When it comes to kimchi and kraut, when it starts to get stinky and nasty, it is just starting to get good. Those brats look amazing!
 
You havent had nothing until you have had 2yr old kimchi. :D

When it comes to kimchi and kraut, when it starts to get stinky and nasty, it is just starting to get good. Those brats look amazing!

Mine never lasts that long but i do have some thats 6 months old or so. I save it for stews mostly. Fresher stuff is for eating as a side or in stirfry. Fatty pork stirfried and braised in kimchi with pepper paste is killer.

I just started a batch of kraut i use for hot dogs, brats and even Reubens.
4 bags of Dole Slaw mix (3 bags will fill a 2qt hocking jar after weeping)
A little over 1 TBS canning salt
1-2 tsp of sugar....wont mater much cause the Lacto B will chomp it down fast. (optional)
2 TBS Korean coarse pepper flakes

Weep the slaw mix in the salt for 2 hours. Mix well every 30min.
Add the pepper flakes, a few ounces of water and a TBS of juice from a previous ferment. Mix well and PACK it into a fermenter and i mean pack it down tight.

When it smells sour toss it in the fridge for at least 2 weeks.

This recipe has never failed to produce great semi spicy kraut.
