Homemade Sauerkraut

So a year or so ago, my grandma (93 yrs old) gave me the gear she and her siblings used to make sauerkraut when they were growing up. Slicer, tamper and Red Wing clay pot.
My father in law used to make it when he was growing up as a kid as well. Seeing how we like to do food from scratch it was time to make some Sauerkraut!
3 generations got in on the slicing action which was fun to watch. Checking the progress was wild as well since it just sat in the clay pot and did it's thing. A couple weeks later and we had Sauerkraut! Unfortunately no final ball jar picture but it was super fun and something we'll do again
PS, not sure why pics are out of order.

My favorite is fresh sauerkraut, I love it right out of the pickling container.
Your photos and story are great. It reminded me of my grandmother making sauerkraut, great memories. -
Mom tried it, two years in a row, and it wasn't edible. Glad yours came out!_____________

I love the antique shredder. We make sauerkraut and really enjoy it. A 5 liter crock lasts about a year.Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
