Fun with kraut!
I forgot to post this before now.
Last Sunday, I made 15lbs of sauerkraut.
First I cut the cabbages with this:

Then I added 5 tablespoons of pickling salt and 1 tsp of nigari and some starter juice from some other fermented vegetables and put it in this:

It has been happily bubbling away since then. It should be ready in about 4 weeks.
