Did some crock sauerkraut for 4 1/2 weeks. Very very strong stuff. Won't be doing it that long next time. It's in jars in the fridge. I could pressure can it, but that would kill all the bacteria, so I chose to just set the jars in the fridge. I've got some pickles in the crock right now. It's actually a couple days past due, and I'm stuck here at the campground. Need to take care of that....
