I wasted $200 on a fancy fermentation crock that still gave me moldy kraut
That expensive German crock with the water seal let mold grow right through the gap after just 2 batches, so anyone else use a simple mason jar setup instead?

Keep it simple is usually the right answer for most things in life... people overcomplicate stuff because they think spending more money means better results. My grandma used a plain glass jar with a regular lid she'd burp every day and her sauerkraut turned out perfect every time. Sometimes the old school cheap methods work better because they're just less fussy.

My buddy actually had that same fancy crock fail on him too, guess grandma knew what she was doing.
