  • How to make the best sauerkraut?

    Jump

  • Why would you measure it in carat? XD

    And to blow your mind even more: that is the partial recipe for how much we mix in one tub. In total we use 40 kg cabbage.

    We divide it then between 6 different parts of the family. And it's not like it is eaten in one month. Sauerkraut is originally a way to store cabbage over the winter and have something to eat while nothing grows on the fields. We eat the sauerkraut over a period of up to 6 months, so on average its more like 500 g portion per person per week.

  • How to make the best sauerkraut?

  • Our family recipe, but I don't remember the exact values especially for the caraway seed, so take it with a pinch of salt ;)

    10 kg cabbage, sliced

    200 g salt

    1 kg carrots, cut into small slices (max 3 mm thick)

    1 kg leek, cut into small slices (around 5 mm thick)

    20 g caraway seeds

    Correct sized stone for your jar, cleaned and cooked in boiling water for sterilization

    • Cut everything but keep 2 of the outer cabbage leafs per jar, select good looking leafs and just clean them
    • Mix everything in a big tube/vessel really well, so the salt starts extracting the liquid from the cabbage
    • Put the mixture into the jars and use your fist to make it compact
    • Important part 1: there needs to be at least 1 cm of salty liquid above the kraut at the end, if there isn't just add 10 g salt to 100 ml water and add enough of that solution as necessary
    • put the two leafs on top of the kraut to push it down and keep all the small bits from flowing around in the salt solution
    • place the stones (in middle Europe you can buy special ceramics like this for this purpose, but a simple stone of the right size or 2 is enough) on top of the leafs to push them down
    • close the jar and fill the groove with water
    • important point 2: the grooves has to be filled with water all the time to stop mold from forming
    • now place the jar for 2 weeks in a normal heated room. Check the water level in the groove. You will hear air bubbles flowing through the water trap, which tells you that the fermentation is proceeding nicely.
    • when no air bubbles are forming for a day, fermentation is over and you can eat it and place it in a cold room for better storage.
    • again: keep checking the water level in the groove
    • when you take out sauerkraut, always check that the walls above the water level are mostly clean and not to many loose parts are swimming through the salt water. Those are the regions where mold will start forming.
    • also refill the water level inside with the salt solution if too much evaporate.
    • always clear the solution with the leafs and put the stones on top and you will enjoy it for a long time (5 months are possible)
    • you can also freeze fermented sauerkraut to thaw it when needed and stop it from molding

  • So you would say they were... peaceful?

  • Trump advisers weigh actions to dismantle education department – report

    Jump

  • Then it seems you are younger than 40 years old. Because the fall of the socialist bloc in east europe was achieved by peaceful protests.

    Edit: I do not mean that I think peaceful protest alone will save the USA, but it's the start. If that doesn't change enough things, then you start the non peaceful protest.

  • Fully Charged in Just 12 Minutes! Korean Scientists Develop Next-Gen Lithium–Sulfur Battery

    Jump

  • You aren't so far away from the truth!

    To make a battery you need to have something that holds negative electrical charge and something with a positive electrical charge and both need to be able to change to a different state when you use it or reverse that change when you charge it.

    Lithium is the lightest and smallest metal, meaning for the same size and electrical charge, your battery will weigh less.

    Then you just need to find ways to make two kind of lithium compounds which have different electrical charge and can be changed between two states.

    And if it doesn't explode when a child throws their battery powered bear on the ground, that would also be a good characteristic.

  • Kegel CrossFit [Beetle Moses]

  • From a comment on blusky:

    Kegel exercises are done to tighten your pelvic floor muscles. (Think the muscles you relax and tighten when peeing) You do kegels by tightening for a few seconds and then releasing. Repeat a couple times. You could do them anywhere and nobody would know. That’s the joke. Hope this helps :)

  • What 7/10 games do you love and appreciate the most?

  • After looking Warhammer 40k Mechanicus is in the 7/10 range and I loved it. The setting, music and gameplay were all really enjoyable to me.

  • Interesting but not surprising that it differs. In my case it was mostly due to one seminar tutor, not a professor.

  • In high school I agree that learning it by heart is unnecessary. Studying chemistry in university though, I agree that the students there should know, at least roughly, where each element is. After all, a lot of reactivity and behavior depends on their period and which group they are in.

  • In a certain way I even agree with the sentiment. Of the crystals I have grown myself, the perfect ones are kinda nice, but do look fake/more like plastic. Those that are nearly perfect but have visible impurities (not to much, not to little) are far more visually pleasing to me.

    The big BUT is that this in no way is a reason to support blood diamonds. If aesthetic is more worthy to you than human rights, than you are a villain, it's that simple.

  • TIL Carbon oxygen bond is so strong that even in temperatures up to 6500-7500 °C the main product of CO2 decomposition is CO

    Jump

  • Correct, but that shows what an chemical engineering masterpiece photosynthesis is.

    It also isn't just one step, but multiple smaller steps in between, which make it possible to break the C-O bond.

    But the difference is, that for photosynthesis, there are other reaction partners that are able to bond to the Carbon and Oxygen atom. For the decomposition, they likely were in a pure CO2 atmosphere, making it hard for the atoms to find better reaction partners than each other.

  • The EU proposal to scan all your WhatsApp chats is back on the agenda

  • It was the one good thing the german liberal party FDP was good for, but they aimed to destroy the coalition from the inside (literally! they made plans and discussion meetings when the best time to destroy it would be). And now they are out and we have the SPD and the Greens left. So one party who really has a hard on for surveillance and the other one who is undecided.

  • What you say and what you describe are not the same. Your explanation is literally how it was explained on the other site. So you are better than you think you are. =)

    And I do it the same as you. Something I disagree with or don't like but is reasonably argued and not mean or full of any -isms? No vote from me.
