So I tested my sauerkraut on Sunday and it's coming on really nicely, however, the aftertaste got progressively hotter and hotter and there is not a chili in sight. Google revealed that's the lactic acid so I'm going to leave it longer and see.

3 - 5 weeks.For those that have made sauerkraut, how long do you normally leave it to ferment for?
Thanks for the share, going to give that Kimchi recipe a try on that siteI got started by following the advice on the fermented chilli sauce recipe on this site https://nourishedkitchen.com/
My sauerkraut that's on the go was also from her method.
Where does one obtain the wee snorkel and the matching lid in which to insert it? I want to make kimchi.With the warm weather starting up again it's a perfect time to get some fermentation going.
Anyone else got anything bubbling away?

Its been almost a year since I turned out a sourdough loaf, was making them way before any covid craze. Took out the dormant starter (5+ years old) last weekend and by day 2 it was passing the float test.
This is the approach I followed - first time my dough etc looked exactly like the vid.
Missed the smell of fresh bread on the weekend
It really is, used to make almost every weekend too. Then I stopped for the last year. My wife said now that I have conquered beer making she wants sourdough again. Hence the loaf and an old obsession starts again...The BF makes us a loaf every 2nd weekend or so, damn good stuff!
Nice, looks really decent.This actually belongs here as well

I've actually adopted this method for my gluten free bread loaf
Currently I'm doing pie crusts and still getting to burger buns and hotdog rolls.
