Practical ceramic weight for sauerkraut barrels in a two-piece design with holes for easy removal. Ensures even loading of vegetables, limits air access, and helps prevent mold and bacteria for long-term storage.
The ceramic weight is designed specifically for fermenting and pickling vegetables in barrels with volumes of 17, 20, and 27 liters. The two-piece construction allows insertion through narrower necks, while the hole handles make handling easier and also allow brine to flow back to the vegetables. Thanks to the ceramic material, air access to the ingredients is minimized and a stable fermentation environment is supported.
Unlike wood, ceramic does not absorb odors, is easier to maintain, and contributes to a cleaner fermentation process without unwanted microorganisms. When the barrel is placed on a stable spot at room temperature, the weight ensures optimal conditions so that pickled vegetables retain their quality for several months.
