Thanks for the details! It's hard to believe that it does it all by itself with nothing but water and cabbage!
I'm going to try it! Blessings, Lea Ann Savage Satellite Beach, FL 321-773-7088 www.FreeFashionJewelry.com We have two ears and one mouth - use them proportionately!

Of course I rinse the head off before cutting it to fit in the food processor. I do not chop it very long so the shredded pieces are larger, ~quarter size. I pour the small amount of liquid from the chopper into the jug along with the mash also. I pour from a Wal-Mart gallon of distilled water into the 1/2 full of mash sun tea jug until it almost reaches the top, 1/2" or so down.. I put the open air cap lid on and bind cheese cloth over the opening and store at room temp of about 70ºF. When it is fermented and after removing the hard stuff I do add a tablespoon of sea salt or canning salt for flavoring. Do not use table salt here either as the additives will kill the mixture. If you slice the cabbage into 1/8" thick slices and leave the fermentation for about a month you will have the best sauerkraut ever. A large head of cabbage will make five gallons of sauerkraut.

Are you talking about a food processor? How much liquid is there and what size are the pieces of the cabbage? Do the bacterias come just from the cabbage itself? Do you rinse the cabbage before chopping? Sorry for all of the questions but this idea sounds easier than some of the other fermented "brews" that I've looked into and I'd like to try it.

I make my own good bacteria gut re-populator. Takes a little doing but is worth the effort. Take a full head of fresh cabbage, quarter and run lightly thru an electric chopper. Put this mash in a gallon conatiner, class preferably, add enough distilled water to cover. Close the container with cheese cloth to keep out bugs and other contaminanrts. Set in a dark corner for ten days, pour off the liquid, I use a sun tea jug so I can refrigerate it. Drink a cup or two a day. Works better for me than acidolphilus of any brand.
