    fermenting Vacuum Sealed Bags Not Very Inflated

    I did a vacuum-sealed bag fermentation with just peppers and 3% salt. Now that the bags have been fermenting away (I hope) for a while, I've noticed that they're not inflating as much as the ones in YouTube videos about this method. Also, I can smell the peppers a little when I hold the bags...
