Please answer this:

I read via Google (general search about the subject):
"Does the jar have to be full when fermenting?
In fact, to successfully preserve the food, it is important to fill the jar up to 2cm from the rim. Any lower than that and it is possible that the fermentation process won't take place and mould will develop."

This is probably not the case with this kit? I left about 9 cm space at the top since I did not have any more ingredients. Hope it works just as well or is it really important to just have the 6 cm space at the top and no more?

Hi, can we use a slow juicer's homogeniser attachment instead of using hands to squish the ingredients?

Do I leave it in this jar until it's finished eating or do I have to empty it into other jars to store?
