Update: My radish ferment turned out just right
I kept it going for three days and got the tang I wanted without going soft. Really happy with how simple it was to get right.

That "tang without going soft" is the dream. My buddy tried fermenting radishes last month and totally messed it up, left them in a crazy warm spot for like a week. They turned into mush soup, it was so bad. He saw @burns.brian talking about the three day room temp rule and tried again, nailed it the second time. His whole kitchen smelled funky but man, the crunch was perfect.

Nice. I had the same worry about mush. My trick was using a cooler spot in my kitchen, like the bottom cabinet. Three days there gave me that sharp bite but they stayed super crisp. Almost like a spicy pickle. That crunch is everything.

Tbh, keeping it at room temp for three days always gives me that perfect crunch and tang.
