lactofermented fruits and vegetables

[Guest guest]

I'm taking my first try at making lactofermented items. Most of the recipes say

something like leave at room temperature for 2 days before transferring to

refrigerator. Is it OK to store them at room temperature, or must they be

transferred to the fridge after the amount of days called for? I am realizing

that I've made more than my fridge will hold. Ooops.

LOL been there done that. I've had to get pretty creative sometimes to fit

everything in the fridge. Where abouts do you live? We have an unheated

mudroom that I thought could easily be used as an extra fridge durring the

winter (I think the temp of a fridge is 4*C) but when I checked the temp is

was NEGATIVE 4*C so that ruled that out. If we lived somewhere a bit milder

it may have worked. If you can find a part of your home that stays

consistanly above freezing but no higer than 4 degrees celcius you should be

able to keep stuff in there.

I keep mine in the neighbor's basement but please, don't tell her.

BTW if you are using recipes out of Nourishing Traditions, for the

first time, cut way, way back on the salt called for to save youself

some disappointments.

Thanks, for the idea. I think the outside wall of our attached garage

will probably do. I'll take the temp there later. Since we're in the midst of

winter, itll at least work 'til spring. I know dh won't let the saurkraut last

that long anyway

(s),

just to clarify, when I referred to " recipes " in Nourishing

Traditions, I meant the fermented veg/fruit chapter, not the rest of

the book.

Thanks. Yes, I am using Nourishing Traditions recipes. I was given that tip on

the ginger carrots, but is it the same for all the recipes? I hope I didn't

ruin the saurkraut. Do you half it, or even more?

I only put as much salt in as tastes good pre-fermentation.
