I think we need one of these, and save up all the fermentation wisdom in one place
So, here's my question: you know how nourishing traditions always says to put some whey , like a Tbsp or two, and if not, add another Tbsp of salt. I don't like my ferments too salty though!
I make half-salt pickles and they are wonderful! Although a little fragile. For most recipes adding another whole Tbsp of salt DOUBLES the salt for the ferment, that's a lot. What dairy-free spike can we use?
Raw ACV? non-dairy kefir?
