Here's my method:

Sauer Kraut
Makes 15 pints.

15 pounds shredded cabbage. Chop however fine you like.

3/4 cup pickling salt (or 1/4 cup salt per 5 lbs. cabbage) (16 Tablespoons are in a cup)

Mix cabbage and salt. 5 lbs. cabbage & 1/4 cup salt at a time

Mash & bruise cabbage until some juice appears.

Pack salted cabbage in 3 or 4 gallon crock or plastic bucket.

Weight down with a plate & something to hold plate down.

Cover with cloth & large rubber band.

Let it set 14 to 18 days in room 60-70 degrees. Check often to be sure cabbage is in juice.
Stir up from the bottom a few times.
