@genuinetobias Hi! But more or less how many weeks does it take to be ready? I've read several different answers that range from 1 week (definitely not my case) to even 4 or 5 weeks... A last question, I also read that due to the fermentation process, little amounts of foam will be formed and that it needs to be removed. Is it important to do that? They say this must be done once a week till it's ready... Thanks for your answer!

@febafu Well I've never tried to keep it in the fridge but the fact that it releases water means that the fermentation process has begun, so no worries. I've usually waited for several weeks til my saurkraut has been ready.

@Crunchy68 I think i made it from 2 big cabbages, about 5 litres (1,3 gallons). And when it was finished I put in into the freezer. That way it lasts almost the whole year. I usually only eat it with other foods. Thats why it lasts so long.

@genuinetobias Hi! I started making sauerkraut last week. I really like it, but the one you can get where I live isn't as good as the one you would get in Germany. Thing is here average temperature is way higher than 50°F-60°F so I decided to keep it in the fridge. It's been a week and apart from the fact the cabbage has released a lot of water due to the salt, nothing more has changed. You think it doesn't work this way? Regards and thanks!

This honestly looks very yummy!

@genuinetobias How much sauerkraut do you put up each fall? I'm just learning this process. I used one cabbage, plus some carrots, a bell pepper and an onion in my mix which filled two old pickle jars. Started fermenting it nine days ago. Started tasting it seven days ago... it's nearly gone now. We loved it!
I'm thinking I need to graduate to a 5-gallon bucket.
