Outstanding, I can not believe I just watched 22 minutes of sauerkraut making tips. You are captivating and entertaining, and your humor is fantabulous! Have a great day!
My 3 year old turned on this video and watched it intently.... I asked if he was enjoying the video, he said, "Yeah, I love Anna!" I think he has a crush on you! Or he really likes ferments🤣
It's probably just because she sounds and appears friendly and is happy about her fermenting. Children don't think the same way men and teens do. Be careful not to project that way of thinking onto him.
Younger viewers won't get the analogy of Archie, Veronica and Betty--but I loved it!!! Thank you for sharing this. We love kraut here on The Hill but have yet to be successful with it.
I worked at the book company that made that book. I helped work on putting it together and in turn, received a copy of it before it left the factory. I absolutely love it and live by it 🥰
Thanks Anna. I have not fermented anything in my life, yet. I’m excited to gain all the knowledge from this collaboration so I can give it a whirl. Your videos are not only educational, but funny as heck 😂
I’m ready to learn how to ferment all the things! This was a great overview and introduction to fermenting cabbage. Thanks for making it fun, esp all the Princess Bride references!
I really appreciate you and the other collaborators taking the time to teach this valuable part of food preservation. I am a complete newbie so am really looking forward to all the new recipes for a healthier gut.
@@FermentedHomestead how does fermenting affect oxalate content? .... Is there a reason why calcium chloride is used in commercial pickling - such as adding calcium to bind up oxalates in our overly vegetable oxalate diet eating OUT OF SEASON and NOT LOCAL...??
I just started fermenting last summer with the veggies from my garden. I’ve had some success and some failures. I’m so excited for this collaboration! I plan on learning so much and having many of my questions answered. Thank you for doing this. 😊
@@blackrock5749 not the white fuzz? Mold will be colored and will only start growing on the vegetables. Keep the veggies under the brine, and mild can not grow.
YUS!!!! OMG !!!! I did that for here in the UK and honestly in the time they've been recording it less than 100 cases ... some from before we had fridges so things like "jugged hare" and some granny sent their grandchildren a salami from Italy and the biggest one from Hazelnut yogurt made in a factory when I was a kid ... NONE from home preserved foods. We don't do pressure canning here ( I mean some people do if they can afford a months income to buy a pressure canner and get the stuff) but we use fermenting, vinegar based pickling, water bathing, alcohol, air drying and salting. Great video Thankyou so much for making this video xox
Thank you for doing this series. I’ve been fermenting foods for years and I find so many people are afraid of it. I get it. A big ole Scoby looks like something you should not go near!😂. I have someone coming today and I’m helping her get started with fermentation. I’ll direct her to this video!
You crack me up! But very informative. I was laughing before I even started the video just because of the title. I’m just now watching some of the videos from some time ago. Thank you for your efforts in teaching the skills and techniques and educating us! I have been thinking of doing this for some time now but have been very intimidated to get started for fear of what could go wrong or making someone else sick, etc… So you put this altogether very well. It is a serious topic, but you made it all fun. I laughed so hard. Thank you for all you do!
I’m super excited to learn more about fermentation! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Thank you for everyone who is participating in putting this collaboration together for our benefit.
February is going to be an amazing month! I’m so excited to learn more about fermentation so I can get the courage to jump in and start fermenting foods! Thank you Anna for hosting such a great collaboration!
Yay! Fermented February is here! Thank you so much for hosting this, Anna! Also thank you for sharing so much great info. I ain’t gonna lie I’m kinda scared to start but I did get a kit for Christmas and really want to learn!
The timing of this Collab is perfect for me, just started my first ferments today! Glad that Heidi over at Rain Country mentioned it in one of her videos I was watching.
