Welcome to the Tuesday Twister Blog Carnival! The theme of this blog carnival is to share, through words and pictures, what’s twisting in our kitchens during the past week – with real foods, of course. At a minimum our foods should be real and whole, and optionally be naturally-raised, organic, local and/or seasonal. I cannot wait to see what’s been twisting in your kitchens!

Lacto Fermenting in a Water Bath for Even Temperature
I started lacto-fermenting for the first time this year & didn’t really put two & two together about the seasonality of such an enterprise. (Just a newbie!). So it hit me this fall that I our house gets COLD – not so easy to lacto-ferment. In the winter we keep it at 55 degrees a lot of the time, but certainly no higher than 65. What to do?
My husband is an amatuer photographer & he has a water bath for developing film – that you can keep to an even temperature. So I used it for lacto-fermenting!! And it worked well. I put the mason jars in & kept the temp about 74 degrees. It barely took any power and was safe to leave unattended. (I could probably fit in 6-8 quart jars at a time).
I imagine I could have tried lacto-fermenting at 65 degrees, but I didn’t think 55 would work.
Next year, hopefully we can figure out some long-term storage so I can do more during the summer (and by then some other items taking time may be reduced – so I’d have more time to spend preserving food).
Jessie – That is awesome! Very creative! Thanks for sharing it in this week’s Tuesday Twister.
