This is purely anecdotal on my part but I've made a few ferments this year using mainly the Sandor Katz book as inspiration. I haven't sterilised a single jar etc, just a simple wash in the sink. I've not had any issues with mould etc. Sandor also advocates for not needing to sterilise vessels in the book.

I’ve got loads of jars of bean chutney my dad made last year.
I suppose a straight up pickle could be nice with loads of ginger and some chilli. I might try some in a kimchi too but I can never be arsed sterilising jars properly.
Never seen a plant produce so much. We were still picking them in mid September last year.
