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....![]()
Nice! I too love a good rueben and with homemade kraut and corn beef . . . heaven!
