Dunno Seal could potentially slow the ferment due to pressure restriction so impact on rate and the final ferment achievable... then it will be a balance between pressure constriction via the bag... and the microbial population to see how much grunt each has... like tree roots under concrete footpaths... however. noting that the organic matter within the bag has a finite capability to generate carbon dioxide before they are done...

Cheap Charlie Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Brilliant concept, for sure will give this a try. Do you add brine or mash the cabbage before vacuum sealing? @beach_life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
