Sauerkraut

The soccer season is coming to an end.  The regular season didn't come out as we had hoped, but Hendrix ended on a positive note with win on Senior Day.  Jake had the equalizer on a blistering free kick.  Lisa had tears.

We will soon be home for the weekend again, and so we'll soon be back to winemaking.  There are bags upon bags of fruit in the freezer.  First however, we're trying our hand at a different type of fermentation: kraut.


I used 1.5T of sea salt for the 1 large head of cabbage. It took longer to get water out of the cabbage than I thought it would, but eventually it was completely submerged in the brine.


We'll give three days then try a taste.
