Buffaloed in Pa Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 My wife and I just made 5 gallon of sauerkraut. I used cabbage from my garden. Anyone else make it ? It will be ready in 6 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 do you like sauerkraut? 5 gallons sounds like a whole crapload... i was actually just reading up on fermenting some peppers and was going to use some whey I took from kefir to add as a fermenting agent.

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I love 'kraut... Especially on a nice all beef Maxwell Street Polish with mustard mix in w/the grilled saurkraut! ...Polish style w/the caraway seeds... Now... Too bad my colon doesn't like it! LoL Keeps you runnin' and cleansed though! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Caveman Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I make my own too. I add in carrots, apples and garlic, and with the sugar from the apples it's plenty done in 2-3 weeks tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBud Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Make it here. Usually towards the tail end of winter so I can put the crock in garage so the house doesn't smell. Just wrapped up making a batch of salsa fresca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
