Important question is who be eating Kraut & pork fer good luck tomorrow?

I lookin forward to Kraut smothering tater pancakes.

I thought it was black eyed peas with a coin in it on New Years for good luck.

I processed the last of my 2020 kraut 9 quarts of Kimchi, 3 of Curry and 1 each of Jalepeno/Cilantro and Juniper/Caraway.

Looks nice . . . but Duck no fizzing when you open it, right?

Nope, no fizzing whatsoever. In fact, here is a picture of one of the stones that sit on top of the kraut coming out. The brine was a beautiful burgundy color and I was trying to get a picture of it. The picture of the brine color did not work but you can see there are no bubbles. I am not sure I have the stones to eat a kimchi that fizzes.



There was absolutely no scum on top, which I get a little of with some recipes.

Looks good duck . . . I had some in SEA years ago that fizzed when stirred after digging it up. Strong . . .

Not 'scum, the proper name is 'Kalm' and it's the mold growth where oxygen contacts the fermenting Kraut juice. If you didn't have any, you didn't have enough oxygen present in the crock to grow any.

Wife made Rueben sandwiches this evening with home cooked and sliced corn beef on dark rye with swiss and some of our red kraut. Tremendous. I ate 4 and I'll pay for it tomorrow after my morning coffee....

My Kraut does not give me the sharts. Makes the plumbing work smoothly :confused2:

But then I do not eat 4 Ruebens at one sitting, so what do I know.

My 2 quart batch is coming alone. Nice sour smell to it.
