Heard a neighbor talking about their 'failed' kraut and it clicked for me | Fermenting Foods at Home

I was taking out my recycling and overheard the guy next door telling his friend his sauerkraut was 'ruined' because it was too salty. He said he used a full 3 tablespoons of salt for one head of cabbage. I realized he probably didn't know the 2% by weight rule, which I only learned from a blog post last fall. Has anyone else had to gently correct a friend's fermenting mistake?
