Excellent use of celery as a weight. I hadn't thought of that. I recently dug through an old 50/50 mix I had laying around not being eaten and grabbed all the spinach leaves out of it to use as a barrier. I used Brussels as the cabbage base for my saurkraut, with Granny Smiths, carrot, red onion, radish, ginger and garlic to make the kraut.

Hello thank you so much for showing the bluegreen garlic. I had that happen to me when I was fermenting garlic and didn't know if they had gone bad or if that was just a normal process, so I dumped the whole pint jar of garlic away because I didnt want to eat something bad.

Hello Robert💯🤑💯🤑😇🤑. Sorry for intruding your privacy profile how are you feeling today if I may ask you dear it's really nice to see you on here am new to here are you in this fan 😁
I've been fermenting garlic as well. I had one batch go bad because I didn't keep the jar sealed, but it's mostly been successful. It does take a long time before it's edible though, I would say at least 6 weeks. It has a very unusual taste, but it is amazingly good for you.
The blue green is actually a result of the sulfur reacting with the copper content of the water used creating the blue green affect. If you use filtered water, as you should in all fermentation, this is not likely to occur or is less likely to occur. Although as you said, it is still perfectly edible.
If you seperate the cloves from the garlic heads you can place the cloves in a jar with a lid quarter to half way full...close jar with lid then shake vigorously and dump conents into a bowl and most of the garlic cloves should be seperated from their skins.
It is less of a concern but it doesn't hurt. I have found after fermentation the garlic sinks, so it naturally stays under. If the brine evaporated or spilled I would top off with salt water.
To hold that garlic down or any other veg. Use a sandwich bag with a zip seal. Stuff it into the jar fill with your brine left over. The weight of the water will hold down the Veg.
In addition , the compounds in garlic react to minerals in tap water which in turn can cause your garlic to have a blue / green color . Perfectly harmless . Always do your research first before consuming foods that your are not familiar with . I hope this was helpful .
@@UnaNeary , hi there , you may want to try different -- small bottles -- of store bought filtered or distilled water to see if that helps . I have a ZERO WATER filter pitcher but I have never experimented storing raw garlic in the filtered water . Great product to have !! $ 15-$20 at Walmart . What I have been doing is buying a jar of chopped garlic /w -citric acid and refilling it when needed with fresh chopped garlic . The water / liquid in the store bought jar works great to stop any weird green stuff to happen . I hope this is helpful .
I came across a licensed doctor/practitioner on RUclips and he and his wife do many public presentations about health, probiotics, and fermented foods that he brought for the crowd to try. He explained and made sauerkraut from start to finish and how it should be stored. He mentioned the fridge temperature at 37 F is enough to kill them.
@C Garvin Just be aware that you'll end up with micro-plastic in your end result. If you're okay with eating plastic, rock on. But most people already eat too much plastic and don't want to voluntarily add plastic to their diet.
ma'm, do I need to wash my garlic cloves after taking these? Is there any problem in the fermentation process if washed? And do the jars need to be sterilized? thank you.
Hello Katie, Juan here with a question, I put some cloves in vinegar salt water, some black peper oregano, and dill small amounts, but after 4 days I see many of them green, Are they eatable, or they spoiled and no good to eat them. please , if you don't mind and can help before I get sick. thanks a lot. good day
honey and garlic preserved - don't use metal to remove garlic skins, use tooth pick to pierce the garlic cloves, the older it gets, the darker the honey, useful for sore throats, stir fry using both garlic and honey liquid. Keep in a dark place for about 3-4 weeks, longer if you want honey to become more garlicky tasting - does not need refrigeration unless you're in a very hot climate. Place required garlic cloves in preserving jar, add honey (I like using leatherwood honey because it's not as sweet, has a distinctive taste that people either love or hate), seal and place in a dark cupboard for at least 3-4 weeks, agitating it once a day to get flavours mixed in.
