Humble House SAUERKROCK Fermentation Crock with Glazed Weights - 2 Liter (0.5 Gallon) German-Style Water Sealed Jar in Heirloom Red for Fermenting Sauerkaut, Kimchi, Pickles and More

I purchased this two liter fermentation crock in early January 2021, and immediately made a batch of sauerkraut on 1/8/21: cabbage, onion, peppercorns, bay leaves and salt to make the brine. I moved the sauerkraut to jars on 1/30/21. When I tasted the kraut, I have to say that it was the best I have ever tasted! This is an easy system to use. The crock comes with a weight to keep the cabbage under the brine (I also used a couple of whole cabbage leaves to prevent the shreds from surfacing, which worked well with the weight). The cover is an “automatic burping system” to let out the CO2 from the ferment. I filled the channel on top each day with spring water, and the ferment was flawless. Overall, this is an outstanding fermentation system and crock, and I have purchased a five liter crock and I will try this one out soon! In the first picture, you can see the crock, lid and weights, but also included is a wooden tamper which is very helpful when tamping down the kraut when you load the crock. Also, shown are the two mason jars of kraut: tangy and really tasty! My only nit pick is that the surface finish on the crock has a few pits, about a dozen on the outside and a couple of tiny pits on the inside. This did not seem to impact performance of the crock, but I will keep an eye on these. The five liter crock did not have any of these blemishes, so it may not be a common problem. The crock arrived well packaged and damage free, and is a beautiful piece of stoneware in its own right. I will buy another soon!

Product matched what the description said it to be. First batch of kraut was delicious. The water seal worked well. I would forget that the water evaporates so you need to check it periodically to keep the level up. I would forget to replace the water in the seal and still had a delicious batch.

I ordered the red and the black 2L Sauerkrock. The Krocks arrived one day apart and I got busy with my very first ever batch on Kimchi. We live in Okinawa, Japan, and the only kimchi it seems we can find has a sweet flavor. We like things spicy in our house so I decided I needed to take on the project myself. Oh, my, just after two days our kimchi tastes so good. I am testing it every day until we get the the exact sour/heat that we are looking for. I watched several YouTube channels and combined several recipes to come up with the right mix for us. We recently got a Korea store on our island so I was able to find just the right Gochugaru pepper flakes and I even was able to find plum syrup. I plan on fermenting some Sauerkraut next and then I want to make some spicy dill pickles. I'm looking for the perfect kraut recipe, I like lots of caraway seeds and finish it with a hint of Guinness...not sure what that recipe is going to look like. You can't miss with these Krocks. Nice packaging, speedy shipping, great product.

My family and I have been making Fermented foods in our 2L Sauerkrock for over 8 months now. It's almost like magic. We've made pickled okra, pickles and sauerkraut in this amazing little vessel. We loved it so much we bought one for my mother and father-in-law last Christmas as well. Now for the costumer service part of our story. The Sauerkrock lid never really fit quite right on my vessel. We lived with it for over 8 months because the only thing that caused problems was the water seal didn't last as long as it should have. One day I borrowed my in-laws and saw how much better it worked than mine. My lid was slightly larger so it didn't fit in the trough as well. So I thought, "it's been over 8 months since I had my Saurkrock maybe the company would let me buy a new lid for it". I sent them an email and the owner of the company emailed me back. I explained the situation and not only did he help me, he sent me a whole new 2L Saurkrock free of charge. I am very happy and pleased with not only the product, but with the service I received. Thank you very much Cody for going the extra mile in making my order right even after 8 months of use.

I have used a lot, works well, and looks nice on counter. The reason I am only giving 4 stars is one of the weights had a chip in it, I contacted manufacturer to get a replacement but have never got a response. I can still use it but I have sliced my hand on it a couple of times.
