Result:

29-01-2022, 3 months at RT: Take 2 of the jars, and open.

Pleasant smell and taste, no mould, only little white settlement (yeast?) on the bottom. Drain and sieve the contents with coffee filters, heat up to boiling point in a pot, then leave for 5 min. Boil a glass jar and fill the hot liquid into it. Store in fridge = 3 month sample.

After another 3 months, I strained the liquid again through a coffee filter, since it has a cloudy/floury part that settles on the bottom that doesn’t look so nice.

20-04-2022, 6 months at RT: Harvest all jars.

Pleasant smell, no mould but some liquid has pushed through the screwed-on lids (needs to be incubated in a tub, and not hermetically sealed!). Quite a lot of white, yeast-y looking settlement in the jars.

Drain and sieve contents, heat up to boiling point, then fill into jars. The 3 months samples have actually accumulated quite a lot of white settlement, so combine with the 6 months samples.
