along the same lines, has anyone tried sauerkraut at home? I was wondering if this is something I should stop considering since I live in a 2 bed condo. Will it literally stink up the joint?

I just finished a batch of sauerkraut. If you make it in an open crock, it will definitely smell. I used a 5 galling bucket with a fermentation lock that I use to make beer. It didn't smell at all (until you open the lid). The bucket also had a spigot on the bottom which made it easy to drain off extra juice. I put the finished sauerkraut in quart jars with screw on plastic covers. It will keep for over a year in the refrigerator.
