you can do it in mason jars and weigh it down, or you can use a mason jar recapper

and a airlock as well

so I skimmed it out and switched out the weight plate and covered it back up, I tasted the cabbage and could taste some fermentation, was nice and crisp

In the direct opposite of your industrial scale operation we are doing a experiment with quick and dirt kraut.

We cut up 1.5 cabbages (the other 1/2 went into soup), then massaged with salt for 10 minutes, added caraway seeds and set into a mason jar with weight on top. This is suppose to be some kind of quick kraut recipe taking 3 to 10 days depending on taste preference. Not sure how it will turn out as this is our first time.

We make/eat a lot of kraut, I like it cold. I've been eating it on stuffed peppers for years and people look at me funny till they try it.

KVR I'm almost positive we have matching freezers...

I am going to have to try that; two of my favorite food items combined? I can't believe I didn't think of that yet...

It has been about a week and I tried ours tonight.

It still has a lot of crunch so I think we will leave it a while longer. It is more chopped than sliced, so that could account for some of the texture. Flavour is decent, but not as sharp as I was expecting.

Can we leave it too long, or is it just a matter of it being done when you are happy with it?

as long as it is under the brine, it will be okay for a long time, as long it passes the look, taste and smell test

looks good man!
