I finally got my first batch of sauerkraut to taste just right

For years, I just shoved cabbage and salt in a jar and hoped for the best (it always came out too salty or too soft). Last month, I watched a video where a guy from Portland said to use exactly 2% salt by weight and pack it down for 10 minutes. I tried that with a head of green cabbage, and after three weeks in the cool pantry, it's perfectly crunchy and tangy. Has anyone else found that weighing everything changed their ferments?

Is weighing cabbage really that big of a deal?

Did you weigh the cabbage after you shredded it, or before?
