I bought a 2.5 gallon pickle crock, sterilized it and put in my portion, and cover
it with a corningware saucet that has been given a ring of soft silicon as a gasket
that i weight down to keep sealed. Nothing special, i suppose you could tupperware
it in the freezer if you really wanted. As soon as I get a summer kitchen made in
the barn for my brewing and cheesemaking and sausagemaking endeeavors, it will get
moved out there. We are planning on actually installing plumbing and heating for
this winter, as we are moving our bedroom back out there again. Last winter was
interesting, it was sort of like being back in the middle ages, no heat [just
heated mattress pad and several wonderfully decadent comforters...] and just enough
electricity for the mattress pad, a tv an alarm clock and a lamp. We just finished
wiring the barn for 100 amp service, and are putting in a propane 'woodstove' to
heat the bedroom.margali
[and before anybody asks, we have roommates, so there are 2 couples in a rather
small house, and the top floor of the barn is mostly finished into a great 15x25
studio/bedroom. I opt for the space rather than proximity to a flushatorium. I can
walk the 40 or so feet to go to the jakes, i did it all last winter!]

to be at an event near me in the future...