I have always wanted to learn how to ferment foods safely. Thank you Anna for taking the fear out of fermentation and making it so fun! Looking forward to all of the great contributions in this collaboration. Blessings on your day Kiddo!🥰🌻🐛💕
@@briankerr4512 depending on how active ur ferment is, it might pay to keep an eye on the jars and Lids, not uncommon for beer to xplode, guessing this could take place here as well if u over do the ferment activity
Agreed! I grew up being raised by my Grandma and she was very “old school,” born in 1915. We had a root cellar and canned everything! She taught me early just to scrape mold from top of jelly if it got in, wipe the rim of had and I was never sick. We kept jars of everything for years! She made her own wine in huge Rubbermaid trash cans with a boat or, too 🥰🤣 She could do anything! My point is…. I grew up healthier than my friends! (80’s kid here lol)
I received my fermenting set yesterday and I have already made some sauerkraut and it is so very pretty just sitting in it's jar and doing its thing. Thank you for teaching me how to ferment, next on my list carrots. Have a blessed day.
I just found your channel thanks to the Happy Homestead. Love, love, love your humor and enthusiasm. I love fermenting. I've been doing it now for about a year. Thank you for your time to share with us.
Thanks for the video. I love your energy and all the info you give. I’ve tried sauerkraut three times an had only the first one worked. Will have to try again.
I just found your channel, have just started fermenting and want to learn. Thanks for the book referral, and I can't tell you how much I laughed and enjoyed the Princess Bride references. Thanks and I'll be catching up on your channel. 👍👍
Omg! You are awesome! I have the best time watching your videos! You found my learning style and i'm loving it! Looking forward to learning more about fermenting foods. Thanks so much!
Thank you- I have watched a ton of videos on sauerkraut and decided a few weeks ago it was just time to try so I have 2 gallon jars of kraut fermenting in my cantry right now. I had gotten scared since I saw no more bubbles but guess I’m in stage 3 now- this video has been amazingly helpful and I cannot wait to watch all the videos throughout the month! Thanks again - I am so excited!!!!
I loved your video. So much great information and you make it seem so easy. I'm nervous to try fermentation but after your video I will try. Thank you.
Wow, I need to listen to this a couple times so that all the information will soak in! Even with all the information, you make it sound simple and delicious. Thank you
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for hosting Fermented February. I'm looking forward to learning all about fermenting because I'm just starting my journey into fermenting foods.
Interesting info I have a couple of the masontops lids and a couple ball ones also weights. I have used it a few times but success wasn't great going to break my stuff out and try again. Thanks for giving me the interest to try again.
LOL. I absolutely LOVE your channel. I can't wait to learn more about fermenting from you. I started fermenting cabbage a couple of years ago. YUM. Then Kombucha last year.
I plan on starting my first fermenting project tomorrow and I'm starting with sauerkraut. I'm really glad I caught your video for a little added confidence. Thanks!
Thanks so much Anna. Watching you brings great joy to my heart. Love that you and I share the continuous learning gene. And love your sense of humor! Very excited to learn more about fermenting.
Thank you for this collaboration!! It is so nice to have a learning experience with humor. This makes the information stick, whereas, a monotone speech becomes so dull my mind thinks it is trash and it doesn't find the memory file. I never realized that fermented foods were so beneficial. I thought it was just a taste preference. You have opened a whole new line of thinking for me and I can't wait to begin. Thank you again.
Thanks Anna. I tried fermented veggies a few years ago from stuff I grew in the garden, but ended up with so much kahm yeast I gave up. Looking to trying it again. Hopefully the cooler weather will make a difference.
Thanks Anna for teaching us about fermentation. My mom used to make sauerkraut in the big crocks and I remember her giving us tastes of it. Love your video style so funny!
Anna, I have been watching your videos for a while now and thoroughly enjoy them! You give a lot of good information without telling people "you have to do it this way!" You show where leeway is possible within safe guidelines. You are so real and honest! I think I'm going to LOVE Fermented February.
Anna, you crack me up. You have absolutely blossomed in youtublandia. Your first videos when I found you were very quiet and reserved. Since you met the other three homesteaders, Constance, Julie and Tangi at HSA, you're a riot. I can't keep up with your side cracks. Loved today's Princess Bride references 😍 Happy fermenting!
