fermenting First ferment in awhile

Its been a long time since i have posted and put together any ferments.....well i have lots of time for my hobby of sauce making and growing now.....after 50 years of sitting in a dozer pushin dirt I have retired and cannot wait for my first ever summer off.
 
Anyways I put together a small simple ferment of some Habs,and Scotch Bonnets I had frozen from last year.
Added in some red onion,garlic and ginger.
I am using Cutting Edge's starter culture to get it going.
 
Once fermented and aged a bit I will add other ingredients when It comes time to process and bottle.

Also like using these easy ferment lids.......thanks for looking.
 
Congratulations on retiring, Sizzle Lips! :party:
I can tell you, firsthand, as a "guy on the ground" (or in the air, as an Ironworker ;) ), us younger guys hate to see the older guys with the most heavy equipment operating experience go! That being said, that's a job that definitely takes a toll on you over time. My stepfather was a crane operator / operating engineer his entire life, and he's had hip replacements and multiple carpal tunnel surgeries. He's enjoying his retirement now too... running an excavator for his brother 2-3 days a week :rolleyes: :rofl: He doesn't know when/how to quit! ;)

Your sauces look/sound great, like usual! Always looking forward to seeing what else you come up with

Congrats!
:cheers:

I have used that starter culture and I use those lids, both good choices.[emoji106]
The lids are great not having to worrying about bubblers...and when those cultures kick in ....they work hard and fast.

Thanks ,I cant wait to enjoy some nice weather around the yard this year......we have a few old timers getting ready to go soon .....management has been saying how much they really miss all of the experienced operators......just takes a little longer with the less experienced operators but they have to give them a chance in the seat....only way to learn.
They already told me I am welcome to come in the summer if I want some hours.....i dont think that will happen any time soon. :cheers:
