Shoutout to the $18 fermenting crock weight that saved my carrot batch
I got a 1.5 liter fermenting crock last spring for about $45 and it came with a plain glass weight. My first batch of carrot sticks floated up past the brine on day 2 and turned fuzzy white by day 5. I threw the whole thing out and almost quit. Then I saw a forum post about a $18 ceramic weight that fits inside the crock lip and holds everything down tight. I bought it, did a new batch with 2.5 percent salt brine, and 11 days later I had crunchy, tangy carrots with zero mold. The weight paid for itself on the first batch. Has anyone else had good luck with ceramic weights over glass ones for keeping veg submerged?
