Crash Course in Fermentation:
Fermentools uses food grade 304 stainless steel lids that are speically designed to work with glass wide-mouthed Mason jars. Our method, along with all other methods, has one main purpose: to keep the food submerged in the brine and unexposed to air.
When your product is submerged under a brine (or salt water solution) and away from air, an anaerobic environment is created. This environment is necessary for lacto-fermentation to occur, which creates your pro-biotic rich preserved product. Fermentools uses airlocks to keep the oxygen and external air away from the submerged food trapping in carbon dioxide and lactic acid. The more carbon dioxide that is produced, the more air that is pushed out and kept out of the container via the airlock.
[…] Even though restrictions are starting to lift in various places around the country, it looks like social distancing is going to be the norm for a while. I don’t know about you, but our summer plans have been turned upside down! The more home-based projects the better. Fermentools offers very reasonable prices on their products. Fermenting is a helpful step towards healthy guts! Read more from Fermentools on why you should ferment! […]
