What is a good product to use to prevent mold from growing on top of your pickle solution and will it effect the PH level.

this is something new to me as i have used the same batch of pickle for over a year now (just re-adjust PH and saline as needed) and have never had mold grow. of course i ensure it gets stirred once a day...would have to know what kind of pickle your using..try e-mailing bruce Rittel im sure hes got a solution

I have a batch of pickle, formic/oxalic its been in the same barrel. Has been since 1998, has skins in it they too have been in it since then.
No mold yet, the pH is 2.5.
Spores that grow mold are air-borne. If you dont stir your solution - they grow - rapidly! To keep it from happening - stir that pickle!
for the input i beleve thats my problem i dont stir it when it's empty and that's when it grows
you have to use fungucide in your pickling bath to stop the mold activation. ý advise you to use in the bath %0,2-0,3 fungucide. and be careful when using it becouse these agents are so dangerous.
there are many trade chemicals to use for example: garmin KFT(cognis)
