That’s great stuff and the only Kraut I buy now. I have wondered how it compares to homemade? That is the gayest looking schit I have ever seen.
I am MAGA.

Grow your own! Alaska grows some fantastic cabbage.
Your weather is different than on ours, obviously, But my Granpap always planted his cabbage seeds on St Patrick's Day. I'm not much on signs and all that crap. But, If you know where bare ground is simply scattering the seeds in our snow above it will have cabbage growing when it warms up.
Carefully dig them up and transplant them.
Works here. Seed can't be more than a couple dollars!

i didn't watch it. kraut is one of the easiest and cheapest things to make
3 TB canning salt to 5 lb shredded cabbage. hand mix in 5 lb increments and pack into a crock. probably won't need water because the salt draws water out. cover with a linen cloth and keep in a cool place. really don't even have to can it. you can just eat it out of the crock. deeper you dig, the crunchier it is. i have never had any commercial kraut that matched homemade. but be warned, your house will smell like ass 24x7 after a couple weeks. best to have a root cellar for it.

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.
Kraut heads are amazing. They make the best cabbage rolls! My grandmother used to do them and we’d sneak into the basement to pull the outside leaves off them and eat them as they were. I can buy kraut heads at the local farmers market, too. Have for the last 30 years.

Lol....I didn’t know how to respond....so I didn’t. 😁 I’ve no idea what heterosexual Kraut looks like compared to the gay looking stuff we’ve been eating but I tend to be secure in my manhood ........🌈🐑🦋

I will look for that stuff but have to say. I think I still have 3 quarts in the fridge, and cabbage growing season is only a few months away.
Next year I hope to do more than the 5 qts I did this year. Perhaps double that. And maybe try a couple of other veggies too.

Thats gayer'n aids. I just thawed a package of "uncured bacon" for use in the AM. The chickens are starting to lay again, so I'm asking your permission to have some with my eggs in the morning.

Well, that ain't how I make it. I learned from my grandmother many years ago. I only use kraut cabbage, the heads normally weigh about 10 pounds each. Let the cabbage sit for a day in my shop to warm up and then shred it, yes I have a cabbage shredder. Add the salt with every 5 pounds and pack in a five gallon crock. When up to within an inch and a half of the top you are done. We have weights that are sat on the top. Cover with a clean dish towel and let sit on the kitchen counter until it stops fermenting, usually 60 to 90 days. Put it in jars and can it. This stuff is wonderful. Absolutely no reason to add water.
Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

Not much grows here in Aleutian Hell that isn't native to the area. The weather is too wet, cold and the ground is full of salt. I have about a year to retirement and will be moving up to the interior where I can actually grow stuff.

I thought this was going to be about Germans. I think that was intentional.
