  Just wondering, did you plant the Aji Cito? Haven't come across them before.

Thanks for the input and response! No doubt what you are proposing is a simpler method and possibly better.   Yes I believe that the strain of Lacto will make a difference in flavour but I've not yet found any research article on what that difference might be. Coming from a homebrewing...

Any input on my planning would be appreciated. Don't have much experience yet so there's still many hard lessons to be learned which I'd like to minimise.

So my first ferment for this season seems to be going well. 500g cayenne peppers, chopped, blended, put in sanitised mason jar, 6% salt on top, flush headspace with Co2, lid on mason jar not tightened.
