The Entrecôte and sauerkraut looks like a good recipe.  Interesting to
combine cream and sauerkraut, and good to hear it results in a nice flavor,
possibly from the acidity in the sauerkraut.  Yogurt does the same thing in
sauces when it replaces cream.  It might also work in this recipe, too. 
Some care is required to incorporate it to the same consistency.

As for the yeasty smell on start-up of a sauerkraut, I can only comment I
have had that later in the fermentation and was afraid things were going
wrong.  Too bad we cannot e-mail smells by a listserver; (then again, maybe
not in this case).  Best advice is watch for mold on top and keep
everything submerged.
