     @blaise are you using a fermentation air lock?

     aside from looking interesting and being fun to watch bubble on occasion, they prevent gas expansion from causing issues, and the jar can stay closed during the full time span of the fermentation process without needing a manual venting process (which increases probability of contamination). (contaminated ferments are super disappointing, which I had to learn the hard way for some reason 😅)
