I usually make it in the bucket, and I don't transfer it until there is enough liquid to cover it. It takes several hours for the salt to pull enough liquid from the cabbage. At least if you just sprinkle a little salt on each layer. I would think that using more salt would speed up the...

The recipe I use just uses salt and cabbage. I make it in a 2 gallon food grade plastic bucket. Shred 1 head of "head cabbage" (not Bucchu or Nappa Cabbage), and lay a thin layer in the bucket and sprinkle salt over it and repeat until all the cabbage is used up. Keep pounding cabbage down every...

Here is the recipe I'm basing my Mock-Kimchi on.

I started a batch of Sauerkraut, and a batch of Mock-Kimchi today, and I will be doing some Corned Venison soon. I've never done a lactic fermentation with meat before, so I'm looking forward to seeing what the venison turns out like!

Thanks!!

I remember my first time making an old "sourdough" type recipe, which is where I learned that you really SHOULDN'T add commercial yeast to such things.. My S.C.A. group at that time (White Buck Forest) was hosting Walt Wars. My buddy Ollie told me he had a Journey Bread recipe that was older...

From what he says in the video he is just using dirt and water as his electrolyte. However I have no doubt that the mineral salts found in dirt can do the trick.. Of course this might also be the case with your above experiment.. I wonder if anyone had tried doing this experiment in a...
