Fermenting Carrots

Tools you will need:

Fermentation Lids (MasonTops Kit available here) 

Fermentation weights, Also MasonTops.

2-4 Jars – you can use any size of wide mouth jar. Beginners use Quart or Pint, Large families may want to ferment in ½ gallon jar.

Salt: non-iodized, real mineral salt 

Filtered water- I love my Berkey Water Filter! If you don’t have a good filter, draw your water out the night before and the chlorine will evaporate overnight.
