Congratulations! I call myself an equal opportunity food preserver! Canning, dehydrating, freezing AND fermentation!
YES!!! High-five! ✋
Seeing this comment now that you're over 50,000 makes me so happy about your amazing growth!!
Vann Evans, same here !
Wow 220K subscribers now! Congrats!
You are so adorable girl! You remind me of my own daughter,I’m 73 yrs old and love to cook garden etc...and so enjoy your channel!
I made a jar last year and loved them. Then I put in the fridge and forgot about them. Pulled them out and started eating again and got very excited about how delicious they are. So now I am fermenting again and will continue to do so. Thanks for sharing. It stopped me from being scared of fermenting. It is really good for you.
I just started doing my first batch of sauerkraut for my husband who loves it, where I was not fond of it. But my first bite of homemade kraut made me think twice - it is far more delicious than store-bought! I bought several books on dehydrating, fermenting, and creating Kambucha - on my fifth dehydrator session now. Next is possibly purchasing a Kambocha machine that keeps the brew at the right temp and then adding my own fruit flavors.
Wow, this seems really simple, and I have thought the same when watching Stacy from off grid with Doug and Stacy.
You simploy MUST try Stacey's fermented lemonade! It is absolutely fabulous in smoothies! I cannot get enough of it! I also like the fermented garlic, simply because it keeps my garlic from going bad before I use it. You can just keep adding to the solution, (or I do anyway) and the garlic is fantastic! Homesteading family also has some good fermentation videos. Cheers!
Excited to see your fermenting and enjoying it! Absolutely love, Doug and Stacy!
Oh My Gosh. As I'm watching this video (finally) you now have (Jan 15, 2019) 91 THOUSAND subscribers! Isn't that amazing?? One year ago you were so excited about nearing 5 thousand. I'm SO happy for you all!
Paula Jo Davis today is Jan 8, 2019 and they’re at 117,000
I know! Isn't it exciting how God works? He finds a way to help His family get the information they need to take care of themselves and their families! God is AMAZING!!
On the lids the CO2 is heavy and as its made during the fermenting process it pushes out the Oxygen at the top and keeps the ferment going without oxygen which is what you want. The glass weights hold the product below the surface so they are not exposed to the air during the initial ferment to get fungus or decompose. The masher is a great tool for sauerkraut. I take a teaspoon full of the previous batch and put it in the new batch to give it a good starts and speed the process. Nice job. Thanks for this.
I started fermenting in 2015 and felt the same way about scared to poison myself or family, so I know how you felt. I'm so glad you took the plunge and I hope you are still super excited about fermenting now in 2020. I found your channel this year and subscribed awhile back. I'm sort of jumping around to your older videos catching up on older ones. I really enjoyed this one and was amazed that you had 5000 subscribers in 2017 because now in 2020 you have 358,000! What an amazing explosion of subscribers in only 3 years. I think some channels that been there 10 years still haven't reached even half of that subscribership. Happy Canning and Fermenting!
I did the same thing! I bought the two gallon ceramic jar with a lid, a book on fermentation, and watched a few videos on TH-cam...and did nothing. It has been over a year now and everything still sits in the closet.
Because of your video, I will get some cabbage, carrots, garlic and fresh jalapenos and give fermentation a try. Anything I can do to boost my immune system in the time of pandemic, is worth giving a try.
As I watch this 10-21-2020, two years later, your subscribers have gone from 5,000 to 436,000! Congratulations!
I'm getting my research on fermentation at this point. Thanks so much!!
I have the same exact thoughts on fermenting ! I'm so interested and want to try it so bad but also scared I will poison myself 😅
This video gave me a lot of hope , I may just try it now ! Thank you so much for the encouragement ☺️!!
Miss this energetic real teaching Sarah
I've been making sauerkraut and finally decided to make peppers...yummy. I purchased a pounder and Mason tops with pickle pipes kit. Today I've been binge watching videos of fermenting. Mary's Nest. Doug and Stacy, now you all🙂
Sauerkraut, peppers, and carrots are in the making.
Love fermenting, if you haven't tried it just jump in. Also started making Kefir too.
You are so young and talented. I am learning so much from you!
