Vent: I always thought a 2% brine was the only way for sauerkraut, but my neighbor in Austin proved me wrong.
She showed me her method using just the cabbage's own juice and a heavy weight, and it worked perfectly after 5 days. Anyone else skip the added salt water for their ferments?

Heard it works if you pack it super tight, but I've never been brave enough to try it myself lol.

What's the worst that could happen, a tiny explosion?

Has anyone actually tested the pressure limits on one of those things? @the_tara, packing it super tight is exactly how you'd get a pressure cooker situation in your hands. I watched a guy on YouTube try it with different densities and the "tight pack" one sent the casing flying into his garage door. Left a dent you could fit a fist in. Nobody talks about the shrapnel, it's not just a pop and done.
