Every year, I make sauerkraut, which is nothing more then fermented cabbage, and it will last me all winter into spring just sitting down in my basement in food safe 5 gallon pails covered with plastic shopping bags. I just make sure the brine covers completely the sauerkraut and I do that by placing a plate in the bucket on top of the sauerkraut and the plate is weighted down by a gallon ziploc bag partly filled with water.
