Re: Thoughts and a question on Super tonic

[Guest guest]

Hi Suzi and ,

Well, what done is done. I had mixed the stuff together as I went, Suzi,

so I couldn't just freeze the horseradish. And, as to making less, I

really had no concept as to how much I was making before I started.

Luckily, I remembered my six quart crockpot removable glass crock. I

wouldn't say that the vinegar is an inch over the veggies, but at least

they are covered. Tomorrow, I'm going to get a little more ginger. Then

I'll mix it altogether, and transfer the stuff into a couple of gallon

jars. It should be all good.

Now here's my question. Haven't I read in the past something about if

any water gets into this the whole thing could mold? I only thought of

this after washing the vegetables and chopping them up, probably with

some moisture still on them, and putting all the stuff together. Is this

whole batch doomed because of the washing of the veggies?

Should I check for mold? and if so, how often, and where should I look

for it? On the top?

Wold refrigerating it at some point be a good idea?

Thanks much,

TerriLynne

Don't get frustrated.. this is not science... Freeze some of your

horseradish....

I just chop it all up in chunks and throw it in the blender... Fill the

vinegar up about 2-3 inches or so over the top.. blend away...

Sounds like you are doing just fine!! A bit more or less of an

ingredient will not mean the end of the world. As for the vinegar, just

put in enough

to cover the mash/mixture with an inch or so over the mash. You sound

like you are making a lot! We usually make only a half gallon or so at a

time. Hang

in there!! Don't let your frustration get the best of you. You are

trying something new, so it is natural to feel a little intimidated. I

still do, and

I've been making it for a while now. Just keep the goal in mind. BETTER

HEALTH!! And any questions or comments, frustrations or just plain need

to talk,

we are here! You can do it, and it will be GREAT!!

Peace, love, laughter

Hi TerriLynne,The vinegar will keep it all from going moldy. Besides, vinegar is only acetic acid watered down with.....water. So don't worry, be happy! It will all be okay and good. No need to check for mold. I would suggest getting more vinegar and adding, if you have the room, and not worry to much about the ginger. Refrigeration doesn't hurt but is not a necessity.-- Terri,

Don't refrigerate till after it is done and strained if you're going to .. I keep mine both ways... I put some in the frig for taking... I like it cold, but as Don said too, either is fine. And I agree, add some more acv.

Terri,

Sounds like it is going to be great! I haven't heard about avoiding water because of mold. It seems as if there is quite a bit of water in it already, naturally, from the veggies and such. Keeping it in the fridge is not a bad idea. That's what we do with ours. You're doing good, keep it up!!

Peace, love, laughter
