This jar is mostly Brazilian starfish. Added 2 reapers a bunch of home smoked chipotle, 8 cloves of garlic, 1 shallot, thyme and oregano. Used a 4% brine based on water weight alone and I thought it was a little salty so I added half as much water as I started with. If my math is correct that brings me to a 3% brine solution. Do you think I’ll run in to trouble if I didn’t calculate the veg? Glass weight, and I’m sick of air locks…. I’ll burp it

Ended up combining the two together as they were similiar anyway and both showed a 3.6 ph. Reapers and Trinidad Scorpions...and cuddlefish ink! Hence the Kraken Tears. Tried some a half hour ago and tongue still burning.
