Designed by Elle Fox and individually handmade by local artist potter Robert Mensinga these fermentation weights fit through the neck and into 500ml Kilner clip-top jars or equivalent size clip-top fermentation vessels. Mold grows from mold spores that are present everywhere in the air and begin growing when they land on a wet surface that has nutrients (such as your food). Marbles tied a in cheesecloth or muslin – Marbles work well because they can easily fit whatever size or shape jar you are using. A vital component of the fermenting process, these weights ensure your veggies and fruits stay submerged under the brine, promoting a safe and effective fermentation.
I’ve heard of rocks changing the color of sauerkraut, crumbling into the food and worse, affecting the flavor. And, if you don’t mind leaving the lid off your ferment, a jar filled with water and its lid screwed on works like a charm. There are many products online for this and some simple things you can use that you already have on hand.Water or brine can be used, brine is good if you think the bag may leak as it won’t dilute the brine in the ferment. This is what I used to keep my ferments below the brine for many years with its drawback being that the surface of the brine is exposed to air.
I pack my jar with the usual amount of cabbage and then push the Canning Buddies down into the neck of the jar. Please do not throw away any broken goods until we have confirmed it is ok to do so as sometimes the couriers ask for the goods as part of their investigations.Would you rather put that money towards a fancy-schmancy water-sealed crock that takes fermentation to a whole new level?

Kahm yeast is a smooth, harmless surface powder that grows on ferments that haven’t reached high enough acids levels.
If the vegetables are above the surface of the brine because no fermentation weights are used then they are exposed to oxygen which allow unwanted microorganisms to grow.

I like bought these as a present for my husband and he loves these, he said that they definitely make his fermenting process much easier, like OMG my husband is really picky with receiving his gifts so I was so surprised when he went absolutely wild for these glass weights. You may have a silicone item in your kitchen that you don’t mind cutting to size for a Floaties Trap.We’ve put together some easy DIY fermenting weights you can create from food items commonly found in the kitchen. I have also heard of some being slippery to get out, especially if the food is further down the jar? My goal is to elevate the health of one million households by helping each and every one of you learn to safely ferment flavorful foods.
