FAA creating pressure in jars

0
0

Hey there,

I made my first batch of FAA (over 5.5 months) this winter. It smells slightly fishy, but in a candied salmon kind of way (not bad). I strained it last week and put it into 1L glass jars with sealers, and I’ve noticed that there has been pressure build up if the jars are sealed tight.

The FAA was somewhat thick when straining.

I have LAB I was considering adding to the jars, but perhaps more brown sugar is the best bet to stop the activity for storage?

Any advice?

 

Thanks!

yes id think more sugar to lock up the water in the FAA would stop the fermentation

    I ended up just letting things ride, keeping the jar sealer lids backed off just a hair from closed. The FAA hasnโ€™t changed in any meaningful way (still creates pressure if the lids are fully tightened), but luckily I have a spot where the jars can sit without risk of being knocked over so all is good. Thanks or your answer!

You still might want to add sugar so you do not end up with alcohol.
