I planted sauerkraut seeds today: cabbage, brine, a two week vacation in my pantry, and hopefully we'll have some rocking homemade sauerkraut to go with my first ever attempt at making corned beef from the brisket up.
I used cheesecloth and ziploc bags filled with brine (thanks mrswheelbarrow.com for that great idea) to weigh down the cabbage. Maybe I could have sliced the cabbage thinner too, but that's what I get for trying to do it all by hand on my first try. We'll see how it turns out in a couple weeks.
