Guest guest Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Hi, After using the Harsch crock I am making a much smaller batch of sauerkraut in a glass jar w/ a loose lid. After 2 1/2 days, it's obvious that a lot of activity is occurring....lots of bubbles, etc. But the top 1/2 to 1 inch layer is becoming discolored, not at all as bright as the veg's in the rest of the jar. I have opened the jar to test for smell, is it possible I've contaminated it w/ oxygen? If so, can I salvage the stuff that looks good, or should I just toss it and start over? This is curious to me, b/c a friend of mine has been fermenting sauerkraut w/o using a lid at all. anyhow, thanks for any guidance you can offer. nita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
