    Vacuum bagging fermented sauerkraut with chamber sealer?

    Has anyone used a chamber sealer to bag and refrigerate fermented sauerkraut or similar items? I'm looking for a way to store already fermented kraut and similar things as canning kills the probiotics and breaks down much of the nutrients. Thanks

    Sausage Maker 15 lb stuffer #18-1012 info sought

    Has anyone got experience with this stuffer?  It's the heavier duty of their 15 lb stuffers with the gear box but the "Especially hardened resin gears" cause me a bit of concern. Thanks Lance EDIT: I should have added that I won't be using it for small stuff like snack sticks.  I've got a 5...
