Thought I'd share my tale of woe.

It's really expensive at the store. Why should rotten cabbage cost so much?

I made some kimchi a while back and it was great.....a bit too spicy for my wife though. I do have a temp controlled refridge for my homebrew. So I was able to keep it at 68 degrees.

Did you use fish sauce or seaweed?

It was cheap and Trader Joes and all of a sudden they stopped selling it. Pissed because I used to get at least a bag or two every trip there

It is an very involved process. Just go to the best Korean restaurant you can find in your area.

I love the kimchee eggrolls at Little Korea.

I just picked up a Korean tenant. I'm begging the wife to give me the secrets to kimchee.

I'll be happy to share with the board if I'm successful.

I'm willing to let it go and not make it myself.

Smells exactly like garbage to me. I can't get over it. The taste isn't horrible; the smell is something god awful. Had it at Little Korea. How the hell do 100 million Korean's like it I'll never know.

That's because it's supposed to buried in the ground and left for weeks. Not for me.

Proper salt ratio, minimizing oxygen, and temperature control are all critical elements. I've made several batches. It's always been plain kimchi, which was basically chopped up cabbage and gochujang.
