Bag o Kraut

Time for another kraut post. 

The hardest part of making kraut is cutting or shredding the cabbage. So I tried using that pre-shredded coleslaw in a bag. 
Just a two pound bag. Hard to tell how much you get just by looking at it. 
Works great! But a couple of notes. 
The coleslaw mix contains carrots. A lot of carrots. Which is perfectly fine. They ferment just as good
But between the high amount of carrots, and the seemingly slightly dried cabbage it’s was hard to get a good amount of juice. 
Next time I will use a brine to cover it. I’ll have to look it up, but iirc it’s 4 1/2 tsp salt to 4 cups water. 
Oh and that 2 lb bag gets you 3 pint jars
