Sorry I haven't been very active for a bit, Ive still been lurking, reading and enjoying the forum, in a disconnected manner I guess, lol.
Ive been up to the fermenting thing still, this last year I started using 7 gallon widemouth glass carboys as opposed to the 1 gallon carboys I was using, gotta say, the widemouth makes it so much easier than the bottle neck, from start to finish, its easier. They're glass and when filled, a bit heavy so care is taken when moving, carrying, inspecting. During the spring, summer and fall, I kept them in the garage, but now that winter is upon us here in chilly SoCal they have their own indoor closet where temps don't dip so low.
Most recently are these 2, a verde and a red. The verde is jalapeno and serrano, the red is fresno and ghost. Both use pink Himalayan salt and a starter culture.
I plan on letting the green go for 90 days and the red will be either 60 or 90, it depends on the flavor and ph at the 60 day mark.
