Am I the only one who used to just eyeball the brine for my sauerkraut?

After a batch in my kitchen closet went moldy last fall, I started weighing everything with a cheap scale from Harbor Freight. Anyone got a better method for a small batch that doesn't need a ton of gear?

Harbor Freight scale is the move, honestly. Robin_lee calling it overkill clearly never had a whole closet batch go bad. That mold last fall would change anyone's mind real quick.

What if the mold came from your jars, not the salt weight? Robin_lee might be onto something with keeping it simple. A scale adds another thing to clean and calibrate. I just use my hands to feel the right amount of salt now and it works fine.

Weighing cabbage for kraut seems like overkill.
