Anyone use this method to ferment? Pros Cons ???

Vac seal instead of jars.

Interesting video but I do not think that vacuum sealing did anything that a jar with a pressure seal would not do. In fact it looked like more work with no benefit.

I have a vacuum sealer and would not waste any of my time trying it.

It's a fairly popular method of fermenting mash on the FB fermented hot sauce group I belong to. I have not tried it because I do not like the lack of brine. I use a fair amount of my brine in the finished sauces and find many uses for what's left over using in soups, other dishes, sub for vinegar in greens and great in spicy salad dressings. Some of the brines are so tasty they are good as a sauce on their own.

My Uncles use to use latex gloves on Carboys when fermenting wine. We use to tape all but the middle fingers down back when we were kids when he was not around.....just to see what he would say...LOL!!!

I'm sure it'll work for hot sauce too, and all you have to do is burp the glove every now and then.
