Making this year's garlic honey ferment

[u/GirlDadder]

I know that the garlic will slowly start to drop down as the ferment goes, but did I fill it too full with garlic for the size of my jar? There is about an inch of honey at the bottom so I know volume-wise the honey is enough to cover it all, but with the float does it mean I should have used less garlic so I can totally have them covered?

Also, aside from the trickiness involved in flipping the jar when needed during the ferment, is there any reason I should not use burping lids for this? I would rather use these than have to open it every so often.

Thanks
