Anyone here into fermentation?

I have done a few pepper ferments for hou sauce and made a few batches of kimchi. Would really like to get more into it. I have watched a few videos on vaccum bag fermentation which is interesting and seems super easy . Any tips on what types of jars to use etc?

I really like these lids. I use them on wide-mouth mason jars.
I've tried the vacuum bags. It works just fine, but I still like the jars. Just personal preference. Easier for me to stack in the cabinets.

Did it in college for food science courses. Sauerkraut, yogurt, beer. Always been interested in doing more, but quite frankly, there’s really no fermented food I can think of that I would want to make and eat.

I too like jars better than bags. I love playing around with fermentation. Kimchi being my favorite but I've made sauerkraut, kombucha. miso and notto. All great but you need to know your intestinal fortitude

Black garlic is good on steaks.

You have a good kimchi recipe?

I’m curious as to why you guys prefer jars to the bags.

love fermented too, I used to make what I considered 3rd rate kimchi, Costco's is so good I don't bother to make my own. A few bites of fermented food a day is great for keeping the good bugs in your gut.

If you want to jump into the deep end of fermentation, you need to check out Sandor Katz's excellent books. His The Art of Fermentation is a mini encyclopedia of fermented stuff from around the world, with clear instructions. LInk to his website: LINK
I've done some naturally fermented sodas (ginger bug) and pickling....but it's not a regular part of my kitchen schtick. Unless you count sourdough bread...

This is the book that got me started. I highly recommend it, too. I enjoy his hypothesis about the evolution of mammals and fermentation and that we never really "discovered" fermentation as much as we co-evolved with it.
