TBH that does not sound very nice at all.
Ja I'm not too sure what to expect.
Will see in a few days...

Starting with a second batch this afternoon, with some leeks, onions, carrots and asparagus
Curious to see how the asparagus comes out - never tried it.
(eish finger smells like eggyolk...)

Try these as well
Hmmm that reminds me I wanted to go there to see if they had the small pickling cucumbers. If I can do crisp fermented cucumbers

Made another 3 bottles today. Rhubarb, Turnips mixed with Brussels sprouts
What I have found is to press the bottles down every day to keep things down and under the brine

Pack it down tight with large cabbage leaves or something and fill with liquid past the cabbage leaves - means you're not continuously introducing stuff into the mix when pressing down every day. Or fill a little bag with water and leave it on top. Or a flat stone or something.

Tried, need to get something else to do so.
One bottle I left from Friday and some salt build up happened.
I am going to try something similar to coffee plungers

Tasted it yet?
Had it today grated over food. Has a flavor that reminds me a bit of nutritional yeast if you've ever had it. Was far less weird than I was expecting it to be,

Might try it then

just egg yellow in salt?
Yup. I separated the white.
Made a little indentation in the salt.
Put the yolk in.
Covered with salt & put in fridge for a week.
Removed from salt & dusted off and tied in cheesecloth etc. in front of a fan for a day or two. Can probably go for longer but I wanted to eat it today.
