It sounds like you know quite a bit about it.I'm partial to the idea of canning it, with maybe some vinegar even, if
it doesn't meet the acidity level for water-bath canning. It can only
change into something else (that you maybe don't enjoy the flavor of)
the longer it sits, especially if it really did sit for a prolonged
period in the high and dry air. It's best to be skeptical of any
anaerobic pickle that oxygen has gotten into.
Bill,
Thanks. I am now thinking about freezing it. I am still living with relatives that hate it when I get out the canner. I figure if I put it in bags and freeze any yeast growth will stop and when I cook it, I'm good. I already ate some and it is not "bad" in any way including looks.
This growth is almost certainly a result of the low liquid level. The brine
needs to cover the cabbage to keep other unwanted creatures from growing.
Marie,
All was well until I went down to my place to get involved in moving the work along on the mobile. When I came back it was a bit dry. Not much, but brine level just at the top of the kraut.
