You can call it Anak Krakaktau this is Indonesian for child of Krakatoa or Krakatau.

I changed the spelling of Krockatoa to Krokatoa and left out the c.:).
The stencil messed up so I just hand painted it.

I love it, Anak it shall be! Keep us updated on how it turns out. Will patiently await results and my fermenting kit.

I don't know why I didn't think of this before. :lol:
Homemade Air lock.
The bottle lid has tiny holes in it.

Good thinking! In the beer making world we use something similar referred to as a "blow off tube" when fermentation is too violent for a small airlock.

I got the idea when sdamber/Sue posted the link to the fermenting kits.
For some reason I wasn't putting 2 and 2 together and then it dawned on me.:lol:

It took more time to find the tubing I walked by 5 times that it did to make the silly thing.
And yes it is working wonderfully and putting out a bubble about every 15 minutes.
It should start speeding up soon.
I wont get into the details but I am only about two steps away from manufacturing and collecting methane gas.
Lets just hope the carrots aren't making methane or H2s gas.:lol:

Would someone please talk me out of getting another quart jar and enough Fresno peppers to ferment. :no:

Worth

Well I'm disappointed no help from you guys.:))
Here are the peppers started today.
I have pile of these pretty little blue glass gin bottles I have saved for years.

USGS is now reporting that Krokatoa is burping at a steady rate of every 30 seconds or less.:shock:
This has more than doubled since yesterday.

Nice peppers!
Holding off on ordering my kit, going to try that method first. Going to get some tubing.

Be forewarned I used a drill press at slow speed to drill the holes.
A hand drill may not get the same results.
To drill the holes I had the lids on the bottles and jars so I could hold them.

Not the same jars the food was in.:lol:

Thanks for the grand idea Mr. Inventor Worth, it's a wonderful contraption! Must try something similar myself now. Do get another jar and make more peppers! more more peppers!

Although I really love marinated hot peppers..... sweet and hot.... oops, said marinated
