I was fermenting some carrots with a glass weight and it just shattered into the jar. It's like these products are made to fail and make a bigger mess than they prevent. Who else has given up on weights and just uses a cabbage leaf or something?
I got too excited about my fermentation project and put the family kimchi recipe on my blog. Now my mom says I broke trust by sharing something that was only for us. Is it ever right to share private fermentation methods with everyone?
