I'm making kimchi (using
this recipe
) and am having trouble coming to terms with the idea of leaving something with shrimp in it out on the counter to ferment. I assume the salt and lactic acid keep the pathogens from growing?

If it's a brined/salted shrimp I'd imagine it'd kinda be akin to what's known in my area as "old ham"-so salted and dried out that nothing would live in it.
Prosciutto is the closest thing to old county ham that I'm aware of, for reference.

Corn is a fine adjunct in beer.
And don't buy stale beer.

Yep, I wouldn't worry about it a bit. The good bacteria will take over as well as make it acidic. You can also make great kim chi without the shrimp or fish sauce if you want.

Isn't this salted fish? Salted fish is already fermented and dried out so it should not be a health risk. Alternatively you could use shrimp paste (as used in Thai curry pastes) or fish sauce.
