Have been wanting to try the whole head kraut, first saw
it at Potatofest, and wondered "How in thee hell".
There are video's everywhere for it now.
I think it would be cool to have leaves for Sammie.
That chick wants it in a cool place!
70 degrees is the ideal temp, cooler and it slows or stalls the process.
But then, most folks don't let it fully mature. They just want it a little
Sauer. Old folks never took it out of the crock. Just scoop out enough
for supper and recover. Skim the mold off and get what you need.
