Almost Self-Reliant
Okay. This looks really really simple, and I'm really excited about pickles (yes, I'm easily amused) but what do you ferment/pickle IN?
I saw some fermentation crocks online and there is just NO WAY I'm going to pay that much for a stoneware crock.
What do you use? I would like to use what I have on hand to make saurkraut and pickle veggies. I just can't spend any more money - DH and I are really trying to keep what we have in savings, IN savings.
Where do you store them? I have recently gotten my DH to bring the temp in the house down to 70 (okay, honestly I slipped to the thermostat and turned it down b/c I was sweating! set at 75!!!). Is it okay to keep them fermenting in the house (out of the sun - have perfect spot) at this temp for long periods?
In the summer, the house will be back up around 75 or so ... will this be to warm? I really don't want to start fermenting stuff and then have to cram everything into the fridge - I won't have room for that.
BBH what did you pickle? How did you like it? Tell me your pickle story.
FREE!!!! What do you recommend I do and/or avoid?
Does anyone have a favorite recipe they could share?
