Great question. Extra headspace when making Fire Cider shouldn't affect curing, but it is recommended to find a vessel that is close to what you are making. Too little is worse of a potential issue if the Brew expands and overflows your vessel.
This looks great! Can we use the veggies for anything after they've set in vinegar for so long? Are they too acidic to use as compost, frozen for broth making, or used in a recipe?
Great question! I do compost the veggies after straining. I imagine you could definitely use them in a broth or recipe! Great idea! I'll have to try that!
Thanks for your comment. The ginger and horseradish were added to the jar first. Followed by the garlic, peppers, and onion. And yes, it does make a delicious dressing among other things!
New moon to new moon- I learned something new. Ty
Great Video , cant wait to try it
Thank you
After pouring off finnished cider, can you reuse pulp again with fresh apple cider vinegar. 👍
We don't recommend this. A better use for the strained pulp is to dehydrate and then feed it to the chickens or pigs if you have them.
Does headspace (too much) matter in curing? Thanks in advance

You can dehydrate them and use as a seasoning
No ginger/ no horseradish??? This is not fire cider but it's a salad dressing.
