True. What is even better is that you can make sauerkraut in almost any 
container that is waterproof. I haven't done it yet (I live in a small 
apartment and my neighbours already complain enough about the egg tempera 
paints and resin varnishes), but friends and relatives of mine have done it 
in crockpots, enameled cookpots, buckets, glass jars, and in one documented 
case in a disused garbage bin (which I would not recommend, notwithstanding 
the kraut being the best of the lot). I think wooden casks are traditionally 
recommended. 

I've got to make some this autumn
