After that it needs to be tamped down hard with a big dowel to crush up the cabbage and release water.
Any water you put in it should be at least two tablespoons per quart or even three.

3 small heads , more will fit, I chopped them up yesterday night, and used my fist instead of a dowel to crush, added enough salt. There is brine but barely covering the stones. Maybe i just have to leave it and see if more brine comes up, but I found some rocks, washed them, and put them on top of the stones. Covered the lid, done, not looking for at least 3 days.
