Watched a few youtubes on making sauerkraut and gave it a try, but I want to make sure I'm doing it correctly.
When I first mashed the cabbage up and put it in the jars, I didn't have quite enough cabbage liquid to cover it so I added a small amount of water. Is that fine?
Second question, I notice that there are a lot of bubbles accumulating down below. Is this normal? Should I press the cabbage down daily and make sure those bubbles rise out of the jar?
Last, is it normal that the water level keeps rising slowly?
Thanks for any guidance!
