What a ruddy mess, and probably too fine now. But anyway. Does this look right?

Looking good!

I use a jar like yours but keep it sealed (although I do burp it every morning).

My top tip is to use the same liquor every time - my first batch took ages because the ferment was starting from absolute scratch, but now every time I strain a batch to store in the fridge I always use the liquor for the next lot.

I shred with a knife so I don’t have to deal with washing up the food processor!

Ginger is a great addition, as are a few strips of carrot (very thin, with a potato peeler). Juniper berries are incredible and make it taste a bit like gin! I don’t like caraway seeds so haven’t tried those.

Do report in with how it’s progressing!

I’m sorry, I missed it. What is this stuff again ???

('Jackie P') #4309

Yes I will if I’m up for it again! Thank you for the tips, I have actually just used caraway seeds.
I’m away tomorrow until Monday evening so I didnt want any explosions :astonished:

We were typing at the same time I guess…
What the heck is this stuff anyway ?

('Jackie P') #4311

Lol it’s sauerkraut! Fermented cabbage.
I’ll try any thing once !

(Dirty Lazy Keto'er, Sucralose freak ;)) #4312

Oh okay :blush: Got it. Not for me, but keto on :slightly_smiling_face:

This was a “quick” meal for the kids. I also didn’t want to take the time (or think about) making a crust. Also, I was using up food in the fridge.

(Dirty Lazy Keto'er, Sucralose freak ;)) #4314

Got it. I was just curious, as some folks don’t like to eat any kind of Keto bread replacements. I love them, and I pretty much “have to eat them” in keeping with my Dirty Keto diet :slight_smile: lol

A thing of beauty, it looks good. Put it somewhere out of sunlight in that clear glass. I never vent because letting oxygen in can cause problems. That style jar is made for canning and will vent as pressure builds up on it’s own. I have done many batches without venting and you get zero Kahm yeast or mold growth in a closed anaerobic system. I read both ideas on venting and chose not to do it, I even ferment in standard mason jars finger tight without venting. Just as you would do them for heat processing. As long as I leave head room for expansion it’s never made a problem for me.

Chris, fresh homemade sauerkraut that’s living food is much different from canned sauerkraut mush you get on a hot dog. It’s flavorful with whatever you add to it and it has a nice crunch to it. Making sauerkraut from cabbage reduces carbohydrates by over 75%. It’s a delicious addition to a green salad or as a side with fatty meats of all kinds. It’s an easy way to help keep your sodium up. Healthy probiotic cultures increase digestion and gut health and accentuate weight loss rates. They also reduce anti nutrients in plants and increase the bio availability of vitamins and minerals in the vegetables. All it takes is salt and time. I eat all kinds of brined, pickled and fermented foods and this is something we have lost touch with in America. Most cultures around the world have done this as a method of food preservation and storage and benefited from the nutritional benefits of including fermented foods which is missing in the SAD open a can or package way of eating.

Wow thank you for that advice. I have closed the lid and put in the cool dining room. I so hope I like it as I am well aware of the health benefits. :slightly_smiling_face:

(Dirty Lazy Keto'er, Sucralose freak ;)) #4318

Yea… My Mom made home made saurkraut from cabbage she grew in the garden… And some of her friends raved about it… Tasted like rotten cabbage to me :grinning: lol
But whatever you like, if it’s Keto, it’s all good :slightly_smiling_face:

Decided to experiment some this morning. While the Wife was cooking some Sausage and Eggs, I took some Tuna Fish, added some Old Bay, Mozzarella Cheese and Egg and made up some patties to fry. So I ended up having some Salmon and Tuna-Fish Patties for a meal…
