Easy Mason Jar Sauerkraut

[@teriward2589]

Just getting ready to start making my first sauerkraut found your video I really liked it because you have the camera up close so I could see everything that you were doing. Other videos I have watched you're at a distance and you really can't see the process so thanks for doing it that way it really helped.

[@journeytopreparedness6876]

Thanks, glad I could help. Hope it turns out for you, good luck!

[@bunkyman8097]

I like your cutco knife. I am 65 and use my mom's set she got as a wedding present! They are the best in the market. I use it to make my sauerkraut too. PS, good kraut video!!

[@journeytopreparedness6876]

They are some great knives especially for the price! Thanks much

[@wilburcollins8342]

Your presentation was wonderful and simple, perfect. Keep it up.

[@journeytopreparedness6876]

Thank you

[@sylvialmartel]

best one I have seen so far, I ordered these tops, and now ready to do this. Thank you.

[@journeytopreparedness6876]

Thank you! Much appreciated

[@chuckcox8490]

It is the best one I’ve seen so far and I’ve watched so many. I’ll follow his recipe exactly and I’ve been doing it for over a year and it’s delicious!

[@debk9664]

I will try this for sure. Love kraut! Store bought has too much sodium for my health. Nice touch with the caraway seeds! Thank you.

[@journeytopreparedness6876]

Thanks, hope it turns out for you!

[@rosaliesemrau1293]

Be careful with how much caraway seeds you put in. You can ruin the batch of sour kraut really quickly. Less is key.

[@prateekmanchanda5705]

Hi - I want to know what shall I do with my lots of brine, just before refrigerating my Sauerkraut? Shall I take extra brine out or I should still keep my Sauerkraut submerged in brine, even in fridge? Please clarify

[@journeytopreparedness6876]

I keep it all in there. Just put the lid on the jar and throw it in the fridge. Hope that helps

[@memyself2364]

Thank you for the video. Since the Masontops Fermentation Kit doesnt come with jars, which jars do you recommend, so that the weight fits perfectly. Looks like the weights fit well in the jar you used. So if you could mention the jar you used in video , that would be great.

[@journeytopreparedness6876]

For this I used a wide mouth quart size jar. But I have used them with pint jars. Not sure if it was a Ball or Kerr jar, but brand shouldn't matter. Hope that helps.

[@silvialopezfonseca6154]

A Wide mouth, that's the size!

[@rosaliesemrau1293]

What can someone doesn't have those glass weights. What could I use instead? Great vid.

[@journeytopreparedness6876]

I’ve seen people use things like rocks before. I would just make sure to boil them for a while to kill any bacteria. You could also try a cabbage leaf. Tuck it down around the sides to keep everything under the liquid.

[@bunkyman8097]

@rosaliesemrau1293, I use a zip lock bag filled with brine. That way if the bag leaks (never) you won't alter the chemistry going on in the jar.

[@barbarasanders7965]

I checked many videos and yours is the simplest. The only thing is they all used canning salt. What kind of salt do you use?

[@Moses.m]

Thank you for sharing, are those cumin seeds that you are sprinkling on top of the cabbage?

[@journeytopreparedness6876]

They are caraway seeds

[@Moses.m]

@@journeytopreparedness6876 Thank you.

[@davidtrutwin3790]

8:59 Use the packer in the jar as you are filling it.

[@rjhsullivan3299]

Smashing in a bowl looks work intensive. I would put it in a zip lock gal bag and beat it with a mallet.

[@journeytopreparedness6876]

Lol, that would work

[@denisehadfield7995]

Think you have to gently squeeze/ massage the cabbage not belt it to a pulp

[@georgegordonbrown9522]

@@denisehadfield7995 No, the more u squeeze the more the cabbage juices come out.

[@wilburcollins8342]

Thanks man😊

[@agornath1]

I make it the same way but add a little minced garlic and a chopped fresh jalapeno pepper.

[@journeytopreparedness6876]

Nice! I bet jalapeno adds great flavor and a just a little kick.

[@journeytopreparedness6876]

@@jedidahbintidaudi8241 Thank you, you also

[@cindyeastbourn7642]

Does it matter what kind of bowl?

[@journeytopreparedness6876]

No, just so it’s big enough to hold the cabbage.

[@pa.fishpreacher6166]

so how much salt per jar did you use?

[@journeytopreparedness6876]

Sorry for the late reply, I missed your comment. I around a tablespoon of salt.

[@tangvanle]

2% from the weight of the cabbage so one big head cabbage 1 tablespoon full

[@joanborden434]

What size jar did you use?

[@dmariewalker6880]

See the above reply

[@scottjkern]

You need a bigger job to mash them in make things a lot easier for you but thank you I’m learning from you

[@naomijakins9717]

You don't use vinegar?

[@georgegordonbrown9522]

Vinegar ? What for?

[@lauras4472]

You can’t ferment with vinegar. It would kill bacteria. Vinegar is for pickling, not fermenting

[@denisehadfield7995]

What weight of cabbage to what quantity of salt

[@georgegordonbrown9522]

2% salt by weigt in europe it´s 20 grams salr per kilo cabbage

[@blank-men]

After all this Time we are Still making Fun of Germans Calling this Kraut lol Good times

[@scottjkern]

I am watching you on KZbin on the TV but in order for me to type this I go on my iPhone no morning how come in come you don’t use a bigger’s phone and possibly a funnel to put it all in

[@journeytopreparedness6876]

Trying to show how simple it is & that you don’t need a lot of supplies to make.

[@denisehadfield7995]

Why not just use your hands…
