Day #3 A Day Late

I meant to post this last night, but yesterday was the third day of my sauerkraut fermentation! That being said, my first attempt at making sauerkraut is complete! I took one jar of my sauerkraut and tested it. The sauerkraut was still quite crunchy and salty. It is much whiter now than it was before I put it in the jars. It is really starting to smell like the sauerkraut I know and love. I put one jar in the fridge and labeled it "3 days," because I am going to let the rest of my sauerkraut ferment for 7-8 more days. After making this first batch of sauerkraut , I've come to realize that waiting longer is better when it comes to sauerkraut. I can't wait for next week when I get to try out my second batch of sauerkraut. Stay tuned!
