First time fermenting the currant seeds. Teeniest things I ever saw. Four days and the whole batch had sprouted. Have to redo some now. Glad I didn't eat all of them.

I don't know how you processed you currant fruits, but all I ever did was to squish the individual berries, yes, very time consuming, and add a wee amount of water and the skins would burst liberating all the seeds, more seeds than you'd ever want from a currant variety.

How many squished ones did I put in my pint containers I don't know, just kept doing it and at first they float, looking just like someone would see if bobbing for apples.
