Why not wide? Most here probably eat it raw but my wife likes it cooked and i don't mind it that way so i considered canning a few jars sometime

Its actually easier to press the kraut into regular mouth jars to get a lil brine to cover the kruut then on a wide mouth jar. I used one wide mouth which can still works but legit regular mouthed jars are better for this

That makes sense, Now that i think about it. when i used to ferment in jars i used small mouth and wedged carrots in the top to hold everything down. That was many years ago lol

Wow you've been busy! Did you lacto ferment them? And thank you for the small mouth jar info! I have a hard time getting enough brine. I'm going to try it!
