I can't wait for fermented February!!! Anna can you do a prep video for fermented February. What things, tools, equipment or basic ingredients we should have before starting this journey?
Got me a half gallon going as of a week go! Woohoo!!! Vinegar makes the bugs let loose in the water. I go about a 1/4- 1/2 cup in a sink full. Put them upside-down in the sink to drain for a bit after soaking 😂 I need to send you something I need your help with, maybe IG?
When I make mine I shred it fine, salt it(non iodized), kneed it and use caraway seed(about 1tbs per gallon) and let it sit for 3 months. My 98 year old German grandmother loves it! Still have a quart that's a year old and it gets better with age.
I’m very excited for the February fermenting collaboration. I know nothing about fermenting! I love fresh cabbage but I’m not a fan of sauerkraut. However, my husband loves sauerkraut and because he is such a blessing in the garden, I’ve been trying to focus on canning things he will enjoy. If I could make sauerkraut it would be a fun surprise for him. I also hope to develop a taste for fermented foods as well considering the health benefits of eating it!
I have never had a clue about sauerkraut and never eaten much of it and I don't know why. I think I might give it a try. Thank you for your video and making it look easy and providing a wealth of information! Never thought much about fermenting but I do believe the time has come!
Thank you for this video! I already know to make sauerkraut (and will be making some this weekend) but I watched this tonight after a particularly rough day. Watching a topic I love (and love learning more about) and your pleasantness were much needed. Thank you!
I was so excited to see this! I just was looking up how to make sauerkraut the other day! Thanks for sharing this! I am totally new to fermenting! I can’t wait to learn more!
I totally love this video on cabbage fermentation. I have never done this before. It looks amazing. Love to preserve for ourselves in our own pantry .😊❤️
I love sauerkraut so much! Good job on the cabbages I have trouble growing them here. I have two tiny baby cabbages that are almost ready! I may add it to my kimchi recipe!
Yippeee. I am excited for this. I have tried to make apple cider vinegar twice. And both times, I haven't liked the flavor. Sigh. Good to know that it's ok to use, when the ph is under 4. I am looking forward to Ferment February!
Have you tried mixing both red and green cabbage in your Sour Krauts. I like mixing when I make it . Yes, the red cabbage will turn everything red. But Oh! so good. I am in the process of using al the fermented onions and radishes etc in my fridge for making room. Ninette Bird - The Caribbean Wife
Thank You I have been fermenting for about 6 months but find some good advice on your videos , The PH testing strips I never thought of I will buy some just to try out of curiosity
I have been so nervous about trying to do this, but love these types of food. And don't know all the equipment I need. I water bath can and have a pressure canner on its way
i love sauerkraut but i cant make it, i would love some home made........i love munching the core lol ...........the bugs and worms are just extra protein lol hugsssssss
i dont know if it was a joke or not but someone said they used their dish washer on cold water to get all bugs and stuff off the leaves lol i found it gross but hey to each is own
Hi Anna, love your videos.. I do love eating Sauerkraut but unfortunately I've been told by my GP to lessen my Salt intake bc of my heart issues.. is there a way for me to make my own without so much Salt ( issued warning by my heart specialist to only consume 1gram of salt per day... I hope I'm making sense. Cheers from Australia 🦘
You can use half the salt by adding a starter culture when you make the ferment, about 2 tablespoons per quart but I’m not sure the conversion. Have you looked into keto/carnivore?
Whenever I make purple cabbage sauerkraut it always comes out very salty and bitter for some reason, even if I try letting it ferment for a long time, does this happen to you and do you know how to fix this?
I would say cut back on the salt a bit and that should fix both problems. Too much salt can inhibit the good bugs from growing fast enough. Try weighing it
So just made a batch of sauerkraut and it is citrusy and very sweet (unusual not unpleasant) do you think this is ok ? only added some Carolina reapers maybe its this ?
If it’s not unpleasant I wouldn’t be concerned personally. It is odd that’s it’s sweet though. You could always try the baking soda trick. Add dash of baking soda to a small bowl and spoon a bit of the brine over it, if there’s a chemical reaction it is acidic
@@FermentedHomestead its actually quite pleasant almost orangie and im still alive 24 hrs later butI will try the baking soda trick. Never had anything like this before :)
Bahahahaha you just made my day! No, if it’s a foul unappetizing odor I’d give it a few days to settle out but if it still smells like a PETA picnic I wouldn’t eat it
I can't wait for fermented February!!! Anna can you do a prep video for fermented February. What things, tools, equipment or basic ingredients we should have before starting this journey?
Good idea! I’ll see if I can round up enough to do that 💜
what a great idea! I think I have what I need but.....I better go dig through the box of stuff I bought and haven't tried yet.
Got me a half gallon going as of a week go! Woohoo!!!

