I lent out my copy of NT so I can't go look it up now. I do lots of ferments and I've noticed that SF says to cap tightly for 3 days while others say to let it breathe. I'm not sure why they are differing. I always have a ton of ferments going at once though so capping helps to keep things from jumping from one vessel to another. I finally got my husband drinking it so I'm about to make up a few gallons to get us through the winter. Thanks for commenting!

I use Sally Fallon's recipe from Nourishing Traditions. It only takes 3 days and is nicely sweet, tart and fizzy after three days.

Roberta, I did read that book over Christmas and it inspired me to stop shopping at the grocers. Thanks so much for stopping by!

We still have a few in the gardens, and they actually look okay (better than a month ago - they matured too early!). Your recipe sounds delicious. Also - your blog reminds me much of the book "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" - an excellent book. If you haven't read it, it's totally right up your alley! Great blog - I'm new at this and don't know how to keep you in "favorite lists" ... :) But I'll figure it out. I loved your articles.

Sadly, I am about the only one in my family that appreciates beets, so I do not grow very many of them. Enough to satisfying my hunger for them and that is about it.
