    Way too much green onion from the garden, so swmbo said why not kimchi, quite good for first try. Not for the faint of breath  =)

    Now that should be delicious !
    Today is day six, tasted decent. Never made kimchi before, let alone green onion kimchi! Became a fish sauce snob after tasting the Red Boat, wish I didn't pour two bottles of Three Crabs down the drain then. Would have been perfect for kimchi, no gonna experiment with $pendy Red Boat.

    When people start giving away the vegetables they’ve grown and don’t know what to do with …..,Ferment The Sh!t



    Added some onion and garlic I had before they went south 



    Blend to a mash, 3% salt …. Added a bit of water at a 3% solution 


    To the top of the fridge for a month or so … mashes ferment quick , give it a stir every day or so..  not a big deal if you don’t  ( top of the fridge needs dusting lol )



    Thanks for looking

    Haven’t done Whole Grain Mustard for a while 



    3% salt to the weight of the seeds 



    Top off with a 3% salt water solution, the seeds will swell , I add some brine from an existing ferment to get things going



    back in a few weeks , thanks for looking

    I see you added a proportional amount of salt to the weight of the seeds, and a 3% salt solution; what final salinity does it end up, and is there a reason you do both?

    Looks awesome @Dyal_SC ! Save that mash … I dehydrate and blend to a powder ….makes a great pepper salt as well

    @Botch I want ( for the most part ) my final salinity to be 2-3% …. When doing a “ mash” like sauerkraut or pepper mash that will create its own brine I will go by the weight of the “ yo be fermented” then add brine as needed to top off ( a 2-3% brine) I do mustard the same way since the seeds will absorb much of the water it’s more of a safety factor .. I could probably do just a 2-3- brine and call it good . Some to salt to the weight of the “ to be fermented “ and just top off with water, in my mind that will dilute the salinity to an unknown

    can you move this to the main page?  I keep forgetting about it and it has tons of value.  The last admin spoiled our fun by hiding the entire "Off-Topic" sub in an area you cannot see unless you specifically go here.

    wonder if they could do something about the old thread posting problem that happens with old past threads with this one, it would really be bad to lose it to that vanilla problem
