Garlic dill pickles and sauerkraut.
Would do more but don't have a cellar.

I've been making kefir and yogurt and want to start fermenting a few other things.

I started a similar thread here

if you buy grocery veggies like carrots and cabbage... do you wash them? just rinse them in water? with all the foodborne listeria cases if you washed the vegs in soapy water and rinsed, wouldn't this kill the lacto bacillus normally found on them that makes things ferment?

do you need whey? or just brine?
