I have just made my first batch of S. K. and it seems to be great. Do you have to vent the jar daily? Does the fermentation process continue? Does the food eventually need to be stored in the fridg.? Blessings, Joyce. Dear F.R. I have just made my first batch of S. K. and it seems to be great. Do you have to vent the jar daily? Does the fermentation process continue?

Inspired, I filled two mason jars with cabbage, carrots, salt. I'm using water filled Ziplocs to hold it down though I know plastic isn't ideal. I had a plate covering the mixture in a crock, but then the juice covered the plate, but the plate wasn't submerged; it looked like it separated the juice from the cabbage. I might have to buy some fermenting jars. --THanks!-- Do you know how long whey lasts in the fridge? I have some 2 month-old whey. William, your mixture with cranberries sounds divine, especially with cheddar cheese. Yum! Connie, would love to hear your progress. Ah, I needed to see this.

I have been suffering from c.difficule infection for over a year and prescription drugs aren't doing their magic in this over-processed food world. I've asked doctor(s) numerous times to tell me what to eat, so, I'm going it on my own to get as many good bacterias in my system to combat the bad one that's taken off my lower intestines. Thank you for making this website available. I will be trying the sauerkraut.

But I *hate* grating of any kind and save all that for the food processor. Cheese, carrots, whatever. If it's grated, I use the food processor to do it.

I also like his hands on way of getting the juice out of the vegetables. It seems more effective and a whole lot easier on the arms and shoulders than pounding with a wooden dowel (this is what I had been doing). Very inspirational. Thank you ! Very good.
