My kraut turned out way too salty for months until I watched a video from a guy in Portland

He showed how he weighed his cabbage and salt separately before mixing, and I realized I was just dumping salt in by feel. I switched to a 2% salt by weight rule and my last batch is perfect. Anyone else have a simple trick that fixed a basic mistake?

Oh man, that weighing trick was a game-changer for me too!

Game-changer" is right, @paul_nguyen. I went from guessing to actually knowing what I was doing. It almost felt like cheating.

Measuring stuff fixes so many kitchen fails, it's wild.