Wonderful for you that you have increased your viewer subscriptions by 100,000 in 1 year. You guys are just so much fun, and so educational to watch. May God continue to bless your work.
Love your enthusiasm Sarah...
Finally ordered this for myself with a Christmas gift card. I’ve tried canning from your videos and now fermentation. I did see it first on Doug and Stacy's channel but you sold me.
thank god you came around enjoy the new world youve found
A lot of people sour or ferment their animals feed. Real easy and stretches out the food. Pigs and chickens love it.
So glad you're getting into fermenting! Thanks for spreading the good word about Masontops and lacto-fermentation. Good luck with your next batch!
Sauerkraut, pickles and kimchi are ages old examples of fermented foods that are natural source of probiotics.
My mom always made us eat Sauerkraut because she said it's so good for You. 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
I have always wanted to make my own sauerkraut. This made me so happy when I saw how easy it was to make. Thanks for sharing this Sarah.
Thank you for sharing ! I need to start doing this myself . I really enjoy your channel , info and heart for helping others . Doug and Stacey are dangerous people ! Dangerous to the status quo. They help everyone become stronger , faster , happier , smarter and more independent.
=)
Yes! Doug & Stacey are great. I learn a lot from them as well.
I got hooked on fermented veggies thanks to Doug & Stacy's channel. The sky's the limit for recipes! I love the Gardiniera best and green beans with garlic.
I started fermenting last year and my first project was saurkraunt. It is so awesome and crunchy. So good for you too. I don't have the glass weights but got creative. I put a ziplock bag in my filled jar and then added some water in another smaller glass jar and filled with water. I would go in daily to every other day and take it out and take my thingy (lol) from my canning and push on the cabbage and let the bubbles go up and out. It worked great and kept it all clean. It is so awesome Don't be afraid. It only gets better as you will find yourself fermenting a little bit of everything. Love you guys and enjoy your vids. God Bless.....
Your enthusiasm for fermenting is refreshing, you guys are awesome. I'm so glad I subscribed!
love your enthusiasm!
Thanks Sarah! Great instructions for fermenting
Your excitement is like a child in a candy store.... I have such a fear of the taste. I've been rolling it around in back of my head to start fermenting. After watching you and your excitement I just may have to give it a go. Thanks.
Definitely try it, DJ. The sour-ness is really much more mild than pickles from the store. It's hard to describe. And the flavor of this recipe was amazing!
Sarah thanks for the video and until next time.
I am so glad to hear that you like fermenting. I haven't started yet, and I am so ready. Thank you for your encouragement.
I love your enthusiasm in this video. I love Doug and Stacy as well. I wish I lived near you guys. It would be so much fun to live near some others who loving doing this kind of stuff.
You are so excited!!!
Your video was fabulous. I love how real and truthful you are about your fears of fermenting. I'm in the same place and want to start fermenting too. Your video came at the right time. Excellent instructions. Hugs❤️
You're so cute when you're excited, I love it. And while canning will not be something I'd go into much, I definitely will look into fermenting. Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing !
I am about to use mine for the first time. Love Doug and Stacy, I found you through them. Am so enjoying your canning and fermenting videos.
This is a true fear of mine! I am new to canning and every time I open a jar this goes through my head. I do a little prayer!
Welcome to the world of fermenting. I hope to see some more fermenting videos. I'm so going to try this one. I did ginger carrots...yum
I like sauerkraut; but, not the canned stuff from the supermarket shelf. I tuned into a video on the Cabin Talk channel and learned an easy way to make fermented cabbage. Claudia put different kinds of cabbage as well as other veggies into her jars. I just made it with cabbage. I have even made the prep easier by shredding the cabbage into a gallon size zip lock bag and adding a one tablespoon of non-iodized salt. After it's rested for 10 minutes or so, I get out my marble rolling pin and then the fun begins. I let the fermenting process for 21 days and the sauerkraut is perfect for me.
You have encouraged me in so many ways! After morning devotion, breakfast, & a brisk walk, your videos on TH-cam are how I begin each day.. I going to purchase the fermenting kit you’ve recommended & begin my next kitchen adventure! Many thanks & warmest wishes to your lovely family.
Great Video, I love fermenting cabbage and beets. This year I'll be doing more. It's Great for your Gut.
