Review on Easy Fermenter Wide Mouth Weights by Vona Salinas

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The recipe doesn't work, but the weights and lids are fine.

Covers aren't bad so far. I really like glass weights. But I tried two recipes for carrots from the booklet and the fermenting didn't work for me. They were very salty. One had a white film on the glass, weight and carrots. The other had strange muddy water. They didn't smell fermented. There were no blisters. I ferment frequently so I know how it looks, smells and tastes. I repeated recipes using sourdough, unheated low-salinity brine, and the rest of the ingredients. This time I'm seeing bubbles so I have more hope for this round. But if you've never fermented before, make sure you see bubbles and smell a distinct pungent odor. It shouldn't be musty.
