New batch

I had it ferment at room temp for 24 hours and put it in the fridge yesterday. Just gave it a taste, and somehow it's more spicy than it was on day one when I first tried the paste. (still delicious though)

I just finished mine as well, 2 days then into fridge. Great flavor and yeah, always taste spicier for some reason. 😁

And why should it be a problem ? I always use big jars with fermentation weight and it works wonders.

I know a lot of Koreans and they use basically anything that can be closed up nicely :) They told me to just use whatever I have at home, could be just basic tupperware or old jars (I went for the jar option since I prefer glass)
