Ahna,

I don't know what everyone else does, but I push the contents down under the

liquid when I

first pack it in the jar. Then I leave it totally alone until it's ready to

refridgerate.

I use the recipe from Sandor Katz' book Wild Fermentation. I usually throw in a

few more or less items based on what I have available. It's always an 'in

season' creation and always varies a bit. I have trouble with the heat levels

though, usually it's not hot enough for me!

a few days. I have never tried this before and am looking forward to seeing how

it turns out. I added some garlic scapes to it too! Does any one else make

their own kimchi? If so can you please share recipes?

How2Heroes has some good vidoes on stuff sometimes, and they have one now on

kimchi! A very easy recipe even. Take a gander:
