Nothin' beats home made sauerkraut. So mild and sweet! I've never pulled off a batch myself. Does anyone think a brewing bucket would do the trick? I suppose it would then be dedicated to sour fermentation for the rest of brewing eternity, as 'kraut is loaded with lactobacillus.

Tips anyone?
Beer is like music. I don't have a favorite. I'll take a well-made example of any style!

You could look through this short thread . . .

I tried some a year ago and it didn't turn out well.  I might try again this year.

It was pretty simple when I made it...unfortunately I'm not a kraut lover except in small quantities or on a Reuben.

As far as the book, it is a thick hardback and I have only thumbed through it thus far, but it looks outstanding. The last book was just a paperback with a funky colored cover.
