I'm going to begin some fermentation experiments in the next few weeks, so I decided to look up others' experience with lids to use with vegetable fermentation.
Sauerkraut is the primary item I am interested in, but I've got plenty of jars to give other things a shot. My brother likes Kimchi, so I might give that a try in the beginning too.
I wasn't making light of it at all. I think it's great that she can do this. I wish more women would spend almost no time on their phones, and the majority of their time managing the household. And, before you bring the heat, I would say the same thing for Men, and their sportsball, spending their time instead working their jobs and keeping the home maintained, and family organized and together. I applaud her for having the drive and initiative to pursue a generational craft like canning!
You bring about a legitimate & fair point. When I wrote that, In my head, I was thinking about the more destructive uses of phone time, like OF etc... I guess, I'll have to edit that, Good Catch...
PS. And we appreciate you, and the other girlies who put us with us...
I'm glad you're here too, I appreciate your sincerity, quick thinking and banter and most definitely the food and recipe suggestions.
Some people like iSnark seem to be here just to project their insecurities and insincerity, and predictably has to try to walk it back when met with a rational response like the one you've given.
That first type of lid sucks, but IMO keeping it submerged and getting your salt right is the main thing. The spring loaded ones are good for that, if you feel you have to get a lid system.
The last time I made kimchi I just used some of the woman's icing tips to keep it submerged because they were the right height, and it worked fine. People used to just use stones to weight the veg down and they made it work, so don't feel like you have to have some plastic gimmick to lactoferment things.

^ This is a great 'rabbit hole' to look into. Spoiler: You find subversive jews at the end of it.
Definitely increase your salts, but I'd not recommend "table salt".

Protip: Pierce lid with awl before drilling 3/8ths hole.
Start with dill pickles first.

#1 if the supply chain fails. you need to nigger-rig it up from old beer brewing equipment.
