In a large bowl, mix together the carrots, ginger, orange zest, honey, salt, and Whey.
Mash or pound the ingredients together to release their
natural juices.
Place the ingredients in a quart-size jar and push down to make sure the juices cover the carrots and ginger, using the smaller jar filled with water or brine as a weight if needed. Leave about 2 inches of room at the top of the jar (this is important to avoid juicy runover!).
Cover with cheesecloth, secure with a string and let ferment at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, for 3 days.
Transfer to the refrigerator and store for up to several months.
