Hi, I've recently completed one of my first ferments, and it came out pretty good but was saltier than I would like. I used a 3% salt brine, and was wondering how low can I go for ferments? I was thinking of trying 2% on my next batch, but don't want to risk it not working. Any thoughts?

2% by weight (not volume) will work just fine.
