Yes. Let me explain why. Even when using an airlock, you will need a fermentation weight when fermenting sauerkraut so that you can hold your packed mixture below the brine. During the first stage of fermentation – typically, the first 5-7 days – CO2 gases are created by bacteria present in your ferment. These air bubbles get trapped in a tightly packed mixture – like sauerkraut – and cause the mixture to expand and move up and out of the brine. A weight works to hold the expanding ferment under the brine and force the air bubbles to work their way up and out the of mixture where they rise to the surface of the brine and then exit the jar through an airlock. ## Features - UPGRADED KNOB HANDLE: Longish easy-grip knob handles with 1 inch long bulge makes it easy to put in and out. The fermenting weights diameter is about 2.75 inch, fits perfectly with typical wide-mouth Mason Jars. - SOLID & DURABLE: The net weight of each glass weight ia about 7.4 oz (210 grams), a lot heavier than a typical glass fermenting weight or pebble, which works to hold the expanding ferment perfectly under the brine. - CLEAR & SMOOTH GLASS: Smooth glass with no seams to catch bacteria and the flat bottom to prevent air bubbles forming underneath. These canning weights make the perfect small-batch fermentation system. - International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Product Dimensions | 6.99 x 4.5 x 6.99 cm; 953 g | | Colour | Clear | | Style | Compact | | Material | Glass | | Pattern | solid | | Shape | Round | | Number of Pieces | 4 | | Batteries included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Item Weight | 953 g | ## Product Details - **Material:** Glass - **Colour:** Clear - **Brand:** JILLMO - **Style:** Compact - **Product dimensions:** 7L x 4.5W centimetres ## Images ![Jillmo 4 Pack Glass Fermentation Weights with Easy Grip Handle for Wide Mouth Mason Jar, Perfect for Fermenting Sauerkraut, Vegetables, Pickles and Other Fermented Food - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61FReTnbTyL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are they made in China?** A: I have no idea where they are made but I can tell you they didn't ship from China.
