Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the ideal temperature for fermentation?

The ideal temperature is typically between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Cooler temperatures slow down fermentation, while warmer temperatures can speed it up.

How much headspace should I leave in the jar?

Always ensure you leave a maximum headspace of 2.5 inches/6.5cm.

How long does fermentation typically take?

Fermentation times vary depending on the recipe and temperature, but most ferments take from a few days to several weeks.

What kind of salt should I use?

Use non-iodized salt, such as sea salt or kosher salt, as iodine can inhibit the fermentation process.

How do I know when my fermentation is complete?

The fermentation is complete when the vegetables have reached your desired taste and texture. Taste test the ferment regularly. Usually, a sour or tangy flavor indicates that it is ready.

How do I store the fermented food?

Once the fermentation is complete, transfer the jar to the refrigerator to slow down the process and store it. Fermented foods can last for several months in the refrigerator.

Can I use this set for other types of food preservation?

The Kilner Fermentation Set is specifically designed for fermentation. It is not suitable for other methods of preservation such as canning or pickling.

Troubleshooting

Mold growth on the surface

Discard the batch. Ensure vegetables are submerged in brine and that headspace is maintained. Clean the jar thoroughly before the next use.

Liquid leaking from the jar

Check the seal of the silicone lid and the airlock. Ensure the jar isn't overfilled. Reduce the amount of vegetables.

Slow fermentation

Ensure the fermentation environment is at the correct temperature (typically between 65-75°F or 18-24°C). Check the salt levels and recipe for accuracy. Wait for a longer period.

Unpleasant smell

Discard the batch. Ensure proper hygiene. Re-evaluate recipes and ingredients.
