The ideal temperature is typically between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Cooler temperatures slow down fermentation, while warmer temperatures can speed it up.
Always ensure you leave a maximum headspace of 2.5 inches/6.5cm.
Fermentation times vary depending on the recipe and temperature, but most ferments take from a few days to several weeks.
Use non-iodized salt, such as sea salt or kosher salt, as iodine can inhibit the fermentation process.
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.
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.
The Kilner Fermentation Set is specifically designed for fermentation. It is not suitable for other methods of preservation such as canning or pickling.
Discard the batch. Ensure vegetables are submerged in brine and that headspace is maintained. Clean the jar thoroughly before the next use.
Check the seal of the silicone lid and the airlock. Ensure the jar isn't overfilled. Reduce the amount of vegetables.
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.
Discard the batch. Ensure proper hygiene. Re-evaluate recipes and ingredients.
The Kilner Fermentation Set is specifically designed for fermentation and is compatible with various vegetables commonly used in fermentation, such as cabbage, cucumbers, carrots, and radishes. Use only food-grade ingredients.