Did one and it was super warm that summer, it started to turn this bluish green/grey soon after i put itin the fridge....I kinda freaked out thinking it was Bad, turns out it was okay though lol (just means it's way way fridge time)
Hi, is there any impact to the taste of the Garlic after fermenting? I liked the video a lot but then you suggested eating the celery 😩 yuk!, celery is the devils food you mad woman 😋.
Very interesting video; I also purchased a big bag of peeled garlic and have been looking for something to do with it, aside from freezing it. Do you have to top up the brine when it evaporates enough to expose the tops of the celery spears, after it's refrigerated? How long, generally, would you say that the garlic will be good to eat/keep without spoiling?
You can and should top it off if things are not submerged but I don't see much evaporation. I keep a lid on. I have some almost a year old and still perfect.
Hello Carl🙋🌞🙋😇💯💯🤑. Sorry for intruding your privacy profile how are you feeling today if I may ask you dear it's really nice to see you on here am new to here are you in this fan 😁
Do you have to burp this at all or leave the top on the whole time? I've seen with the honey garlic ferment you do have to burp, but have not been able to find an answer with making alcohol tinctures? Thanks!
Shouldnt garlic have a bit less "bite" after fermenting? Mine still tastes VERY strong after 13 days. No mold, stayed submerged. Also, thanks for your mashed potato/garlic tip. Worked great!!
I tried this. I fermented it for a few weeks. Then I put it in my frig. today, which is about a month later, I look at it and the garlic turned blue. Very odd.
Have you tried using white distilled vinegar? If so, is the process the same as far as time? Also, have you put your cloves into olive oil after the fermenting period? How long were you able to store it?
Very Great Demonstration Young Lady, especially of how to keep it submerged. But what about that one clove that got exposed to the air? wouldn't it be contaminated by the bad bacteria? You said you would either push it back down or use it.? I would think you would need to throw it out.? ??
If its fermenting right and she purges the jar correctly then the CO2 (those air bubbles you see) released during the fermentation will replace the air at the top and no bad bacteria can grow.
Hi could anyone suggest me ,I use this technique to fermented the garlic but there was some black fungi layer come up on the top of my jar Should I remove that and use my fermented garlic or that is not good to eat
Can you re-use the brine to make another batch, with either homemade or store bought brine? I have tried and failed multiple times to make homemade kraut and pickles. I buy Bubbies brand pickles which have the probiotic cultures. Could I use that to make a homemade batch? And if I can somehow manage a completely homemade successful brine, could I reuse that one? Thanks!
There are different opinions about this. I wouldn't reuse brine entirely but adding a splash of active brine to fresh salt water may give you a jump start. You can use the brine in other recipes like marinades and salad dressings.
@Wingnutairhead I use a rock, too. I bring the jar or a penciled outline of the jar's opening and find a rock that is about the same size. Then I explain to the rock why I am taking it away, and how long we will be gone. When the fermentation is done, I bring the rock back, and I tell the other rocks to believe their friend if their friend decides to share where s/he has been for the past few weeks.
Bail top jars self burp but there are a few days where the fermentation really ramps up where I do burp. Not really to prevent explosion but just to monitor progress. It's not required but helps understand the process.
Maybe using grams for water was meant so imperial people would find it easier to understand. But here is a quick explanation. Water is the center of the world when it comes to grams and litters. A litter of water is exactly one thousand grams or, better yet, a kilogram (kg). So, when some recipe tells you to use X amount of water, remember that weight (grams) and volume (litters) is interchangeable 🙂
My cabbage leave is sticking out a little, is that a problem? The cabbage leave is holding down the garlic and the bubbles are starting to come up after one day.
You do not have to peel it before it's fermented. I have 2 jars which both have the peels on. Some of them are loose cloves, some of them are full heads.
If you buy good garlic not the chinese from a farmer is the best. I buy about 5 pounds dried heads and ready to eat. keep them in a onion type bag so it gets good air flow in a dark cool place. I buy mine in September and it is still good at the end of june next year.
Haha I got the same type of bag of garlic from Costco too, unfortunately after spending over and hour peeling the garlic, half of what I peeled was no good to use to ferment! So I made a pint of garlic with one tsp of salt. I plan on buying the already peeled bag of garlic next time! Oh and I burp my jar so it doesn’t explode !
