Thanks for making the video- years ago we would always make 50 pounds of kraut and it would last us a year 👍

Just the video I was looking for. Thanks for the explaining the finer details in the method. And the cabbage hearts!
I have a queztion: After putting it in the walk in for a while, when would you jar it then?

Great to see the side of a bucket because no one would want to see how the cabbage looks when properly stomped or when it is fermented.

I stomped mine daily fir 18 days and kept it weighted, no added water,all in its own brine of cabbage juice and salt, at day 18 jarred it and put in fridge...NEVER CAN IT, kills the natural bacterial you worked so hard to get in ur ferment!

@judibooher8409,
I have a small batch working now. Two heads or about 5#. When it is how I like it I pack it in canning jars and store in the fridge. I never can it either. Why ruin the good probiotics you just made? I eat a little every day. Makes a good Ruben too!

Cabbage Stomper,, small baseball bat with the finish removed. To remove the finish, sanding or scrapping will work. There you go, your own cabbage stomper.
