Step 5: Put water and salt in your pat and bring to a boil on the stove top. You are done when all of the salt has dissolved.

Step 6:
Ladle brine on top of the beans.
Once beans are covered place a weight on top of the beans to make sure they stay below the surface of the brine. We get our weights from Mason Tops fermentation kits.
Place a cloth or fermentation lid on top of your jar and let it sit for 5 days.