Thank you great How To. This has been a while so I hope if not you someone else can answer this. Once it has gone through the fermenting stage and going into the fridge can you remove the celery? Simply can you now allow the garlic to float to the top? Thank you.
Everything needs to be submerged at all times but after a while the garlic don't float any more and then, as long as you have enough brine you can remove the celery.
I have jars and jars and more jars. I saw a video a few years back when I thought about starting fermentation. It said to fill a bag with with saline and weigh down the veggies with the bag of brine. Then if you need more before the process is finished just take it out of the bag. I can't afford fancy jars or lids or any of that stuff that my grandma never used.
![Noob To Max With DRAGON REWORK In Blox Fruits [FULL MOVIE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LnBMOinoOvA/mqdefault.jpg)
Usually I use olive oil (any oil actually) at the top of the jar to avoid the garlic be in contact with the air. It works quite well also.
That is a great suggestion. Had not thought of this-but makes perfect sense. Thanks.

Great idea using celery sticks for weight- not everyone has these weighing glass stones- my mom always used some rocks for the sauerkraut. Thanks.

Hello Robert💯🤑💯🤑😇🤑. Sorry for intruding your privacy profile how are you feeling today if I may ask you dear it's really nice to see you on here am new to here are you in this fan 😁
Good video. I would like to have the measurements in cups/tbsp along with the grams for those of us who don't have a scale.
Many types of salt can have different weights when measured out by volume. It's best to go by weight or your percentages could be off.
I’ve found a good brine mixture for anything is 2 quarts of water, to 3 tablespoons of salt
@@johnny_flixx4598 Thank you!
I do a 2% salt brine: 1 liter of water, 20 grams of salt. Works fine up to now for the carrots I did
I've been fermenting garlic as well. I had one batch go bad because I didn't keep the jar sealed, but it's mostly been successful. It does take a long time before it's edible though, I would say at least 6 weeks. It has a very unusual taste, but it is amazingly good for you.
Never would have thought to ferment garlic to preserve it...yum!
Eat Pray Crunch , I wrap the whole heads in plastic zipper bags and stick them in the freezer when I am too busy to pickle them, it works
Oh man, that's a great idea!
The blue green is actually a result of the sulfur reacting with the copper content of the water used creating the blue green affect. If you use filtered water, as you should in all fermentation, this is not likely to occur or is less likely to occur. Although as you said, it is still perfectly edible.
It was more than helpful, I made this and loved it. I'm making another and adding cucumbers this time. Thanks!
To keep everything under the water you can use a plastic bag with water covering it
That's what I do and it works out great
If you seperate the cloves from the garlic heads you can place the cloves in a jar with a lid quarter to half way full...close jar with lid then shake vigorously and dump conents into a bowl and most of the garlic cloves should be seperated from their skins.
QUESTION will be my first time preparing garlic this way do I need to keep the garlic submerged during the Refrigeration period?
It is less of a concern but it doesn't hurt. I have found after fermentation the garlic sinks, so it naturally stays under. If the brine evaporated or spilled I would top off with salt water.
@@KatieCooksandCrafts thanks for the information love your video
“Celery raft”... Love that!! 😊
looks lovely,,,that celery in a soup would be awesome
Flo--- thought the same--- my homemade chicken soup --perfect OR in the crock pot with roast beef... ((or any other meat of ur choice))
or put the skin on pieces into the bone broth as it cooks, just like onions with skins on.
Excellent
Garlic fermented in raw honey is awesome. Bananas are fermenting within twelve hours, two days and they are over done. Raspberries are next!!!
YOU ARE GREAT AND CLEAR!!!!! THANKS
Inuse the wee garlic pieces in my homemade bread. I just toss the whole peeled clove in the dough as it am mixing it up 😁
To hold that garlic down or any other veg. Use a sandwich bag with a zip seal. Stuff it into the jar fill with your brine left over. The weight of the water will hold down the Veg.
