Hey yall, here is the link ---> masontops.com/offgrid it saves you some money
and its an affiliate link HAVE A GREAT DAY and LEAVE A COMMENT!
Thank u going to order
I have the Mason Tops! ♡ iam not using burping tops for the ACV. I would like to know about apple cider vinegar In its stages,is it a good ferment if the apple juice is hissing when I turn open the top.It's fermenting Right ? Or souring?🍎💞🤔
I’m so excited to start fermenting! I ordered the kit and I also ordered the All American Sun Oven! Because of everything going on, it’s going to be 3 weeks before they arrive. I’m just glad I finally decided to invest and it’s on the way😃
ok..comment,is that ok?
sold out ((...
It's happened to me a couple times but u have taught this older woman new things. I'm 62 n ur never to old to learn. THANK U SO MUCH N HAVE A GREAT WEEK😳🌹
Della Smalley I'm older than you and I don't consider myself old in any way, shape or form. I said to a friend the other day that I'd love to do another degree. I'm never going to consider myself old. I'm either alive, or passed over.
@@Starlight22215 I'm 55 and I feel the same way. I somehow manage to learn something new every day!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way about learning! I love learning new things everyday. I just said recently on my Facebook page that I enjoy learning things more now than when I was young.
Age is just a number; however, when I turned 50, I told myself it was time to stop climbing trees.
Well Della, now I feel really old! From where I'm standing you are young! I'll take 62! Today is the youngest we will ever be! 💌
Great video! I started with three jars and two had yeast and the third was a tad "furry" and it saw the disposal. The remaining two hit the fridge after two weeks and I'm enjoying daily, a fermented vegetable snack and ever since I started eating them, I've had ZERO heartburn. Thanks for the video.
Just as an idea and cheap alternative a tip for people who can not purchase the burping silicone tops. I used simple cheap silicone gloves and put a little hole in one of the fingers. It worked like a charm for burping my sauerkraut if you use smaller glass you might want to secure that glove with a rubber band. Just an idea that worked for me. But I absolutely 💘the glass pucks. Thank you Stacey for all your guys wonderful videos I'm following you since years. God bless🤗
Just started fermenting/canning and it's a bit intimidating. But my husband tried a small jar of homemade sauerkraut last night (first batch ever) and said it was the best he'd ever had. This vid contained such valuable information! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! Your content is truly helpful and inspirational. You guys are the real deal. 🥰 Thank God I found this channel. 🙌 Also, saw your vid on honey/garlic and made that a week ago. This will be a game changer for our family. If anyone sees this comment, please go watch it! Pure liquid gold for your body. 🤌❤️
I ordered my fermenting kit and 10 wide mouth jars today. I love veggies and can’t wait to start making sauerkraut. TFS. I’m looking forward to eating food that I’ve fermented. Blessings from California 💕
I am still climbiing trees and I am 71!
@@pamelapulsifer332😂I love that. 🎉❤❤❤
I Love how well you, Stacy and Doug explain everything you need to say to us. Your hard work is really appreciated. Also, another 👍like to the cameraman that made a good job. Stacy looks more pretty in this video. Doug?❤
I bought the Mason tops a year ago after watching you use them. Grew my own cabbage and made the best sauerkraut we ever tasted. Thank you for all your inspiration and encouragement:)
Nice!!
I know these are older videos, but I’m starting my fermentation journey today. I went to the farmers market and I’m loaded with home grown veggies. I’m excited!
I know this is an older comment, but how have your fermentation experiments worked out?
Ma'am, we love your high energy and how steady a guy Doug is. I particularly enjoy how you are always wearing big jewelry and gesticulating as my mom was very much the same and always a great laugh. Take care and Thank You for posting this helpful vid!
Just doing my first ferments, so excited to find this . I have digestive issues and esophagitis and gastritis. I can't wait to try this for the medical benefits. Thank you Stacy your amazing and so easy to learn from.
I currently have those same issues too. So may I ask how did you do with eating your ferments? I tried eating a little fermented kraut I made from my own homegrown cabbages I made last fall and I believe it made my symptoms worse. I tried eating it twice, just a tiny tip of a fork full then quit, threw it out. So I decided that maybe the cabbage was too hard for me to digest and now I'm fermenting some cherry tomatoes to see how I do on those. I've been really wanting to ask someone who deals with the same digestive issues and ask if ferments helped them? I'm hoping to balance the bacteria in my gut and get rid of this awful gassy bloat torment.
