My first sauerkraut batch used a pickle crock, now I just use a mason jar with a pickle pipe

I spent 9 years in Ohio doing the whole heavy crock setup with the water seal and the constant checking, but after I switched to a 32oz jar with an airlock lid last spring, the only thing I check now is the fridge shelf space, so has anyone else dropped the fancy gear for the simple route and regretted it or not?

Did the flavor change at all when you made the switch? That's the thing I kept wondering about with my own batches. The crock always gave me this deeper, funkier taste, but the jar stuff comes out cleaner and brighter. Curious if you noticed that difference too or if it's all the same to you.
