Shoutout to the guy at the Asheville farmers market who saw my kraut jar and told me to check the airlock

My uncle in Boone has been making kraut in a crock for forty years, never once used an airlock. Just a plate and a rock. His stuff turns out fine every time. People get way too hung up on gear and perfect conditions. It's cabbage and salt, not a science experiment. That kraut wants to ferment with or without your fancy gadget.

A plate and rock method works great as long as you keep the cabbage submerged.
