That $3 sauerkraut I bought from a roadside stand in Ohio changed my mind about store-bought

Stopped at a little farm stand near Millersburg last weekend on a whim. The guy had a cooler full of mason jars with handwritten labels. I grabbed a jar of his sauerkraut for three bucks and ate it that night with bratwurst. The crunch and tang were way better than anything I've gotten from a grocery store. It made me realize my own attempts at fermentation have been way too timid with the salt ratio. Has anyone else had better luck with a higher salt percentage on cabbage?

Was the jar actually bubbling a little when you opened it? I heard real farm stand kraut is still alive sometimes, which would explain that crunch.

Nah, live culture crunch is just good fermentation, not some roadside magic.
