Super nice quality and design. Very well packaged. Good value

After fermenting in this crock and fermenting in jars, there is simply no comparison. With the crock you can do larger quantities and it is set and forget. There are no worries of over-expansion of the kraut with the generous diameter and height of the inner well. The ceramic weights are heavy and very effective holding down the cabbage. The water ring around the top does not allow any outside air into the batch and is easy to add water to if evaporating fast in your area. My only recommendation is only add enough water to cover the lid vent apertures by ≈1/4". Adding too much water seems to cause a lot of pressure to build internally causing the eventual Co2 release to splash some water over the retention ring. Just check the water level every couple of days to ensure it's adequate. Be forewarned that this is a heavy item and care should be taken when moving from one spot to another. Its larger mass is a bonus however, keeping temperature change minimal through the day. I am very proud of this purchase and recommend this crock to anyone that enjoys larger batches with minimal maintenance during the fermentation process.

Love everything about this crock. Made my first batch of sauerkraut and it exceeded my expectations. Really like the deep well to put salt water in, I don't have to fill it as often in case I forget about it. Came very well packed and arrived in perfect shape. I just ordered the same thing in the 10 liter size. A little pricey but like my Dad used to say, "you get what you pay for."

This crock is fantastic; Best deep water seal that doesn’t need a lot of refilling for evaporation. Highly recommend. The walls are thick, which insinuates quality to me. It is so much heavier and bigger than I imagined. If you don’t have a lot of strength, keep the heavy weight in mind. I deducted one star because it has already chipped a little. It’s still totally useable but about a 1cm chip has occurred on inner lip.

Great product and packaging. Anxious to put it to use

Excellent quality fermenter. Great Sauerkraut and other ferments have been delicious.

This seems perfect for sauerkraut can't wait to try it. It's beautiful and larger than I thought it was to be.

This crock is well made and very functional. The best part about this crock is the deep well that holds the water to seal it so oxygen will no enter and the gases can escape keeping the contents that are fermenting free from bad bacteria. As long as you keep the well filled with water and the room temp is not too hot the contents will remain good. I have kept sauerkraut fermenting for over a month before transferring to jars and then to the fridge. I have a crock very similar to this one and kept the kraut for almost a year in it and it was fine.
