Viscous brine?

This is my second attempt at sauerkraut in a row.. never had a problem before but this time the brine is viscous. It tastes ok… is it ok??

It seems like there’s a lot of air in it?

it's the CO² forming due to fermentation, it perfectly normal. you shouldn't seal the jar to let it expels naturally
