Guest guest Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 I got my Harsch crock 7 days ago today, and made some sauerkraut the day I got it. It was bubbling nicely until today, every few minutes an audible " blurp " would sound from a corner on my kitchen counter. It stopped today--not a single blurp--should I be worried? The temp in my place ranges from 68F at night to a max of 77F during the day. I thought the outgassing would continue for some weeks, and that stoppage was a sign of a finished fermentation--could my kraut be done already? Anybody else have experioence with one of these things, or sauerkraut in general? Thanks! DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it, the first wave of fermentation is critters that give off CO2, and then, after the acidity has risen, a different type takes over, and there is less gas generated. My kraut only bubbles a lot during the first few days, and it turns out fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
