step 1

step 3
Fill up the jar with carrots, zest of the Lemon (1/2), sage leaves and Filtered Water (to taste). If you are not using a bubbler, airlock, leave a few centimeters from the top clear to avoid the jar leaking while it ferments. However, make sure all carrots are covered with water.

step 4
Weight again the whole container, net of the jar, and add 3% of Iodine-Free Salt (to taste) on the total weight ingredients and water. To dissolve the salt, just take some of the water in the jar, place it a cup and stir the salt in, then pour it back in the jar.

step 5
Close the jar with a sprouting cover. If you are using a standard cover, make sure not to seal it completely, let some air go in. Leave the jar on your counter to ferment for 3-4 weeks. Ideally the perfect temperature would be between 64-71 degrees F (18-22 degrees C). After a few days you should be able to see a few bubble forming on the surface. It is a sign that fermentation has started.
