is there no rules for timing this, recipes go 3 days to 3 months. started some this weekend with thai,cayenne,ajicitos, onion, and garlic. its held under the brine with a fermenter lock on top like the black coleslaw i made last fall ;)

    My saurkraut will be one month in the Fermat come this Thursday. Time varies depending on what it is. I just started beets and carrots yesterday. And the okra I did earlier I stopped after day 4 but still added some raw ACV to punch it up and then fridged it. 
    I like my butt rubbed and my pork pulled.

    Don't know about a fermat.  I just pick the peppers when nice and red, place in a glass jar with apple cider vinegar, fresh garlic peeled or garlic powder  some fish sauce. I usually use a 1/2 gal jar and when the season is over, I just let sit until i feel they have been there long enough , sometimes go for a month or 2 if not in a hurry.  When ready take a stick blender and blend.  Transfer to smaller jars for gifts or just keep some in a ketchup squeeze bottle by the stove  for when need. I have some over a year old and still taste great with a nice kick. careful about the amount of fish sauce as it is salty. Has a great shelf life.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.
