Ferment kraut, pickles, kimchi and more in Mason and canning jars, or even crocks. Making homemade lacto fermented foods is easy with Sauer Stones: they weight vegetables below the brine, like cabbage, cucumbers, carrots, and more, to prevent spoilage. Just place them in the jar with the prepped ferment, lightly press down, and start fermenting. Your gut will be so nourished after eating your own fermented foods because they’re full of probiotics. Sauer Stones can be used with other great Fermentology fermenting products, including our airlock lids and Sauer Stick tamper, or other brands like Masontops, including their silicone fermenter lid called Pickle Pipes and the Pickle Packer.
