First Lacto-ferment

[lordkiwi]

Next year I am building shade for my peppers. The heat in NJ summers basically lose me 2 months of production. Once it cooled down I started getting a great crop of Shishito, a mid heat level ufo shaped pepper and carolina reapers

Since pepperoncini are about the same shape as Shishito I am atempting my first lacto fermentation
thats @SkillCult for inspiration

Authentic Pepperoncini, How To Make and Store All Year

I have some starter comming in the mail tuesday but this was done with just salt and distilled water

I bought the glass fermenting weights and the bottle is an old kimchi jar.

Thanks for the suggestion and Skillcult’s video! Too cool up here to grow a bounty of Shishito so I’ve used slices of prolific Malinalco de Chupon with added ghouse Anaheim.

I too use glass weights with Pickle Pipes as airlocks.
