I swap the meat out between chicken and beef, but I cook once every 8-12 days. The secret is the spicy mayo/teriyaki sauce with homemade fried rice. Oh and that jar of blueberries, that is my first attempt at basic fermentation!

    Thanks for the hopeful reinforcing encouragement. How much pressure is good for natural carbonation? I think I can make my own rudimentary check valve cap but I’m not sure what is a good pressure to maintain.

      Ditto what laughsquirrel said. But if you actually want to naturally carbonate, I’m not sure, but there are lots of recipes out there for naturally carbonated sodas that are pretty good.

      In my experience it is simply necessary to prevent oxygen to get back into you jar, as oxygen is what is needed for mold to develop. In regards to pressure recommendations, I am not of much help, I like to use old preserving jars with a rubber band between jar and lid, that allowes pressure to get out without oxygen getting in.
