Kimchi — Day 3


No pictures today. It looks the same.

Another piece of negative data: There's no "puffing" of the Saran wrap.

The reason why I mention this: Most bacterial fermentations (or indeed, fermentations of any kind) produce a gas. So I half-expected to see the Saran wrap straining against the rubber band.

But no dice. I wonder whether this is because the plastic is so loose than the gas is all escaping, or rather that the fermentation hasn't started in earnest yet.

Tune in later tonight for an update (today is technically Day 4).
