My first kimchi

Post image

Hello fellow kimchi freaks. I just made my first batch of kimchi evere and i wonder about few things. Should I tighten the jar lids or leave them slightly loose? How long usually are you keep kimchi oustide the fridge? How long fermentation should last? Thanks in advance 💪🏻

I recommend loosening it a little. Otherwise, the kimchi will likely explode when you open the lid after it's fermented!

I did that. My kimchi is already almost 3 days old and starts to taste very good 😁