Have you considered that you might be gluten sensitive or gluten intolerant? Might be worth looking into. I hope you are able to find some relief for your symptoms. Best wishes.
So yes I love the way my Gardiner turned out and the green kraft with carraway.caraway.. the red with apple is a bit different than I'm used to, but I like it's milder flavor to get my morning 's started since I usually cannot stomach breakfasts. I will also look into your suggestion Patricia ambrose on this possible gluten free ideas it could be some of the underlying issues..thank you all so much
So helpful, Stacy. I'm fermenting broccoli with garlic and dill and cucumbers also with garlic and dill right now, as I'm watching this and a few other videos of yours. Thank you and thanks for the inspiration.
When I was a kid, we used to make "Crock Dill pickles" and that yeast was always on the top, along with fruit flies and other undesirable things, but the pickles were always great! Mom used to yell at us kids because we'd have half the crock emptied out before they were ready! We didn't know anything but they tasted good!
Thanks for sharing your childhood story. I think we'll try a batch of crock dill pickles just to see if our five kids enjoy them as much as you did and give them that same joy. Best-
I’m about to start some fermenting so it’s really good to have this information to begin with. Thank you very much
So good to know… we haven’t stated yet but I know I would have thrown it out to be on the safe side … thanks for the great advice
I love your videos. I am new to fermentation. I will be starting soon. I’m hoping to see you post videos on healthy living and regaining your health. You are so knowledgeable!
I was having good luck with a suction cup to remove my glass weight ... until I misplaced it. Have to find a new one. (It was from a stained glass window ornament and just the right size.) And, yes, I get the yeast on my carrot sticks more than anything -- high sugar content, plus larger pieces. Good to finally know why!
Great explanation, thank you. I've been pickling my red onions, but I'm going to do a counter ferment now that I'm confident. Appreciate your wisdom and look forward to your hair reveal.
Hi, Stacy…I’m new to fermenting I have watched many videos but by far yours is the best …you explain everything so very well and I want to thank you !!!!
I used to pickle veggies but now I have found fermenting (much easier). I also used to use a nice smooth rock; LOL I had one for years but lost it somehow. I grow my own cucumbers like I am sure you do. The most economical way. Thanks for your video. I do enjoy watching them.
I love doing the onion ferment. The red onions are really pretty too. 😘😘
Red onions are the most nutritious of the onion family.
I fermented carrot slices and in another jar, cauliflower. So good !
After a friend recommended your video, I am fermenting onion for the first time. I have the masontop fermenting system. Wish me luck.
You got this
Thank you for the fermenting recipes, tips, and tricks!
LOVE LOVE LOVE My ferments! So does everyone else! Thank you! Bless you!
I've canned for years but never fermented before. I'm going to start!!
My first ferment I tossed because of the film on top. It smelled good but I was afraid of it! Second time around I fermented various colorful peppers, some with heat, with some garlic and onions. Put grape leaves on top and types that with very thick sliced onions. Not having the device to keep air out, I put a plastic lid and backed it off half turn and let it sit. It did bubble over some but the bowl caught that. It tasted wonderful. Even the onion and grape leaves were good. I did not put mine in the fridge. Left it on the counter till the quart was fine. It did not kill me or even make me ill. Can't wait to do that again and try others. Need to invest in fermenting kit.
I have been fermenting for several years, but have learned so much new and helpful information from your channel! Best wishes to both of you and your animal family. Many thanks as well - from Homer, Alaska.
Oh yeah. Totally did that. Threw out two half gallon jars of sauerkraut. Haven't tried to ferment since.
Wish o had seen this a few years ago. I threw out an 8 gallon crock full of kraut!! I thought it had gone bad.
Stacy, this was a very good video. I have watched one or two of you and Dougs videos in teh past, but Doug said to go to the playlists the other day, and I am finding lots and lots of content.
Hi Stacy...I'm checking out all of your fermenting videos as I am excited to do this. Thank you.
