Prepare the Brine. In a large measuring cup or jug, combine the fresh water with salt. Mix well to dissolve the salt.
Pack the jar. To your clean jar, add the garlic cloves and beet slices.
Add weight. Apply the fermentation weight (if using), making sure that it sits below the rim of the jar.
Pour brine. Carefully pour enough brine solution to cover the beets.
Add fermentation lid. Apply the fermentation lid to the top of the jar.
Ferment. Ferment the beets for at least 5 days away from direct sunlight. On day 5, taste the beets. If you want them to be tangier and sourer, replace the weight and lid and continue to ferment for a few more days. If you’re happy with the taste, remove the weight, and fermentation lid. Add the optional vinegar, apply a regular lid and place the ferment in the fridge.
