From what I've read and fermented myself, the rule is "Submerge in brine and all will be fine."
This book is amazing for exact recipes and creativity, highly recommended!
I got it on Amazon, it was a little pricey...but super high quality. I plan to have it forever. https://www.amazon.com/TSM-Products-Polish-Fermenting-Weights/dp/B013TGNEHC
what do you mean by mashing? sorry i'm not a native english speaker.
also you dont have to "massage" the cabbage.. just turn it around SOFTLY.. be gently, there is no need for any pressure.
you won't need to make a brine.. the brine appears naturally during the fermentation (after you put the kimchi in jars and let it sit outside of the fridge in a dark place for 1-2 days in summer.. 2-4 days in winter time).
just take the cabbage, cut it the way you want your cabbage.. salt it.. turn it around a few times.. the cabbage will release some water .. after some time (you can watch youtube videos for that) just wash the cabbage like 3-5 times with water (be gently) .. then make the kimchi paste, mix everything together (be gently) and put it in jars, let it sit outside and you will see how brine appears, gas bubbles as well and the kimchi will develope a sour taste and smell. after that you can put it into the fridge and eat. i have 1 year old cabbage in the fridge.. my kimchi never got any mold or turned out bad. making kimchi is different than doing pickles.
also be careful what salt you use.. if you are unsure you can buy specific korean kimchi salt like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Premium-Salt-Kimchi-Brining/dp/B07FXW6ZZC

I'm actually using Korean salt specifically for kimchi since I'd heard the "bittern" in some salts can cause bitterness... There needs to be a bad luck Brian meme somewhere in here lol
My wife hates the smell of my kimchi, so I bought one of these and haven't had any trouble since.
