    First Sauerkraut

    It could be left out to ferment more but I don't like it super sour, so I put it in the fridge. No special recipe really...it's more technique. I quarter the cabbage and shred on a mandoline. Rather than shredding the the face of the quarter, I shred parallel with the core, and only 1mm...

    First Sauerkraut

    I also use a weight, but a weight isn't necessary. Extra kraut goes in the fridge after fermenting. I make a fresh batch every 2-3 weeks, have for almost 30 years. Family has for ages, German heritage on one side. I keep the cabbage in the root cellar so I can always have fresh kraut, rather...

    First Sauerkraut

    I don't think garbage bags are a good idea, they're not food safe and they're prone to leaks. I used to use zip bags full of 6% brine so if they leak it won't ruin a whole batch of kraut! I've since switched to totally eliminating the air space in the fermentation chamber....I fill the, in...

    Dedicated refridgerator for dry aging Beef.. That's my project this weekend!

    ! think that you're over-thinking this. As long as the average temp is good, some fluctuation is not a big deal. I would take (and I do) a calibrated instant read pocket thermometer and place it in a cup of water...a travel mug works good...that'll give you an average running temperature. I...

    SQWIB'S Killian's Kraut (not too winded)

    Looks good! I  recommend filling the zip lock bag with 6% brine so if it happens to leak some your batch of sauerkraut won't be ruined....been there, done that!!!...it's cheap insurance! The method I use now doesn't require the bag, doesn't have any air space so there's no area for kahm yeast...

    Dedicated refridgerator for dry aging Beef.. That's my project this weekend!

    I use a small fridge. No fans, controllers or humidifiers. Beef is wrapped in several layers of cheesecloth that's been treated with boiling water and then dried. If humidity needs adjusting I place a damp kitchen towel in the fridge, but there's rarely a need. The most important thing is to...
