Hey Reader,

βοΈ A scale!
βThe One Tool You Need for Foolproof Fermentation {Pickles to Sauerkraut}β
By simply incorporating a scale into your process, you can say goodbye to weird growths and funky smells 𦨠and hello to consistently delicious π and healthy ferments.
My first batches of sauerkraut were made in a large Harsch water-sealed crock. I would slice some cabbage, dump it into the crock, sprinkle it with a rough tablespoon of salt, mix, and pray for good results.
The results were all over the map. With one batch, I opened the lid to find a layer of moldy gunk. All my hard work was sent to the compost. ποΈ It was no fun.
Research unearthed the importance of using the right amount of salt for a set weight of cabbage. So I bought a scale. βοΈ A mechanical scale that looked just like the one from my childhood.
We used a scale to weigh servings of Baskin Robbins' Mint Chocolate Chip ice creamβmy Dad's favorite flavorβout of their 5-gallon container. The four kids in the family had to ensure we each had equal portions. π¨
The mechanical scale worked like a charm for fermentation until I learned the importance of weighing not only my cabbage but also the salt.
The purchase of a digital scale took my fermentation game to the next level.
Consistently delicious ferments. π¦ΈββοΈ
