Hi Sly
Here is how they did it where Deb worked
SALTED OLIVES
-pick/wash/dry as best as you can.Be very careful not to bruise olives when picking.
-you need a drum with a tap at the bottom(ie homebrew beer tub)
-put a 1" layer of salt(chunky style,NOT fine or table salt)
-put a 2" layer of olives
-continue till drum is full
-seal drum
-drain drum as liquid forms,(check every 2 weeks) tilt drums to get all liquid out each time.
-taste test after 6 months,may need up to 12 months.
-when ready sieve in collander to remove most salt,store in zip tie bags.
If you want to talk to Deb about olive stuff send a PM,will give you her mobile number.

Hey Sly
Deb just read all the earlier posts.
With your brine olives,DO NOT add garlic or chillis in the brine process.The reason is they ferment in the brew and spoil,can even be toxic.The trick is brine the olives first then garlic/chilli later in small batches.
