FAQ
What is a fermentation weight?
It's actually very simple! Fermentation Weights are designed to keep your fermenting produce under brine. Excess air exposure is the easiest way to make your ferments fail and go mouldy. The weight must be heavy enough to keep everything under brine and still fit your regular jars.
Why 2 sizes?
Much of the fermenting equipment available comes from the US, where everything is tailored to the US standard "wide mouth" sized jar. I found that they only fit the big jars here in Australia.
Having 2 sizes gives much more flexibility to use the different sized jars that you already have!
more about the weights
Our fermentation weights are made from Borosilicate glass - the type that makes the beakers and equipment in a laboratory! This type of glass is very resistant to thermal-shock and doesn't crack under hot temperatures like regular glass, so they're perfect to hold your pickles down in hot brine. Ours are non-porous and smooth with no indentations, so they won't catch or hold any brine.
They are totally food safe - completely non-toxic and contain no lead!
​
The weights are stronger than regular glass, but are still fragile... So it's best not to drop them!
They are dishwasher safe or can be washed in hot soapy water with your dishes.
