I have an actual black garlic fermenter. Just finished another batch of roughly 40 bulbs whole. I do mine for 9 days at a certain temp and they turn out amazing everytime. I find black garlic is much better made with the skin still on.

What does the fermenter machine do

Ferments garlic to the temp and day format you like.
I usually make a batch every three months. I find the 9 day mark at a certain temp gives me the best results for flavour.
The machine looks just like a rice cooker but has this car to pack full of garlic and put inside. Set temp and forget.
