looks great. super simple process.
i like using kosher salt instead of the Real Salt though.
the Real Salt has some trace minerals that can interfere with the bacterial growth sometimes.
I do mine in a 2 gallon crock
I was going to use a (much smaller) crock but chickened out and used a fermentation lidded jar π I will still probably try it in a crock sometime.
Especially kimchi. My real love is kimchi π€€
vibe! Just finished a liter of beet kvass so maybe saurkraut is next, please post notes on your process as it develops!
Made several and I use a similar set up. The ferment may bubble up into the airlock. If it does just remove it, clean it out and replace with fresh water. I didn't one time and got moldy kraut.
Good to know, I will watch that.
Home made probiotics and vitamin C! Food is medicine.
If I wasn't trending carnivore... I'd be doing this. I love saurkraut.
Homemade sauerkraut is fantastic. The only real challenge is waiting enough time to eat it. π
Nice! I used to do this a lot, along with fermented hot sauces, and other veg.
With the kraut, my only tip is not to over-stuff the jar. I did this a few times and it went bad.
