Something is happening! Ahh man, just went to check the water level for the second time this morning to ensure all the vegetables were submerged and ... Bubbles! In less then 24 hours it would appear that the process is macroscopically apparent. From what I have read one day to five is an average amount of time to leave the veggies at room temperature. My apartment is on the cooler side so I figured it would take at least a few days. Additionally according to Yumyum universe universe, the length of time spent at room temperature depends upon you individual taste. I personally like strong tasting vinegar like quality of sourkraut; kimchi, kombucha etc. So I figure I will wait at least 3 days before testing and refrigerating.


I plan on starting a second batch soon, need to go but some more vegetables. However last night when I went to the market they were out of local veggies which I greatly prefer.
