Easiest Way to Make Fermented Vegetables without Mold

He said the calculation was 200 times .03.  Anyone else see how this is wrong or am I missing something.   200 times .03 would be 6 grams not 60...right?
That's going to be one big crock of mighty salty ferment..yuck

Do you mean a 2L container? That is larger than a 200ML measuring jug! 

2,000 mL is 2liters.  I can tell he is using the same size glass container I have.
Now I understand .  In my cabinet I found that same large glass container that was being used in the video.  It is 2 liters or 2,000 mL.   So 2,000 times .03 or 3percent would be 60 gram,s as John Kohler was describing.  He simply was saying 200 by mistake.

+Andy Mahoney 2L is ten times bigger. John had to be using a 2L container if you do the math: .03% solution = 60 grams in 2L, not 200ML. Also, note the size visually.

+Don Duncan 16:22 he clearly says 2ML of water. Maybe visuals deceive.

+gorgeousmike What's your point? John misspoke (he called 2L, 2ml). Andy questioned. I explained. Also, the visual clearly shows a 2L, not 2ml. So two clues point to a mistake.

+Andy Mahoney He said 10 liter. That is enough room for all contents.
It also says 10 liter in the written description.

Yes, 10 liter total capacity for the entire crock.  The veggies displaced some of the space.  All he was doing was continuing to add a 3% solution of salt water till it was full.
