It isn't sensible to keep them that long in the fridge unless you have them in an acidic medium, lactic acid prefered, as otherwise you are inviting bacteria buildup. You are better off freezing them, double or triple bagging them unless you have freezer grade bags and containers.

How does one find lactic acid? Citric acid, vinager, etc are all things I'm familar with on the grocery shelf. Lactic acid isn't one of them.

Lactofermentation is achieved by using products like natural whey, not the dried whey in powder, but the actual active whey in yogurt. It is trivial to obtain, just buy the highest quality yogurt you can which is *active* (it will say on it somewhere), dump it out into a cheesecloth and let it drain into a bowl or jar. With decent yogurt you will get about half whey and half cottage cheese. You then use this to tenderize meats, make lactofermented vegetables (sourkraut), breads and grain products etc. . You use about 1 tbls of whey to 1 cup of water.
