Luna Glass Crock Weights, 5.5" (Patented)

I use 1 gallon Anchor hocking heritage jars with the glass lids from Walmart to ferment sauerkraut. The 6.5” weight fits perfectly.

I accidentally grew mold on my clay weights. Yuck. These glass weights fit my fermenter perfectly and can be washed and dried completely. No mold. And my sauerkraut doesn’t taste like kimchi.

Beautiful glass weights! Currently using for kimchi. Very happy so far.

Glass weights are smooth and blemish free. All edges and corners are rounded. Good heavy weight, plenty sufficient to keep kraut submerged. Photos show kraut 1 day and 5 days after starting. (I mismeasured my crock, so the weights are a little too big -- they still work just fine, though. I'm using a 2-gal butter churn with curved sides -- because it's all I had that was big enough for the 5-lb cabbage from my garden.) There are a couple of large leaves between the shredded cabbage and the weights to prevent cabbage bits getting to the surface. The second photo is darker because I didn't have room lights on. What appear to be striations in the second photo are actually reflections of the grooves in the crock -- the glass has no striations, or any other imperfections. I also love that the weights are manufactured in Poland, known for high quality glass for decades, and where I trust that the glass labeled "lead free" is actually lead free.

It is pricey but very nice. It fits the 2 gallon food grade buckets I bought. Very easy to clean.

These are quality. Docking 1 star for how difficult it was to get the sticker residue off of them before I could wash and use them.

Just what I needed for my fermenting jugs. Nice heavy weight.

Great product, well made, and work great in my gallon-sized fermenting jar. These will last longer than my lifetime. No complaints with the product. The price is steep but buy once, cry once.
