    This is my recipe:

    1 medium head of cabbage
    1/2 TBS sea salt
    4 TBS whey
    Wide mouth quart size jar...

    I shred the cabbage. put it in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and whey.... Mix well. Taste, add more salt if necessary. Cover bowl let sit for 30 minutes or longer. During this time the salt will pull the juices out of the cabbage. Stir to check the liquid is being released.

    When the mixture is juciy... transfer to quart jar. pack tightly. Fill jar to the shoulder... pound downso that cabbage is covered by juice. Add more whey if necessary.

    Allow the cabbage to ferment at room temp for 3-7 days. If necessary cehck it during the fermentation and press down cabbage.

    Toward the end...the cabbage may get soft.. if this happens ferement for a shorter time.
