fermenting First Ferment

[Deschet]

So... got some silicon waterless lids. Seem nice enough. Chopped up a bunch of Jonahs Yellow Brain Strain, Fataliis, Datils and Chocolate Bhutlah peppers, a few teaspoons of salt and a little over a cup of water.

This is after a few days. Water is cloudy on the bottom.

Any thoughts? Am I gonna die?

Cloudiness is just yeast/lacto sediment. I usually get a decent amount as well. It'll eventually settle to the bottom and create a nice cake. For the first few weeks I'd periodically turn the jar upside down to resuspend the formed yeast cake. You probably won't want to include that in your final sauce; just pour carefully to reduce disturbance in the cake.

So far, no yeast. I have a jar with a pump to pump out oxygen. Theoretically, as its wildly burping now, there should be little to no oxygen in there.

So far, no death has occurred.

I was planning to go 3 weeks with my cayennes, but after 12 days the activity settled down and I was impatient so I processed them. Delicious.

From now on though I will do less vinegar and then add to taste. I feel like mine is too much vinegar.

It's very good. Takes like Frank's but hotter.