Now I want to try this thankyou so very much. I don’t have a homestead but I still enjoy pickling canning baking cooking and now maybe fermenting.
I fermented saurkraut and I'm hooked too. Food grade buckets with airlocks is where it's at. Very easy, nutritious and tasty.
I'm really glad you posted this. I too have held off on fermenting but will start doing so very soon! Thanks for the info.
I'm hooked on your canning and I'm also hooked on Doug and Stacys fermenting my 2 favorite channels 😀
I have felt the same way as you about fermenting but this looks very doable. Thanks for sharing and helping ease my worries.
Thanks so much for doing this video. I saw Stacy's video as well but haven't tried fermenting yet (I have been scared too).They are about an hour from me and I love their channel. I am happy to have found your channel as well.
great job sarah, fermenting is something i got to try next season when i start getting some of my fresh homegrown veg
“I tried it, and not only did I not die.... I liked it”! I’m so happy for you! I cant wait to try to make some stuff one day soon too! Glad you can help me on that journey too! I really appreciate and adore you girly!!!!!
Mmmmm! Sauerrkraut! I did it, fantastic, then canned it! If you lose the glass pebbles, fill a plastic bag with water to cover your cabbage, Works great!
Oh my gosh yes, i enjoy it so much. I had order this kit problably about a year fron staycies link. I just pulled it out and almost follow you around on the video. I cut my carrots while you were tqlking. Now to make the brim.
I’m halfway through this video and I am so flipping excited!!!! I tried fermenting this summer on some cucumbers and can’t wait to try more!!
Thanks for uploading and i am happy to see you are almost at 10 k mark in subscribers. I am still pondering fermenting being more of a freezer user.
I tried this fermenting recipe and I am hooked. I was a little scared of it but it starts to do its thing and is absolutely delicious. I will be doing more of this with other veggies. Thx
As of today you have 225k subscribers 💚 that is so awesome 💚
And now you have over 136,000 subscribers 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Welcome to the hooked on fermenting club! We also just began fermenting this summer due to Doug and Stacy and love it, especially carrots. Try green peppers, it is also excellent. Blessings.
I just finished a batch that Stacy did on her video. I got my kit for Christmas. I love it. I was doing it the old fashioned way. That stuff is so fun and delicious. She also got me started on the shrub and komucha.
Thanks!
Well your announcement was suspenseful!!! Glad you like fermentation. I finally made a shrub ferment. Have fun!😀
I just bought this kit after watching this video. Thank you so much for this review. Looking forward to trying this fermenting system.
Good luck!
It's so funny seeing you so excited. You might convince me to start fermenting!
I just finished my first batch of fermented vegetables. Cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, peppers and green beans. Kind of forgot about them . . . two months later I uncapped the jars. Most everything looked okay except the green beans. Some of them had snuck around the glass puck and . . . yuck! Nasty. And I had stacked them so carefully to. The flavor of fermented veggies is very different. I can only take a little at a time. Mostly as an addition in salads. My peppers had a white film on top. I a!most threw them but Stacey (a.k.a. Doug and Stacey) informed me that this was yeast and was perfectly fine. very common with vegetables with a higher sugar content. Great vid. Very encouraging.
Thank you for the video and the benefits of fermenting. I am going to try it. Love your channel I learn so much.
Sarah, I am as excited as you are about your adventures in gardening, canning, and fermenting. I have a raised bed garden b/c I am 72 and just learning to be self sufficient (well sort of). My Aunt Mildred taught me many many years ago to make butter, butter milk, cheese, whey, & fermenting, etc. We foraged for food in the wild. And then. . . I got away from it but am learning to come back to the self sufficiency. It is so rewarding to be able to can, ferment, and eat out of my own garden. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your amazing and exciting youtube channel. I watch frequently. I only wish I had started earlier. But as a single mom I had to work. I am still working but I can now enjoy being self sufficient as much as I am able. Its just fun and rewarding. Love your family. Go girl.
I absolutely loved your video, your enthusiasm is so so fantastic. It's really infectious. I want to go ferment things RIGHT NOW but it's midnight and i need to go to bed haha.
