is that an unsealed container? all of the alcohol is going to turn into vinegar….
There is a lid in this photo, but I've opted to keep the container open for the first few days to encourage wild yeasts to settle in. Once the fermentation starts picking up I'll transfer to another container. I'm following Sandor Katz's fast and loose recipe from The Art of Fermentation...I expect to learn valuable lessons or reap unexpected rewards. Or maybe both.
i think that’s normally done in the woods… don’t know about wild basement yeast…
...or wild kitchen yeast or whatever.
