Shred cabbage. Pack it unto the bucket/s 2" at a time and sprinkle salt each layer. When the bucket is filled, place an inside fitting plate on the top of the cabbage. Place a loosely fitting lid on the bucket just to keep dust and dirt out. Place it in your garage, as it will really stinkas it ferments. Each few days skim off the scum as it is fermenting. When the bubbles stop, put it in mason jars and seal.
Nice! I do believe I’m going to give it a go this year!
My dad made some when I was a kid. It smelled like the sewer line broke in the basement. When the Kraut was finished it tasted great.
