Reply To: Kimchi in refrigerator

Hello,
Don’t worry, everything sounds good.
The refrigeration slows down the fermentation, it’s normal that you don’t see bubbles anymore. The juice goes down, that’s normal too, as the fermentation slows down, there is less gas produced so your kimchi is calming down.
« It tastes amazing » Well done, now let your kimchi ferment slowly in the fridge and it’s gonna be even better. Just take care of it, above all, be sure that the top is always moist (don’t panic if there is not enough juice to submerge the vegetables).
Be gentle with it, don’t open the lid just to look at it (except if you don’t eat kimchi for a long time), when you pick up some from the jar press down the kimchi with a spoon to bring some juice on the top (every tool touching the kimchi MUST be clean and dry)
Congratulations for your first kimchi :)
