+++. If the smell doesn't permeate the room when you open it up,

it is okay. It does smell a bit weird.

+++Good quality rejuvelac tastes similar to a cross between carbonated

water and the whey (liquid) obtained when making yogurt (if you know

what that tastes like).

+++It can be a strong odor and still be okay; taste it and see.

I am making my first batch too and I was wondering the same thing...

So, we do not put celtic sea salt in it like when we are making

sauerkraut, right? Would it be OK to add Celtic sea salt(to get a more

sauerkrauty taste)?

Thanks,

+++Hi . No do not add sea salt which making cabbage rejuvelac

since it changes the types of bacteria that are fermented.

However, you can add sea salt to it when you drink it, along with any

spices you think would make it taste better, or mix it into tea, which

should be cooled off first, or mix it into juice - there is good

unpasteurized tomato juice available in bottles at most health stores.
