Fermentation Has Taken Place #2:

• Here is a picture of my second attempt of sauerkraut about a week or little over week later. 

• Here it is a lot easier to see the color change from when I first started to about a little over a week later. This was a lot better in my opinion because, it is easier to see the fermentation happening. Also, it is just better because you can keep a solid eye on the changes through the glass as opposed to the ceramic pot that was dark inside and hard to see.
• Overall, the smell has definitely changed along with the color. The smell went from reeking of  raw vegetables mostly onions and cabbage, to now more of a calm subtle smell of cabbage and a garlic stench to it. I think this is due to the onions fermenting and not giving off that fresh odor.
• Now the color as you can see went from a nice lime green sort of color to now a brownish caramel sort of color. I believe some of this has to do with the raisins but, I also believe it is part of the fermentation process as well.
