My sauerkraut went from soggy to perfect after I switched my weight
For years my ferments in my 2-gallon crock from Ohio Stoneware were always a bit mushy. Last month, I swapped the ceramic disc weight for a glass one that actually fits the crock's diameter perfectly. After the full 3-week ferment, the texture was crisp, like a good deli kraut, not soggy at all. Has anyone else noticed a huge texture change just from getting a better-fitting weight?
