FAQs:
"How long do I ferment?" - I recommend 21-30 days to complete the full life cycle of the bacteria.

"Do I strain the juice or keep the pulp?" - I typically strain the juice and drink it.

"How much juice should I drink per day?" - I usually consume about 2 oz of anaerobically fermented sauerkraut/carrot juice per day, but ... I am not a doctor, nor do I pretend to play one on the internet.

"Can you use a probiotic supplement instead of culture starter?" - probably depends on what bacterial strains are in the product and whether there are a lot of additives or not. Commercial probiotics typically do not have spore forms, so they cannot reproduce through the same means as native bacteria found in the air, etc. I'd just use salt and water. It will still work as long as it is clean and the temperature is right.

"Please tell me what insures that you are not creating botulism,which grows in an airless environment. Does salt prevent the spores from growing?" - my understanding is that this is prevented by competitive inhibition. The botulism toxins are crowded out by the sheer numbers of lactic acid bacteria. There is always a risk, however it is infinitesimally small. http://www.pickl-it.com/blog/342/what-about-botulism/

*Disclaimer: Although very small, there is always a small risk of microbial contamination in fermented products. Use common sense and keep things clean and "when in doubt, throw it out." I am not responsible for any harm that may come from the production or consumption of fermented products such as those shown in this video.
