Place your glass fermentation weights over a follower made from vegetable leaves to weight down your lactic pickles. We use them to weight down homemade sauerkraut, DIY dill pickles, our kimchi recipe, and lots of other homemade pickled vegetables.
Mason jar fermentation is a flexible way to make small batches of artisan fermented pickles at home. Jars of pickles are easy to store on the shelf and in the refrigerator when you're using them. These glass weights are easy to put into the jar and remove and they make sure your pickled vegetables stay safely under the pickle brine.
Making homemade pickles is easy and delicious. With just cabbage and salt you can create your own sauerkraut in half an hour and then let it sit under its weight and airlock lid to ferment for a couple of weeks. Live lacto fermented pickles are full of probiotics. Making them a regular part of your diet can help improve gut health and digestion.

These are nice glass weights for the inside if Mason or Ball jars. They keep the veggies in the liquid. They are sturdy and have good weight to them.

1 of the 4 weights I received had stray particles trapped in the glass, and another had a hair trapped in it. While this doesn't affect the functionality, I couldn't stand looking at that in my fermentation jars. I contacted the company directly, they were very helpful and sent me a new set. The new set was flawless. Highly recommend based on customer service alone. Great value for the money as well, and they are well made.

This product works as intended. It does keep fermenting products under the brine or water line. Easy to use, easy to clean.

They were a little smaller than I would’ve liked for my 1 gallon glass jars. But they are functional.

Fits perfectly in a large mouth mason jar and holds down whatever you are fermenting, from cabbage to peppers to salsa!

The idea is great however consider having a flat plate for these weights to rest on because they just fall right to the bottom if you don’t.

Love the handles on these glass weights, they're a good size for most jars, easy to remove when you want to test how things are going, the rest of the time leave these on to keep everything under the brine. Very useful for any kind of pickling, or for making kvass, sauerkraut, kimchi, or cultured pickles.

Love these, use them a lot. Easy to clean and small enough yet add some weight to the small jars. Very happy with the purchase.

habe lange stöbern müssen, denn diese 6,7 cm passen perfekt in meine vielen Gläser, die ich habe. Meist werden 7 cm angeboten-- nicht zu verwenden für mich. Freue mich sehr über diese Glasgewichte. Perfekt, dass die Angaben wirklich stimmen. Sind schön und weden "ewig" halten. vielen Dank
