I just stuck it all in a jar with 50/50 pickling vinegar and water. Anything else I need to do? Lid on or off? Add any salt? How long to wait etc.
Cheers!

You don't make sauerkraut with vingear, you make it with salt.
To make pickled cabbage, I shred it finely then sprinkle it with salt and leave it for 24 hours. I drain and rinse it after that (this keeps it crunchy and stops it being a soggy mess by the way) pack it tightly in a sterilized jar and cover it with pickling vinegar (not 50/50 with water. All that is a diluted vinegar). In a couple of weeks it is ready and delicious.
Sauerkraut is basically a fermented product. You shred the cabbage, cover it in salt, weight it down and wait for weeks.
Not sure what you've made, but I'm fairly sure it won't fall into either of these categories, and to be fair, I don't think it will taste that good. Sorry."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52400606","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"echobase"},"datePublished":"2024-03-16T21:34:11.000Z","text":"Surely a Google search would give better results than asking on here.Â
I’ve seen some random questions but this one might take the biscuit! "},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52400639","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"jjames87"},"datePublished":"2024-03-16T21:39:36.000Z","text":"You don't need vinegar. You use the cabbages own juice, and a lot of salt. I find the organic ones have more juice coming out of them, but your mileage may vary."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52400415","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"harrythefish"},"datePublished":"2024-03-16T21:03:52.000Z","text":"Today I could not find pickled shredded white cabbage in Aldi, so will await next trip to Waitrose. We do pickle eggs but those big jars from Waitrose make it a bit too easy just to buy.

And yes a little salt is a good idea."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52402689","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"AMaky"},"datePublished":"2024-03-17T11:25:38.000Z","text":"Eastern Europe don't use vinegar, they use salt and aromats, to do cabbage, tomatoes, mushrooms, baby courgettes, cucumbers or even watermelon.
Bayleafs, black current leaves, whole peppercorns, dill flower heads etc.
Good luck!"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52400693","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"HellriderUKDeals69"},"datePublished":"2024-03-16T21:51:30.000Z","text":"Surely you should have searched before attempting the sauerkraut."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52403486","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Mclwrth"},"datePublished":"2024-03-17T13:58:57.000Z","text":"I just had a thought and… yes, apparently you can make it with sprouts.