I am glad you mentioned the yeast. I would have thrown it away as well. Thank you 😊
Thank you for showing the safe yeast and the other molds that can grow on the ferments.
started my first fermented food today. cherry tomatoes and basil. anxious to try this. wanna try peppers
For the first time I made fermented red onions yesterday. Can't wait for them to be ready for me to taste. Thank you for sharing this method. Love your videos.
I have fermented one batch so far.. first time ever n it s awesome I followed your video, now I'm doing my second ❤️☺️
I have some of the fermenting lids. Our home is being built. Cant wait to get in and get started. Thanks Stacy for more helpful advice.
Thank you Stacy. Looking forward to trying this.
I will be starting to ferment this year and am very excited! 😁
Thank you!
Starting to ferment again after a fermenting mishap a few yrs ago.
So far so good all is going well. You answered my question of what to do with it once it is done. Thank you for being specific! Most channels forget that some people watching have zero previous knowledge on the topic. We need details! So thank you so much for your details!!!
Stacy, thank you. I bought the mason tops and started my fermenting journey about 3 years ago. I threw away so many batches that I packed up the mason tops and put them on the shelf until my frustration wore off. Two weeks ago I made my first successful batch (onions and peppers). Watching this video made me aware of kahm yeast---I probably threw out multiple batches of good ferments with kahm yeast! Now I know--THANK YOU!!!! I appreciate all your videos and great explanations.
Got the FERMENTING KIT through your link last year! I have loved it. It was a great Christmas gift. Thanks for your tips. Rhonda
A picture is worth a thousand words. I actually talked to Mike Pratt at the HOA after I tried to ferment some cauliflower. I had bite-sized chunks and I tried some asparagus. It wasn't the taste I thought is should had but ate some anyway but the cauliflower, I thought was a failure. Mike thought it might have been because it was all one veggie instead of the mix. I now realize it was kahm yeast. I got my fermentation kit in August, sure wish they had the new "stones" in it then. I am surely going to try my hand at this again, maybe starting with onions. Thanks, Stacy.
Thank you! Good info on fermentation. I want to give it a try.
I can't wait for your new ferment book.
Just made my first fermented pickles and zucchini today,, can't wait for the one week
If you fill the mason jar with fresh brine until it overflows, the kahm yeast will float out of the jar in one piece rather than wiping with paper towels. Paper towels can re inoculate the jar with kahm or other spores.
It's easy to remove "hockey puck" style weights using a valve lapping tool - basically a suction cup on a stick. For food processing, you want one with a plastic shaft. Mine is a Goodson, but the $10 ones work just as well for this purpose.
Our fig tree is going crazy with small, sweet figs. Any ideas? Fig wine? We made fig jam, its easy, sugar, figs, a little water boiled down to thicken. We tried fig bread. It turned out delicious!
thank you for all the fermenting information.
Wow, cool man. I like fermenting and learned something. Plus, I am jealous of Doug.
I start to hate myself to live in downtown city
You motivated me to live in/with nature
Love homesteading Life
Hi Stacy. We are very new at this. What vegetables can be fermented? Thank you for your videos. It is most helpfull.
As a kid on the farm, we made our own sauerkraut in 5 gallon crocks. I can still smell it sometimes in my reveries! 2 crocks was enough for us and left some to give to relatives without gardens. But these days I just buy it at the store for myself, as my wife will not eat it. Gonna give kimchi a try one of these days. First time I have seen kahm, unless Mom removed it before I got to the jars of veggies.
love this....gotta make myself try fermenting...soon!!!
Just made pickles from your recent video and had yeast that scared me. But I talked to some Homestead Homies and found out it was okay! I definitely need to pick up for mason top vent lids!!!
Thank you! Very educational.
Thanks so much….I’m going to try fermenting. I really enjoy your videos.
Never thought of fermenting onions. Sounds like a great idea!
very good instructions. i think i will give it a go.
Thank you Stacey! 🙏💗✝️
I love my onions, especially white onion. I'll have to try this. Thanks.
Great analysis! I pick up my thin mold with paper towel too. Works great! I do have the mason tops and love them! We love fermenting foods!
Thanks for the tips.
