My kimchi kept getting mold on top for like three weeks straight

I mean, I was using a regular jar with a lid, but I guess it wasn't letting enough gas out. I watched this old video from a guy in Seoul who said to just use a plastic bag filled with water as a weight and leave the lid loose. It took me a full month of gross batches to finally try it, and now it works every time. Has anyone else had that happen with a tight seal?

That "full month of gross batches" hits way too close to home for my own kitchen fails.

That water bag trick is basically a cheap airlock... keeps the bad stuff out.
