Pros & Cons
Pros
This fermenter is a really good addition to a home kitchen whether you are making kimche or sauerkraut. It is large enough to accommodate the giant cabbages we grew this year. This is one of the best gifts that i've gotten for my korean mom who makes ... Read More
The weights are very sturdy, the water trough to insure air tightness is great. The fact that it comes with weights also makes it a good buy, especially now that the weights are glazed.
This nice crock was received timely, well-packaged and as advertised. The fermentation jar is of a significantly higher quality than any off-the-shelf used kimchi bottles.
Cons
A defective crock caused mold to grow on top of the sauerkraut. It now has brine crystallizing in one to two inch lines on the out side of the crock. I hope that the constant seepage in the cracks doesn't reduce the amount of essential brine.
Red finish is flaking off. Ceramic seems like a good idea but the glaze really needs to be solid.
The two holes in the cover intended for the fermenting gas to escape are two large and reaching too high to the brim. The distance between the holes and the top sealing water level is about 4 millimeters.

You need to leave space for the weights because you need to put them in at an angle so there is some headspace
