The problem is, it will NOT ferment! Any advice on how to kickstart the process?</p> <p>Some factors that might have messed up my batch:<br /> 1) I might have been too vigorous about rinsing out the salt from the kimchi. It's a touch bland<br /> 2) I used regular wheat flour and not rice flour<br /> 3) The kimchi brine (?) in the kimchi containers are not red and opaque-red, but kind of translucent-brown.</p> <p>Thanks lots in advance! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/fermentation-vs-fresh-kimchi#post-4554 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 02:20:03 +0000 mchen82 4554@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi Maangchi,</p> <p>I made the pickled radish kimchi and normally like the taste of fresh kimchi instead of the fermented kind that tastes sour. If I put the kimchi directly in the refrigerator after I make it, how long will it last. Do I have to ferment?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/hi-from-south-africa#post-1427 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 06:54:43 +0000 Cornelius 1427@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ <p>Hi all, I found Maangchi, because I am into fermentation and I saw her video on Kimchi. Well it was wonderful and by now my kitchen is full of things fermenting. I make Kombucha, Kefir, Beet Kvass, some of my own cheese and try and grow my own veg as far as possible.<br /> I have adapted your Kaktugi recipe for my organic radishes out of the garden and it worked very well !Thank you so much for all your effort Maangchi ! I don't know where you get the time to be so personal on a site like this and on Youtube. </p> <p>Cornelius </p>