I tried doing carrots a few years ago. After the second week I thought they were spoiled because they had this gray film on the top of the brine so I threw both jars out. Ack! They were probably fine! Plus the water was cloudy and I didn't know that was normal. My red cabbage sauerkraut turned out great but the green didn't do very well. I got frustrated and quit doing it for a few years but now I'm back trying things again. So far I've done asparagus, sweet peppers with onion and garlic, 2 jars of garlic, and I have another jar of red sauerkraut going. Wish me luck! You are a big help to me! I watch a lot of the videos on the smart tv so that doesn't let you comment, I have to get on the laptop and like and comment so I'm still catching up with myself.
Mine had a pink scum on it, so glad I threw it out. Thanks for all the tips! 👍
I ❤ your videos and am learning so much. What is happening in my fermented cherry tomatoes? They look fuzzy in the brine.
very good presentation.
I’ve fermented various types of peppers from cayenne to cow peppers, habanero and jalapeños. Do you have any recipes for making hot sauce?
Thanks for the link to mason tops
I’m brand new to fermenting. I’m trying fermented red onion with hatch chilies right now. I hope they turn out and taste delicious! 😬
I have throw away a few quarts in the past I just wasn’t sure at the time if they were safe.
This is my next must do
Thank you Stacy. Peace and love.
I just got my fermenting kit and I am getting ready to do my first ferment. I am gonna do fermented honey garlic! Thanks for the information!
Thank you Stacy! Great info. I had the yeast or mold question before also so I appreciate the info. I'm doing some onions tonight. Just bought a discounted bag of onions this morning. Woo hoo!
woo hoo
Thanks for the video! I have purchased the mason tops kit and have started my first batch. Now I know to look for the kahm yeast.
I love fermented veggies with my eggs in the morning. 😋
This was great! I am not so afraid to ferment now. Thanks so much!
Thank you Doug and Stacy. Very informative and clarifying. I'm new at this. Never done it before. I watched a few other TH-cam videos about it before, and they were a bit unclear and cumbersome. Your explanation and method are a lot more clear and simple; and a lot less cumbersome. Thanks for helping me weed through the internet/TH-cam maize. I will follow your directions. God bless. Thanks so very much.
Very informative, thank you!
I didn't know you could eat too much fermented vegs! lol that explains some things for me. Thank you so much for your channel, it's very informative.
This video came at the perfect time. I want to start fermenting things but iv been so afraid 😂 it's such a foreign concept for me. Thank you for teaching us these things!
Clear glass (no lid) baby food jars as well as 4 oz jelly mason jars will also fit in to jars wash them well and don't use the metal covers. Set onto of the food and also fill those with the brine. A tong or clean fingers makes for easy removal. I found old solid glass furniture leg sliders they looked brand new 4-$1 and use those all the time for weights.
In the spring the halls and rooms are full of seedlings and hanging lights. During harvest there's jars fermenting everywhere. Now I use mostly half gallon jars but there's all kinds stuffed around. Winter it's all about hydroponic along the halls , living room and everywhere a light can hang. It's great but the kids friends figure I'm crazy.
It happened when I made my own apple cider vinegar. I just made my fermented cabbage, I'm so excited for it. My brother got your fermentation book and now I want to ferment everything 😊🤣 I will be doing your ketchup soon. And I'm currently waiting for more Mason top burp lids, to line my counter with fermentations❤️ love watching your videos, thank you.
Fermenting some past due to harvest daikon this morning! This was quite helpful!!
Stacy, If Doug is at the woodlot. Who's working the camera and following you around?
😉
Stacy! thank you for your videos you have taught me a lot!! Question for you. Can you please clarify whether you use 4 tea spoons of salt per quart jar or per quart of fluid. Thanks again Lynne
Hi Stacy, love watching your videos! I need to know what do you do though if it is that lumpy mold on top?
Thanks Stacy! I haven't tried fermenting yet, seems easy enough.
Good info thanks
Thanks for sharing!!😋
Great tutorial
Stacy, I have fermented red onions that are about 6 months old in the fridge and they are slimy. Don’t smell bad, no black spots, just very gooey. Are they safe to eat?
How long can fermented vegetables last in a cool place such as a cellar? Thanks.
great video. informative and concise. thank you.... aw ha! kahm yeast developed on my peppers and we were so curious about it. thanks for shining light on the mystery.
Hi Stacy, I fermented for the first time and i did radishes, but i have a white covering over the top that formed and i dont know if its ok to still eat , it doesnt look like the kime yeast you talked about, it looks like a cotton ball.
Enjoying your fermenting videos
