hey folks!
So a couple of my pepper ferment batches did something kinda weird, it's started to smell like a brewery in these two jars. These two batches are mostly Sugar Rush Peach Stripe so I'm thinking the brine wasn't strong enough to slow the fermentation down given the high sugar content of these peppers. It's some pretty strong fermentation going on here - when I open the jars a lot of gas escapes and bubbles up furiously. Smells great (but boozy)!
Debating on draining both batches, giving them a rinse and putting them back into a higher salt concentration brine.
Thoughts?