Thanks for the info, video and the collab. I have been trying to start fermenting for a couple of years now. My husband is not so sure of the safety in me canning or fermenting. I am slowly winning him over on the canning. I will definitely be starting a sauerkraut and maybe a ginger beer soon.
I started fermenting with Heidi, then Stacy, mostly sauerkraut. So great for my ibs! But recently read a lot about high histamine foods, and with many symptoms, thought to take a break from kraut. But I am glad to be here, learning, thanks for this collaboration.
Hi sweet lady, I'm so excited about this collaboration!!! I found you on the canuarary collaboration 2023.

I learn so much from listening to you. I LOVE sauerkraut....But have been afraid to make it. until now. You have filled me with such confidence that I am going out Cabbage hunting. Reuben sandwiches and sauerkraut, sausage and potatoes look out. I'm making some sauerkraut. Good luck and much success with your Fermented February. Ferment on :)
Hi Anna, Got my fermenting kit two days ago and have been waiting for this video! Got my Sauerkraut in the jars with the use of my great kit.....will be watching my jars like a hawk! Thanks.
Very cool! I have some cabbage I need to do something with. I should try this :)
Outstanding, I can not believe I just watched 22 minutes of sauerkraut making tips. You are captivating and entertaining, and your humor is fantabulous! Have a great day!
Wow, thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
You took the words out of my fingers! Absolutely Awesome! Exceptionally captivating and entertaining, and so ingeniously informative...

I loved Fermented February last year so I’m looking forward to this one. I’m also loving the Princess Bride references in this video.
I'm excited to get more ideas for fermenting. Just put some jars of fermented lemons and limes in the fridge yesterday.
Younger viewers won't get the analogy of Archie, Veronica and Betty--but I loved it!!! Thank you for sharing this. We love kraut here on The Hill but have yet to be successful with it.
🤣
A risk I was willing to take 😂
I worked at the book company that made that book. I helped work on putting it together and in turn, received a copy of it before it left the factory. I absolutely love it and live by it 🥰
I love the humor you use while informing, encouraging, and explaining fermenting! Thanks for the info.
Enjoying the humor. Was just looking for help fermenting cabbage, but got the added bonus of the comedy. 😅
Love your energy and thank you for the information

Been fermenting for years. This is the best explanation for beginners I have seen. If your new watch this video again and again.
Thanks for sharing
Oh my word! I love the way you’ve been doing your “science geek” videos! Can’t wait for this whole series! Thank you for putting it together!

I sure do!
I’m so happy you started this. I thought I’d feel lost without Canuary, but the fun continues! Thank you Anna!
Right?! And then there’s Make It March!
@@FermentedHomestead whaaat??
I hope my garden does better this year so that I can try some of these recipes.
Thanks, Anna, for hosting this collaboration for us. I look forward to expanding my fermenting knowledge.
Can't wait for this. So happy to have found your page during Canuary. The only thing that I've fermented so far is sauerkraut.
I just started fermenting last summer with the veggies from my garden. I’ve had some success and some failures. I’m so excited for this collaboration! I plan on learning so much and having many of my questions answered. Thank you for doing this. 😊
Are you hooked on fermenting?
What type of failures.
@@richlaue mainly mold 🙄
@@blackrock5749 not the white fuzz?
Mold will be colored and will only start growing on the vegetables. Keep the veggies under the brine, and mild can not grow.
@@blackrock5749 white fuzz if Kahm yeast. It needs O2 but is safe, to stir in or remove.
YUS!!!! OMG !!!! I did that for here in the UK and honestly in the time they've been recording it less than 100 cases ... some from before we had fridges so things like "jugged hare" and some granny sent their grandchildren a salami from Italy and the biggest one from Hazelnut yogurt made in a factory when I was a kid ... NONE from home preserved foods. We don't do pressure canning here ( I mean some people do if they can afford a months income to buy a pressure canner and get the stuff) but we use fermenting, vinegar based pickling, water bathing, alcohol, air drying and salting.
