Sauerkraut Juice | Rejuvilac | Fermented Homestead

I did the GAPS protocol a while back and made this sauerkraut juice to go with that. Sauerkraut juice, also known as rejuvilac, might sound kinda funky when you first hear about it but it is actually quite delicious! I used it as an extra probiotic kick or added to soups, broths and stir-fries after they were off the burner for some extra flavor.

A few books I love that can get you started!

I found it easier just to blend the cabbage in a blender with water. How much water did you use for.a head of cabbage? Gonna throw some hot peppers in next time for a spicy kraut juice.

Thank you for sharing. I’m starting the GAPS Diet and needed this recipe.

When I was around your age, that stuff came in cans. I was a teenager then and I used to drink it every time my mother had it in the cabinet. I have been looking for it recently, to no avail, but I wish I could find it in a store. I'm too lazy to attempt to make it myself. Just makes me think yummy when I saw you taste it. Thanks for sharing. De'

how did your second batch turn out? I used red cabbage and 2nd batch came out GREAT - just checked third batch (ph 3.5) and that tastes fantastic too. I am about to bottle that and start a fourth batch. Not sure when point of diminishing returns will hit, but so far so good.

I filled it to not the very top but I left a third or fourth empty, however today one of my mason jars nursed open from the side of the glass. Should I not be turning them that tight? I don’t think they were that tight though, not more than regular

I have been drinking a cup of sour kraut juice every day to cleanse my liver (plus the advantage of the probiotics). Kraut juice premade and bottled is ridiculously expensive so I thought I would make my own. I watched a video on how to make sour kraut and she said to release the pressure on the jar every day. It may because she had a lot more cabbage in her jar. I just hate to blow kraut juice all over the kitchen. Have you ever had a problem with the pressure in the jar? Your video was so helpful. Thanks!

Mine keeps getting moldy but I think I need more salt and I need to shake it more often. Thanks!

I just found this posting, did the GAPD diet benefit you ?
One more question: I would like to make some dairy free cheese since I'm severely lactose intolerant and a lot of recipes call for Rejuvelac, I found some information (very little) on cabbage rejuvelac, do you know about it ?
Do you have any suggestions about this subject ? thank you Paola

Can we just juice the cabbage in a masticating juicer and add salt to the juice and then follow the usual fermentation steps? Or what about juicing the sauerkraut itself? Just wondering

[TheDa]

seems like a lot of salt. too much salt isn't good for digestion either. you don't mention quantities, but can you approx what brine in terms of percentage of salt to water are you making ?

[shannondamnit]

Hey I also know about *Eyeballing* without the scale lol✌🏾😉 Nice vid though I'm gonna try it

[missnickelbee]

How did the second batch of ferment turn out? I cant seem to find the video

[thefartstarver]

Is this stuff "bionic rejuvelac" or something? Also, how long did you go until it started to diminish?

[juliewholohan]

Never use metal utensils when making any fermentation

[reginapeterson]

I just make my regular sauerkraut extra juicy and save some of the juice from it. That way I have my sauerkraut and juice at the same time.
