I just had a lacto-fermented sauce recently. The guy at the shop tried to explain it to me but i didn’t really get it. He just said they put stuff in a bag, wait awhile, and then turn it over. Would you like to share what it is and how it’s made?
I started with Joshua Weissman’s recipe on YouTube and then went from there, mixing different fruits and veggies and adjusting the brine.
Basically, the bad bacteria doesn’t like salt and the healthy bacteria does. So dump your peppers and whatever else for flavor in a brine, let it hang out for a while, add some garlic and vinegar and any secondary adds then blend the shit out of and enjoy. It gets even better as it ages in my fridge for a couple months. I made one with habanero, carrot, and mango that was delicious.
You want everything submerged so it doesn’t mold. Ferment it in a jar that is covered but not sealed.

I play the violin and harmonica.
I brew beer, been at it a while to where I’m getting a lot more creative and wandering far off from recipes.
Lacto-fermented hot sauces too, I don’t stick to a recipe, just ratio guidelines to make sure it ferments as desired.
