermented berries! I tried the garlic preserved in vinegar from this channel and its one of my favorites! Also onions and beets are commonly done as vinegar ferments. My favorite is herb vinegar for salad dressing and berry vinegar drinks like kombucha but with berries and not tea. Yoghurt and sourcream have no added salt either. I think if you look into it theres even more!

But some things keep well with no preservation processing necessary, like potatoes and onions. I'm not questioning that they get by for the vast majority on what they've grown themselves. I'm just asking for more details on the other things and methods that enable them to do that because that would be helpful and good to know.

      ​@@doublekhobbyfarm Hey! This is my first attempt so I only fermented 5 quarts of Roma tomatoes with garlic and covered them with 2 tbsp pink salt per quart mixed with distilled water to cover the contents. I set them on the counter for a few days while watching/burping them. Then I read in Sandor's book 'The Art of Fermentation' pg 124 of an account from Ira's mother. She would set her ferments in direct sunlight which he reports 'helps eliminate the formation of scum (or mold) because ultraviolet light is a good disinfectant.'
      So I put them in a west kitchen window and will be alternating them 'in and out' of the sun for 3 weeks. So far I do not have any scum in my jars~YAY!
