The Weights are an essential accessory for our Large Fermentation Jars and Medium Fermentation Jars to keep ferments submerged under brine! These half moon shaped stones are made of high fired stoneware. They are unglazed but because they have been fired to a high temperature and are vitrified, they will not absorb water.
When together, the stones form a 6.5″ diameter circle. These weights are sized to fit our large and medium fermentation jars but will also work in any appropriately sized container. The set of weights weighs 2 pounds (one pound per side).
*This product is a set of weights without a fermentation jar. Each of our fermentation jars includes a set of weights with purchase. These are for customers who want an additional set or who want a set of weights without purchasing a fermentation jar.
