I put my bokashi bin on a heating pad for a week and it turned into a science project
Everyone says bokashi needs to be warm, so I set my bucket on a low heating pad to speed things up in my chilly Chicago kitchen. The result was a foamy, fizzy mess that smelled way worse than normal, and I think I basically pickled it instead of fermenting it. Has anyone else had a 'good idea' for speeding up a process that just made a bigger problem?

Oh wow, that sounds like a real mess. What temperature setting did you have the heating pad on, and was it directly on the plastic? I'm wondering if the heat killed the good microbes and let something else take over.

Chicago winters are rough, but bokashi works best at normal room temp, not heated.
