Any fellow sauerkrauters here?

...But I would like to taste the carrots.

Thinking maybe 2 lbs cored & shredded cabbage, 2 lbs peeled and shredded carrots and 1 lb peeled and shredded beets next time.

IDK still experimenting...

I'm not ready to post the recipe just yet.

you may find that you have to nearly skip the beets entirely, but good luck!

Picture of my first ferment attempt at 1 lb carrots, 2 lbs beets and 2 lbs cabbage all shredded weight. I peeled the carrots and beets with a potato peeler, then shredded them. So I guess this would be a raw ferment, since I didn't cook any of the ingredients.

First taste test after skimming, there was scum to skim. it's got a good taste and the carrots and beets are crunchy. Still need more time to ferment, it's still a little to salty. The ferment seems to be rolling along nicely. Interested to see how this experiment turns out. If it's good I'll post the recipe.

It should be and stay crunchy, if it is to salty to the taste it will be slower to ferment, you should never pre cook any veg before fermenting.

I love fermented stuff, including turnip kraft

Now does sourdough count as a fermented food, asking for a friend

Yes, sourdough is , and if you make the bread it should set up for 12 hours or so according to a good recipe

@CrealCritter; I've been thinking 'bout you these last two months. See, I made sauerkraut again. It didn't work.
1. my cabbage wasn't thin enough
2. I accidently forgot to use my store bought distilled water and used tap water instead
3. Its waaaay too salty.

I didn't use your recipe but combined a few to make my own. HA!!!

What a waste of two heads of cabbage.

Anyway, I tried. My gut needs the probiotics and so I'll have to try again.

Wash the carrots and the jar
Cut up the carrots, peel the ginger
Fit them in the jar, you don't want the carrots to be taller than the water level,

Then I desolve 1/2 tsp of salt in my measuring cup or a glass of water, I then an other 1/2 tsp
I filled the glass and poured it over the carrots then added more water until the tops of the carrots were covered,
I used a coffee filter and rubber band to cover it

Its geed to look back and remember what I did before

Yummy awesome fermented foods

Farm babe informed Sunday we are down to put last 3 quart jars of sauerkraut, she was highly conserned. We fermented 2 5 gallon batches (70 lbs shredded weight) last fall.

But she eats it like candy and gave some away. I didn't sow seeds thinking we would have enough until next year, looks like I was wrong

Currently looking for farmers market cabbage to ferment.
