Homemade sauerkraut

Trying for the first time. Very easy!

Let us know how it comes out. I've tried it a few times with mixed success.

Any good? Been wanting to try that

well
&
how do you prepare it

Wow, this brings back memories of big stone crocks in the basement with fermenting cabbage in them, and bottles of dandelion wine.

Hope you'll post up the recipe and process.

I'll be glad to sample and critique.

1 head of cabbage thinly sliced
1 1/2 tbs kosher salt
2 tsp caraway seeds.

in a large bowl, cover the cabbage with the salt and let set for 15 minutes
then roughly kneed the cabbage for at least 8 minutes. the point is to
break down the tough stuff. put the cabbage in a jar or crock and cover
with cheese cloth. be sure to weigh it down so there are no air pockets in it.
it's been 3 days and it's starting to turn. I'm thinking 2 weeks minimum.
store in a cool dry place.

I thought it had vinegar.

Common belief. It does not. My batch is starting to turn. Looking good too.

Thanks, now the issue will be talking the wife into having fermenting cabbage in the house.
Basements were always good for a cool place far enough away so you could do stuff like this.

Day 5 update, scaped off a little mold. Color looks good snd it's getting nice and tangy

Next door neighbor made sauerkraut. We sampled it and decided it needed another 2 weeks after the already one week. It was still slightly crunchy and didn't have the sauerkraut zing it should have had. good luck

For God's sake man, we need pics!

Finished product. Dang good too!

All you need now is some grilled Brats

Gonna make some next week.

Had to go back and check your progress. That looks good!

Ate some tonight. Very good.

My wife has two stone crock pots maybe 3-4 gallons each she uses to make sauerkraut and masato a rice and sugar drink. good and tasty