I’ll give that a try next time! Thank you for the tip! I’ll check my IG 😃
Love fermenting my cabbage....Sauerk
raut rules!
It’s the best!
psyched for February! Woooooo hoooooo!
Me too!
I`m so glad that i found you.
Me too! 💜
I keep sauerkraut so having all of these different kraut recipes is great
I agree! So many tasty variations!
When I make mine I shred it fine, salt it(non iodized), kneed it and use caraway seed(about 1tbs per gallon) and let it sit for 3 months. My 98 year old German grandmother loves it! Still have a quart that's a year old and it gets better with age.
That sounds completely amazing!
I love the pickle pipes! Looking forward to Fermenting February. TY
Me too! They’re the best! 💜

That’s a great goal to have! Fermented foods are amazing! Especially sauerkraut 😂
I have never had a clue about sauerkraut and never eaten much of it and I don't know why. I think I might give it a try. Thank you for your video and making it look easy and providing a wealth of information! Never thought much about fermenting but I do believe the time has come!
I think it has! No time like the present…especially when it’s sauerkraut 😂
Love sauerkraut! I made it with my grandmother. yum!
Yum indeed!
I love sauerkraut. We grew up on sauerkraut and were almost never sick!
I’m so excited! So much to learn! Thanks for putting this together!
I’m happy you’re enjoying!
Loving the fermenting February videos. So totally trying these. Excited to try all the new things I'm learning.
I’m excited for you! You’ll be hooked on ferments before long!
I don’t like sauerkraut but my husband does & he likes to help! I really enjoyed watching the process! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this video! I already know to make sauerkraut (and will be making some this weekend) but I watched this tonight after a particularly rough day. Watching a topic I love (and love learning more about) and your pleasantness were much needed. Thank you!
I’m sorry you had a rough day! I’m happy to help take your mind off things for a while 💜 sauerkraut is pretty great at that 😃
My hubby loves sauerkraut so much. I make this every year. Thanks for the video

I have to share this with my daughter. Love it!
Yay!
Love making Sauerkraut have been doin it for a few yrs now and love it all ,, been fevmenting a few things along the line an love it
That’s awesome! Nothing beats home ferments!
I love sauerkraut so much! Good job on the cabbages I have trouble growing them here. I have two tiny baby cabbages that are almost ready! I may add it to my kimchi recipe!
I hear it’s tough in the south to grow! Nice that you have had some success with it!
Enjoy it all
New to fermenting, but I love sauerkraut so gonna have to give it a try!!
It’s my fav!
Yippeee. I am excited for this.
I have tried to make apple cider vinegar twice. And both times, I haven't liked the flavor. Sigh. Good to know that it's ok to use, when the ph is under 4.
I am looking forward to Ferment February!
I haven’t had tremendous luck with acv either but I just forget about it so it’s not really a fair assessment 😂
In Russia my mom never put garlic in the garbage but I will try thanks this recipe 🥰💐🙏
I am excited I have been wanting to try fermenting. I got one jar I got and haven’t used yet. Can’t wait!
Exciting!!! What are you going to try first!?
I love it.
Have you tried mixing both red and green cabbage in your Sour Krauts. I like mixing when I make it . Yes, the red cabbage will turn everything red.
But Oh! so good. I am in the process of using al the fermented onions and radishes etc in my fridge for making room. Ninette Bird - The Caribbean Wife
I have tried it and it is delish! I’m not sure why I don’t add it more often. I love fermented radish!
Love sauerkraut! I always did it in a 5 gal food grade bucket then froze it but want to start putting it in jars.
That’s awesome!
Thank You I have been fermenting for about 6 months but find some good advice on your videos , The PH testing strips I never thought of I will buy some just to try out of curiosity
I love them just for curiosity!
I made my sauerkraut in a big food grade bucket.
I have been so nervous about trying to do this, but love these types of food. And don't know all the equipment I need. I water bath can and have a pressure canner on its way
Glad I found you. I make sauerkraut, but, ruin it by canning it.
That’s a quick way to ruin the probiotics 😂 but I hear there are still other benefits even when it’s cooked
I did it by the Ball Blue book twice. First time way too much salt. Second time it turned brown. Threw it out. Will try doing it your way. Thank you.
I hope you have success with it! Nothing quite like home made fermented sauerkraut!
i love sauerkraut but i cant make it, i would love some home made........i love munching the core lol ...........the bugs and worms are just extra protein lol hugsssssss
😂
Will now be following this video again with my cabbage that is in the garden. Will anyone be doing pickles?
Awesome! It’s SO good! I don’t think anyone in the colab is doing pickles but I do plan to when I have cukes in the garden
You gotta shoot those aphids off outside with the pressure nozzle on the hose!
Never thought about making sourkrout. Can you make it with store bought cabbage?
You sure can! Doesn’t even have to be organic, it’s nice but not required
i dont know if it was a joke or not but someone said they used their dish washer on cold water to get all bugs and stuff off the leaves lol i found it gross but hey to each is own
That sounds kinda gross 😂 to each their own I spose

@@FermentedHomestead its actually quite pleasant almost orangie and im still alive 24 hrs later butI will try the baking soda trick. Never had anything like this before :)
Did added the core also or discarded it ?
It depends on my mood. Sometimes I’ll toss it but usually I’ll cut it up very fine to get around the tough fibrous texture and include it
so you keep saying your moving so when and where is it going to change your gardening ??? hugssss
We are moving as soon as we have a buyer, it’s on the market. Most everything else is tbd
You almost ran out of sauerkraut? God forbid!
Truth! 😂
Question: mine smells terrible like a vegan man’s fart but it looks great. Is that normal?
Bahahahaha you just made my day! No, if it’s a foul unappetizing odor I’d give it a few days to settle out but if it still smells like a PETA picnic I wouldn’t eat it
