You'll some kind of culture to inoculate this. You can use pickle juice or sauerkraut juice or something else that you've fermented. You can even use a small amount of whey strained out of some fresh yogurt.

  1. I love all of your various videos. You have information that I have been wanting and they are so much simpler than so many. However, I have been looking for the recipes for the salad dressings and have been unable to find them. I had hoped that I could print the recipes.

    • Hi Carole R Finch – if you open this link using Google Chrome, you can Right Click and select Print – it will then give you the option to print or save – if you save it gets saved in a PDF format. I do this with a lot of things I want to print – you can chose to have background images or not, and you can customise the page margins – eg, if the ingredients are split over 2 pages I will alter the margins so that it’s a more sensible page break.

      hope this helps 🙂
