The probiotics found at the store usually contain only one strain of bacteria or a few different strains that are thought to be helpful. On the other hand, raw sauerkraut can contain a mixture of over 13 different species of gut-friendly bacteria, according to a study published in the December 2007 issue of "Applies and Environmental Microbiology." Each different batch of sauerkraut you eat, especially if you ferment it yourself, may contain different proportions of different strains of probiotics. Including a variety of strains of probiotics can help you diversify and improve your gut flora.

- If you're going to make it in mason jars, you might want to "burp" the jar every day or two, this will release the gas buildup so the jars don't explode on you (cabbage flying everywhere) when you're ready to open and eat the nummies. Just open the lid a bit and allow the gas to escape and then put it back on, no need to tighten the lid, just loosely screw it on. The gas buildup only happens during the fermentation process, so once that's been stopped, no need to worry about getting cabbage blown in your face.
Information to be taken seriously...somehow I feel you are speaking from experience. And the lesson learned was not pretty at the time. Thanks for the smile.

I also had this happen the one and only time I tried to make beer. We woke up to what we thought was the start of WW3 until we realized the explosion sounds were coming from the basement.
So what does my hubby do ?
Yes, that's right.... he throws on his rubber boots, goes tearing down into the basement screaming, "Save the beer !! Save the beer !!"
Oh yeah, I can see Iwinder doing the same thing. They have their priorities for sure.
We once considered trying to make our own brew, but thought the economy would suffer if we did.
Namaste,
