I tried fermenting food a couple times- but it never really started bubbling. I am going to have to read through the forums again and really get going on it.

I do know for a fact that when I started giving my black Dutch hens fodder, they began to give me eggs. I went from zero eggs a month ago to 3 a day. I am much more focused on giving my birds a bigger variety of food, instead of before thinking layer feed was good enough.

Did you use a solid lid or did it have holes in it.

Okay so NOT chicken related but I'm SUPER excited as I'm going to get an early bday present! There's a place in portland that offers butchery and charcuterie classes every once in a while and they just listed a whole hog charcuterie class and I'm going!!!!!

I can break down a pig no problem but it's been a while since I've cured meats and sausages in the restaurants. I really wanted to get in last year so I could cure a whole pig at slaughter but it didn't happen. I'm comfortable with bits but unwilling to wing potentially wasting a whole pig.

Man! I'm beside myself!!! I'll be able to cure a whole ham for prosciutto!!!!!

lomo, country ham, noix de jambon, pancetta, lardo, coppa, salami.......

Sorry had to share......

food geek rant over!

Did you use distilled acv or acv with mother? It won't work if your vinegar doesn't have the mother.

 

[AyeUpChuck]

If you buy a live active vinegar with mother like Braggs you can use it to start other inactive vinegars. It's a really inexpensive way to have a great deal of live vinegar!
