Fermentation Crock 1 Gallon - Sauerkraut Crock with Lid, Weights & Pounder

Fermentation Crock 1 Gallon - Sauerkraut Crock with Lid, Weights & Pounder

Kenley's 1 gallon stoneware crock with a water-seal lid, unglazed weighting stones and a wooden pounder. It holds about 5 to 6 pounds of vegetables, double the batch of the half gallon Kenley.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Water-seal lid vents fermentation gas while keeping air out, with no separate airlock to fit.
  • + Unglazed weighting stones and a pounder are included in the box.
  • + Double-glazed stoneware is described as easy to clean with ordinary washing-up liquid.

Trade-offs

  • - Still a small-batch crock: 5 to 6 pounds of vegetables is about two cabbages.
  • - Unglazed weights can absorb brine and need a thorough wash and dry between batches.
