Hi! I am making this for the first time. I live in a region with considerable high temperatures, so they told me to put it in the fridge from day one. It already started to release water and it's been in the fridge for about a week. Do you think it will work that way? Regards and thanks for the video :)

@febafu hmmm, I'm not sure. If it's definitely fermenting(creating little bubbles and starting to taste and smell sour) then I would think it's fine. I am not totally sure, though.

@MoveYourBodyStudios yes, you can use all sorts of spices. the caraway seeds help it to sweat in the beginning when you want to squeeze the juice out and they add a subtle flavor. I've used black mustard seeds, cumin seeds and I didn't notice a huge difference in taste. play around with it. just make sure what you are adding isn't anti-bacterial, that may interfere in the good culture proliferating. have fun!!!

@MoveYourBodyStudios The cold temp of the fridge slow the fermentation, so the product will last longer. Leaving it out will let it continue to ferment at a faster rate and it will break down and fall apart much quicker. Depending on the temp, leaving it out longer may be necessary to actually get it to your liking. Once it's to your liking, it's best to keep it in the fridge.

@herbb52 haha, yes, it did!

Her hair wilted after she put the salt on the cabbage. :-)

Love your video. Can you put the finished product in your pantry or does it need to stay in the fridge? I've been wanting to try to make sauerkraut but was very scared- you have lifted this with your great presentation and I'm excited to give it a go!! Also, can you use another spice other than caraway seeds? Thanks, Tanya
