I know this is a stupid question, but here it goes.
I had ground up my cayenne mash, added 6% salt, put it in buckets with airlocks and let it go. I know it takes quite a while, and it's only been 3 weeks. The PH is at 4.2 right now.
First, when do I know fermentation is complete?
Second, I could not resist the urge to sample a little of it and it tasted great. Am I putting myself at any kind of health risk by trying it before it is done fermenting?
Thx!
