My sauerkraut in a 2-gallon crock went fizzy and pink after a week

I was in my kitchen in Austin, and the brine started bubbling over the weight. I skimmed the weird layer and added more salt, but the smell stayed off. Would you toss the batch or let it ride?

Pink and fizzy sounds weird, but is it actually dangerous? I've had some funky ferments turn out fine.

Pink fizz means serious bacteria, my friend.

That's not always true, it can just be harmless yeast. The fizz is normal.
