Hello ~ so it says starter if desired… Why? What does that mean? So far I’ve only done ferments that didn’t need starters ~ is there a reason to use a starter sometimes or is it always just a jumpstart kind of a thing? And for the starter, can’t it be the juice from another ferment technically?

Any info on this subject would be much appreciated. I’ve scoured high and low and not found anything to help me.

Thank you! and thanks for the blog and all of your info! It helps (GAPS diet) and it inspires… which helps even more!

Hi, I made this a few days ago. It was working great, but I just opened it this morning and there were black fuzzy bits on the surface. Is it still Ok to eat? it smells like a fermented food (kind of like a pickle), and feels fine, not mushy. What do you think?

I just started this yesterday using apple cider vinegar and cut back on salt a bit. My brine is covering the shredded apples and the beets, but I really have no idea what I am looking for when it comes to safety and taste. Not so much concerned with taste as I am with safety. If you did use the ACV for this, can you let me know how is came out??

My wife and I are hours old in this, your recipe for beets/dill/caraway sounds good. What is your recipe and process?

I am curious. Would apple cider vinegar be a good kick off to cut back on the salt some and in place of the ferment starter? It crossed my mind since there are apples in the mix, and I always keep a big stash of ACV on hand for when I need vinegar for cooking. It tastes so much better then white vinegar.

Well, I just NOW got to making this (been really busy the past several weeks), and OMG! It’s the MOST devine food! I can’t stay out of it, lol. It’s a good thing there was a couple spoonfuls that wouldn’t fit into my jars, so I can munch on it as it is, lol. Even my son, who says, “I don’t like beets”, says “I LOVE this!” May have found THE way to get my family to not only get more probiotics, but actually enjoy eating their beets! Mom’s going to love this! It’ll make some very nice Chanukah gifts this winter! It’s so pretty! Can you tell I am excited? lol
