Any tips so I don't end up feeding to the chickens?

make sure to use canning/pickeling salt. I usually toss the salt and shredded cabbage together like a tossed salad first and pack it WELL .you will need to cover it and weigh the coved down all. Try to keep it at a constant temp and check frequently if a film starts to form I would skim it off. If you need to add more liquid due to skimming just make sure it is well salted.

you didnt say to add liquid in the first place . covered in water or what ? and what is that seed that can be found in it ? I dont like that kind.

you should hear occasional bubbling /gurgling when it quits do that it is done and ready to can.

To can bring and kraut and brine to a boil SLOWLY stirring frequently!! Remove from heat pack into HOT sterile jars leave about 1/2 inch head space. the process in a water bath pints 15 minutes and quarts 20 minutes. OR you can cold pack and then just extend waterbath time to 25 and 30 minutes.

I have done mine in a 5 gallon bucket worked well. Keeps forever. IF you find it to sour for your taste just rinse the kraut before cooking or you can melt butter and cook some onions until clear and then add the kraut this is good as well. Some people add caraway seed I have never done so.

you don't add liquid to start the salt and cabbage juice makes its own brine. I ususally do 25 lbs of cabbage at a crack when I do it.
