Ah, yeah. Thank you! My batches are small since it would only be me eating it. I have done tons of other ferments so I've been surprised by my struggles. I do also have a cabbage shredder that makes it super fine, I keep wondering if I should just chop it up with a knife next time. I live in AZ so there's never good cabbage for me. I wonder if I grab fancy kraut from the store if I can start it with a spoonful or two of that. I could certainly pick up some starter somewhere online. I have yogurts that I got from somewhere that I love. I'll see if they have any fermented veggie starter.