Love from Australia :)
Sarah sometimes you are really funny(this time being one of them) so glad that you are feeling better and are in a happier place.. Happy Holidays to all..
Congratulations 🎉👏👏👏
WOW From 5,000 to 40,000 subs in less than a year? That's very, very cool. Congratulations. I bet Stacy put you right about the dietary benefits of Fermenting.
I'm just now getting to this video! Im watching this while I'm sipping on my home brewed kombucha! Welcome to the ferment club!
I have started this process with you thanks for showing it to me. I have some pickles started today. Will let you know how it comes out.
Wow that's easy I been excited to ferment
Never heard of this before. Found your tutorial very informational. Thank You for a great explanation on this. Found this very helpful. Need to check into this in the near future. God Bless you .....
Oh fun, now I want to try! I always wanted to try but scared of it making me sick and stuff too! thanks for doing this video
Happy to see you catch the bug. I fermented sauerkraut in a crock, loved it, crock froze and broke. I like the mason top design and convenience. I will try it soon.
Thanks for being real in this video. I too recently bought the Mason Tops set and am a little trepidatious about starting. This is encouraging. Btw, look how your channel has grown in 10 months!!! Congrats :)
Next step ... moonshine.
Lol!
Hahaha!!
Carrot Jalapeno Moonshine!
Fermenting fills my desire to 'shine.
Thanks again Sarah! I steam my vegs til they are still lightly crunchy. You still maintain all the vits that way. I get a good steam going then move the pot off the burner and let sit for a couple of mins to your desired texture.
Very interesting. I've learned so much from all your videos.
I need this in my life.
I just got the exact same mason top kit today and fermented some cucumbers. I too was inspired by Doug and Stacy to buy the kit and keep on fermenting. My first experience was sourkraurt inspired by Lisa at Farmhouse on Boone.
I think I'm hooked too. Really enjoyed your video and excitement.
Thank you for sharing the fermentation process. The carrots look delicious prepared that way. And I would love to make my own sauerkraut too! Blessings.
Your so funny. I've been curious about fermenting. Thank you for the video, I had no idea there was a fermenting kit!
I Love fermenting!!! The pickle pebble was hard to remove from the jar though. I got a dart (with a suction cup) from my grandsons toy gun and used that, it worked great. You can get pebbles with finger groves on one side that make it easier to get out of the jar. Happy Fermenting.
Sarah, I have to be honest with you here. When your video first came up. I just by passed it. I just didn't care about Fermenting. However this morning when I turned on my computer and went to TH-cam, and your video showed up again. So i decided that I needed to try something new. Well, I loved your video as always. I will be ordering my kit and will try it. And after I read all the comments, I am sure I will love it. Thank you, so much for sharing and making it so easy to try new things.
Favorite line: "I tried it.....and not only did I not die(!)....but I loved it." Had me laughing out loud.
This was great. I also loved seeing how excited you were about 5,000 followers. Now you have over 120,000, and you and Kevin deserve every single one! I love your videos amd family so much. Your love of each other and the Lord is so refreshing and inspirational. When I'm in a position to purchase my own home, which hopefully won't be that much longer, I am really looking forward to implementing soooo many of the things I've learned on your channel. Thanks for the great videos! -Sarah 🏠🌾
No need to buy expensive kits. I used plastic lids or small glass bowls as seen on other websites. Some use sandwich bags with water in them to weight the veggies down. Save money and look through what you have. I’ve enjoyed many of your videos, thank you!
Last year I made a beautiful ferment with kale, onion, and red cabbage but was afraid to eat it. Will try again after listening to you. Thanks, Nana Pam Ohio
I have that kit and I love it!
Love this video 👍
If you use a couple of bay leaves it helps to keep it crisp, put them in the jar with other spices...
I think I just added almost everything and added you guys on my amazon account love watching you guys and I just added Rabbits to my two acre homestead
I have the masontops fermentation kit too!! I've done lemons and carrots so far. I do use the pounder a lot. I even use it just to smash my egg shells before adding to the compost.
Yes, my grandparents did ferminting but l never learned, we did have sour crout from grocery store and some homemade pickles,
I also bought a fermenting kit a few months ago, and have been too chicken to try it. I am going to give it a try in the next week! Thanks for the video!!
