    Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane - the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started SSM in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let's get into it! Cheers, Mark :)

      Hi Tony, thanks mate, yep I'll think about making a dedicated "how-to" to making sauerkraut in a crock but in the meantime see my full recipe here on my Website www.selfsufficientme.com/recipes/how-to-make-sauerkraut-in-a-jar-easy-recipe

    We cut down on carbs and now eat "clean foods" including home made krauts and pickled foods including eggs.
    Dropped 18kg in 6 mths. Fermenting foods is an excellent way to improve your health. 👍

      LOL of course not... the world would be a much sadder place if it wasn't for the German's inventing sauerkraut! Good on your Granny. My Grandparents were both 1st gen German/Australians and they loved their fermented foods also. Cheers :)

    This is so relatable to my life right now. I'm in a McDonald's parking lot eating crap, and just the other day me and my uncle we're talking about how awesome fermented foods are. I appreciate you and your videos. This will be a huge channel some day, I just know it.

    Yes, Yes and Yes! I've had about 12 inches of colon and 6 inches of small intestine removed and have been really searching for a way to try to balance my "innerds". So thank you so much for starting a series on fermenting foods. A major follow up on your pickling vids of the past. More Sir, I say more!

    I'm eating some fermented broccoli leaves and carrots while I write this. I wanted to pass along this tip. The cost of seed for a sizable garden can be considerable when purchased in small packets. I purchase many of my vegetable and herb seeds from my local Natural Food Store out of the bulk bins. A 2 gram packet of broccoli seed can cost $1.85 or more (in the USA) but 2 grams of broccoli seed from the bulk bin is 17 cents.

  • @brissygirl4997
    @brissygirl4997 Před 6 lety +3

    Mark I saw a couple of years ago an episode of River Cottage Australia, that they did an experiment of making sauerkraut 2 different ways one was traditionally done with salt etc and the other was done using the whey leftover from cheese making. The results were interesting in that the whey sauerkraut had a different taste and slight sweetness. The program airs on SBS I believe so if you have a search online you might be able to find the episode I'm talking about.

    • @Selfsufficientme
      @Selfsufficientme  Před 6 lety +1

      Yes, I do recall seeing parts of that episode... I think he fermented it in an open container with a cloth over it or something if I remember correctly. I want to experiment more on some variations of sauerkraut such as adding chillies and other herbs/spices but at the end of the day plain old kraut is hard to beat. Cheers :)

    • @jancas2001
      @jancas2001 Před 5 lety +1

      I use the whey from when I make milk kefir, I let the kefir separate and filter off the curds to make milk kefir cheese and then store the whey for when I make sauerkraut

  • @africanhomestead
    @africanhomestead Před 6 lety

    Thanks for the video! I just recently started fermenting here in Liberia. Right now, I have a batch of sliced carrots and cucumbers fermenting with garlic and Liberian chili peppers. I also have a batch of carrots and ginger fermenting with garlic (my first time fermenting ginger).
    I grew up eating sauerkraut at Mennonite family reunions. Unfortunately, because of my location in a developing country, I don't have access to fermenting crocks. I assume that a larger food grade bucket would work with something fashioned to hold the cabbage down in the brine. Any advice? Thanks!

    Very good video, thank you. I have two quick questions. I live in central Florida, we have the same climate as SE Queensland. What times of the day do you work outdoors in the hot, humid days of Summer? And do you get really cold snaps as we do right now of 35 degrees Fahrenheit or less, if so do you cover any plants? Thank you for your amazing vlogs and very helpful information.

    Excellent, I have been fermenting cabbage into sauerkraut for a few months now using mason jars and coffee filters for the cover, the house is around 65-68 degrees, been making 1-2 a week...it is the best I have ever tasted! I am going to stock pile a few jars in the fridge, how long do you usually ferment for? Is 2 weeks enough for that temperature?

    • @Selfsufficientme
      @Selfsufficientme  Před 6 lety +4

      Good on ya! It takes roughly 2-3 weeks for a ferment to get to the stage that I like but it can be less or more depending on several variables such as average temps, salt qty used, natural bacteria on the product etc. The best way is to simply taste it regularly and yes try not to let the average temp get too hot - I try to keep ours under 23C - anything too long in the high 20s or 30s and the ferment can go mushy. Cheers :)

    Do you have Squirrels like we do in North America? I've tried to grow many crops, but the squirrels just eat them up.
    Aside from building a wire mesh cage, do you have any suggestions? How do you deal with mammal pests?
    Love your videos, very inspiring

    • @catey62
      @catey62 Před 6 lety

      We dont have squirrels here but we do have possums which are a larger animal that love to feast on anything we grow, particularly fruits..then we have a lot of native birds that are also partial to our fruit, especially things like apricot, pears, apples..basically anything sweet...then I know some areas also have problems with flying foxes (fruit bats) damaging fruit too. only way to really keep things safe is to net your trees, vines and whatever else you may have growing...Mark may have some more ideas as well.

      The chips will kill you if you use the wrong type of oil.
      Canola oil (rape seed oil) is very bad,it's not fit for human consumption,yet people use it because they don't know better and it's the cheapest oil there is.

    • @wtglb
      @wtglb Před 6 lety
