Fermentation Containers

[phinix]

opened up the full 21 day kraut.  wow,  eye squintingly sour @ max...

This batch was built without any added water via extensive mashing.

very concentrated flavor

Now add some grinded carrots, black pepper, sugar and you have yourself a nice polish sauerkraut salad

[tp4tissue]

the sugar goes in "after " completion ?

Well yeah, its too sour, you fine grade carrot, apple, mix it with kraut, add pepper and sugar for taste.

You can also make polish sauerkraut soup!

Totally not scientific,  but Tp4 did a simple test off the cuff for digestive differences.

Prior to intensive kraut cultivation, Tp4 could eat up to 7 bananas (1 bunch) at one time with no problems, have eaten 14, doesn't feel so good, stomach ache + bathroom.

POST kraut,  Tp4 tested in the past 3 days 14 bananas per day all at once, that's 42 bananas total + watermelon in the afternoon, no digestive ill whatsoever, felt fine, completely normal.

So.... at the very least,  the fermentation bacteria has greatly improved Tp4's Sugar/Starch capacity.

That's pretty cool experiment, but maybe tp shouldn't eat 14 bananas a day  ;)

Tp4 needed to test "known" conditions. Tp4 prior specs had a clear "fructose" limit.

Tp4 eats bananas

Bacteria eats Suger/Starchs/Indigestible Fiber

if the bacteria is properly seeding in the digestive tract,  there should be a tangible difference along that capacity.

will repeat xperiment next week as well,  <these bananas are xpensive>

Sounds good:)
I prrefer this kind of salad with potatoes and fried fish fillets  :-*

fish iz extremely neurotoxic, 50%+ of plastic in ocean is fishing nets, 99% depletion of sharks, 50-75% bycatch (kill 4 fish to eat 1), bottom trawl fishing destroying coral / marine ecosystem. 

Fried Potato Fillet, m0ar p0tat0 much heath. healthy phinix, healthy planet.

marine ecosystem

What would the consensus be on this :

napa cabbage is like fermentation on speed run. it's release so much co2 so fast, have to vent the container 3x a day.

must be due to the thinner cell walls, so its sugars are more accessible.

[fohat.digs]

have to vent the container 3x a day.

You don't have a setup where it can just bubble on its own for a week?

Napa cabbage is a pain, I often leave it out because it is so fussy to work with.
Bok choy is much easier to use, in my opinion, and probably more nutritious.

[tp4tissue]

Tp4 ep1( p00r..

napa is very traditional though. gotta try it here and there.   it's got kind of a texture that's slurpy and crunchy at the same time.

Cucumber salad:

Cucumber, Chives, Cilantro, Chili Oil, Green Onion, Fermented Turnip/Carrots (turned out crazy sour), +3 Tablespoon Sugar


Really enjoying the Sugar with Kraut,  homemade ferments seem to be way way more sour than store bought,  The sugar helps balance the flavor.

[tp4tissue]

Banana test 2 completed_

previous results Confirmed, 

Tp4 banana capa(ity __(fructose tolerance)__ has increased significantly.

[tp4tissue]

been eatn lots of the garden's cucumbers lately,  normally Tp4 could eat 1 or 2 per day max,  Tp4 has eaten 4 per day for 2 weeks now,  no distress whatsoever.

Digest power +++

At Wal-Mart today I saw something that looked interesting and would solve the weight/expansion/bubble issue, as long as you were doing it in tall straight-sided jars.

[tp4tissue]

tp4 is using an empty glass jar filled with water as ballast in the large crock to keep the veggie down.

the spring definitely looks good for those exact jars. would work well for small batch stuff.
