Day 15 chilli ferment pH test
Thing is not going to kill me this is a good colour. Using a soil pH test kit (of all things) immediately headed towards acidic. That was a good ferment.
Going to blend it up tm with some vinegar to punch it down a bit more
That is so clever!! That way you know it's safe and actually fermenting properly.
Fermenting, like, turning into alcohol? I don't know how I feel about that, but chilli alcohol sounds kinda vile. Then again, I watched a series where a dude turned mountain dew into wine, and another where he turned peeper marshmallows into a mead and it looked kind of interesting.
Sauerkraut is fermentation. Cheese is fermentation. Pickles are fermentation. Sourdough is fermentation. Not all fermentation is alcohol.
Ok.
more like sauerkraut or kim chi.
Ah, right
