fermenting Adding ingredients after ferment has started

[Nickbone]

Hello all,
 
I've got a ferment that has been going for about 5 days now.
It's very active.
I just realized that I didn't put as much mango in it as I wanted to.
Is there any reason I can't add it now?
Seems like it would be okay but wanted to check with the experts.
 
Thanks!

Nope, go for it, its only when the fermentation is complete that it cam produce problems.

Great. Thank you!

If you plan to cook/process the sauce, you can add more fresh mango then. Usually, once the ferment starts it should not be opened.

...and remember, fermented mango doesn't taste like fresh. If you're looking for fresh mango flavor in your end result, consider adding after the ferment is done. Then, process as salsalady suggests above.
