Just FYI, most nicer grocery stores do sell live culture sauerkraut, usually on a cooler shelf somewhere. It's really really expensive though, around $1/oz.

If you aren't sure if you like sauerkraut, you could try that once before buying a fermentation crock, weights, jars, etc.

I've bought that stuff before and it's still not the same. I say go straight for the homemade, cabbage is cheap and all you need is a single Mason jar, I've never bothered with crocks or other special equipment.

You should use weights. That being said a dinner plate that barely fits in a 5 gallon bucket works.

Instead of weights I use something like a shot glass under the lid of the jar that presses down and keeps all of the cabbage below the liquid when I close it.

Does your family really eat that much? A quart last me months, I should eat more.
