  1. Mix\u00a0cabbage and salt together in a large glass\u00a0bowl. Knead the cabbage and salt with your hands. This apparently breaks up the cellular structure of the cabbage which is necessary for fermentation.<\/li>\n
  2. When the cabbage has become tender,\u00a0put\u00a0it into a \u00a0vegetable fermenter<\/a>. Pack the salted cabbage into the fermenter as tightly as you can in order to eliminate air bubbles. Use a\u00a0kraut pounder<\/a>\u00a0to pack the cabbage down.<\/li>\n
  3. Fill container with filtered water 3\/4 full. Remember that cabbage expands and that’s why you shouldn’t fill the container all the way up.<\/li>\n
  4. Continue packing the cabbage into the container until the cabbage is completely submerged by liquid.<\/li>\n
  5. Put weights<\/a> on top of kraut to keep it submerged.<\/li>\n
  6. Close container. Make sure air cannot pass through.<\/li>\n
  7. Cover container loosely with a kitchen towel and leave it at room temperature in a dark place like inside a kitchen pantry. Allow it to sit for at least 7 days. Some folks leave it undisturbed for a month. Warning, sauerkraut can get molded prettily easily if not checked regularly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
