New 40L 'kraut crock

 

Got my new German style 40L (~10.5 gallon) crock for mass production of sauerkraut for 2015.  I currently have a 20L and an old style crock, but needed this bigger model for the amount we eat and amount I give away.  The fermentation crocks are the perfect crock for making sauerkraut.

 

2014 Sauerkraut

The annual family tradition - cabbage from Somerset County and spending time with the kids stomping kraut for New Year's and 2015.  We expanded this year and did a couple hundred pounds of cabbage in a few different crocks.  Going to be a healthy 2015!

Sauerkraut 2013

Sauerkraut season is on for 2013.  The Somerset farmer we typically buy from lost his crop due to the floods this year, but my buddy was able to find us some cabbage for the year.  We'll see how this batch turns out for New Year's.
