Sheesh stay away a little while and we got Ron making kraut and Pete doing kraut/peppers! Nice!!!
Only thing I have to add is I make some pretty good batches and then can them, nice to have the canned stuff on the shelf. However they say the healthy benefits of the fermented cabbage are lost in the canning process so maybe smaller batches be better. That said I do not care for the store bought cabbage's and farmers markets are pretty much a one shot deal at least in my area. So I grow my own and use the same cabbage my mother used to grow. Is a very solid head and is called Stonehead variety.
