2014 Kraut Canning

[Brad H.]

I took some time yesterday on my day off to can up my first 6 gallons of Kraut. This batch had been fermenting since October 6th, and it successfully passed the sniff test. I also made up 40 potato dumplings since the two go together like...well...Kraut and Dumplings. I got 19 1/2 quarts of Kraut out of this first batch. I have another batch about the same size that will be ready in a week or so.  Lots of meals for not a lot of money.  Who else loves Kraut?



Giving them all a water bath.

Looking good, Brad!  What's the update on your second batch?  My mouth is watering.

The second batch is all canned up. I got just under 50 quarts total. That should just about get me to next year!

Good job. 50 quarts should keep you for a couple of weeks. Going for a 55 gallon drum next year?

Brad, any chance you can post the process for this?
