Visited a small farm in Vermont and saw their lacto-fermented hot sauce setup - they use old pickle jars with airlocks drilled into the lids | Fermentation Station - nhfree.com
Oh man, this is way too real. My kitchen cabinet looks like a museum exhibit of every pickle brand known to man. Got a stack of Classico sauce jars too because they're perfect for storing loose screws and my leftover paint stir sticks. Honestly feels wrong to toss them, like you're disrespecting the pickles that got you through that one sad Tuesday. My wife keeps asking why we need seventeen jars, and I just tell her it's insurance.
