Update: My local community garden set up a fermentation station last month and it's packed, lol. Is this a thing now?

My cousin tried to make sauerkraut last year and ended up with a jar of grey mush, so I feel your pain. It's easy to mix up the steps when you're just starting out. That community garden setup sounds like a great way for people to learn together and avoid those mistakes. I'm not surprised it's so busy.

Hold up, this is just canning and pickling with a fancy new name.

Wait what? Canning uses heat to kill everything, fermentation is all about the live cultures doing the work! That's a huge difference in how you do it and how it tastes. You don't even boil anything for most ferments, it's the total opposite.

Admit I ruined a batch of pickles by treating them like jam, so I get the confusion.
