     Sauerkraut

Category   Appetizers
Sub Category   None
Servings   5 gallon

Ingredients
5 or 6 heads of cabbage depending on size
2 quarts 75 % vinegar to 25 % water
1 coffee c pickling salt
1. Get good cabbage not grocery store stuff
2. Strip outer leaves and save for later
3. Cut cabbage in 2 to fit shredder
4. decore the cabbage and discard
5. Add the shredded cabbage to a large pail ( wine frementing bucket works) and add the liquid.
 
6. Start pinning. You don't have to be aggressive just consistent in the up and down smashing
7. After a while you should start to see a milky juice in the bottom. Keep Pinning
8. If the cabbage is not forming a milky juice it means cabbage is to dry. ( growing season )
you will need to add more vinegar / water liquid. Start with a coffee cup mug and see if you get
milky liquid after more pinnig. If not add another cup full and continue to pinn.
9. When you start to hear a sucking sound from the cabbage wanting to pull back on the pinning pole
you are about done. Continue for a bit. When sucking sound is continuous you are done.
10. Place cabbage mixture into a 5 five gallon crock, Cover with saved leaves plate and stone.
Cover with a cheese cloth to keep bugs out

Instructions
11. Check the pail after one day and once a week to make sure all material is under the liquid. 12. Ready to bag and freeze.
13.Pail needs not to freeze but not room temp either.
We plan it to bag the last Saturday before Christmas so make it 8 weeks before. Cooler weather that time of year as well.
-Have plenty of beer for breaks. - we use 3 people in the process. One to shred one to pinn and one to prepare the cabbage and help with the pinning. Pinning is tiring on the arms and 2 work best. That said we shred 20 heads of cabbage. -Our pinning pole is a bed post from a 4 poster bed. It is about 3 1/2 inches square and 4 ft long. -Better idea Bill is to come down to Plattsville and make a batch with us. Not a problem. Looks like we will be pinning on Saturday October 17 2022.
