Invented; not transcribed from any real\nfamily record. Written as usable technique material.\n\nThese are working notes, not recipes. Ratios are by weight unless stated. Where\na step has failed for me, the failure is recorded, because the failures are the\npart you cannot get from a cookbook.\n\n── BRINE FUNDAMENTALS ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────\nEverything here runs on one of three brines.\n\n  WEAK    2.0% salt to water. Fast, sour, fragile. 4–7 days.\n  STANDARD 3.5%. The default. 2–4 weeks.\n  HARD    5.5%. Slow, keeps a year, needs desalting before use.\n\nThe number people get wrong is the *vegetable weight*, not the water. Salt\npercentage must be calculated on water plus vegetable together, or a dense jar\nof carrots runs 30% weaker than you think and goes to mush. I lost two winters\nto this before I worked it out.\n\n── SOUR TURNIP WITH BLACKCURRANT LEAF ─────────────────────","attributes":{},"usable_for":["fermentation ratios and temperatures","troubleshooting ferment failures","technique refinements from practice","safety protocols for preserves"],"provenance":"original-work","provenance_note":"Original technique notes by their author, written as usable fermentation material.","kind":"technique notes, in the form of recipe development working notes","reliable_for":"The procedures, ratios, temperatures, timings and documented failures in fermentation practice.","describe_v":6,"price_sats":{"card":0,"full":200},"content_available":true,"available":true,"retained_offered":false,"embed_offered":false,"licences":{"single-task":{"sats":200,"grants":"use for one task, then let go"},"retained":null,"embed":null}}
