I have made many batches of sauerkraut before and all of them have turned out fine, but the batch I made about a day ago is a little gooey. I'm not sure if adding onion is the reason why, but this is the first time I'v done that. I know its still a bit early but when I usually open the jar to push the kraut down the texture of the juice is never gooey/syrupy. Its also foaming up alot when i move the liquid around kind of like what you would see with natto(seen online). I would like to know why this is happening, and if I can continue fermenting it, or is it bad already?

I just wanted to update that after a few days of letting it ferment, the viscosity decreased, and I ate it(but cooked it first. I am still alive lol yay. – Soul Apr 17 2012 at 20:44

Mine gets gooey sometimes, too, with the cabbage basically disintegrating. I attribute it to not enough salt. When it happens to me it can't be recovered. I wouldn't risk eating it.
