1. Add beets, garlic, salt and whey to jar.

2. You can use different kinds of jars, as long as they are glass. I use either of these, but typically the mason jar.

3. Fill with water to the top of the jar, leaving 1" headroom.

4. Stir with a large spoon.

5. Cover with a breathable cotton cloth, so critters can't get in.

6. Let sit in a temperate area for 1-2 days, depending on how warm our house is....if you live in a hot climate it will be ready sooner.

7. That's it! (I bet you thought it was waaaay more complicated, I did!).

8. When it's ready you can ladle it into individual glass containers for grab-and-go kvass, or store in pretty wine bottles as pictured at the top!
