Reddit mentions of 3-Gallon Stoneware Pickling Crock

Our local ACE store carries crocks like that in their housewares section. IDK the name of the company off the top of my head, but they could probably tell you if you have them a call.


EDIT: Looks like you can find them on Amazon too

This is great feedback and I definitely understand that the lack of weight/salt ratio doesn't help. Ultimately I was worried that a vinegar taste meant bad sauerkraut. I'll hang tight and wait a week or two before digging back in to check.

A quick follow up question. My reasoning for checking daily is usually two fold. The first being to taste it like I said earlier, but the second is to reapply the saran wrap b/c on some days the weights push the liquid above the wrap. I use an open crock similar to this and have always struggled with sealing it off and this method has worked best for me. Do you have a recommendation on how to better seal it so I don't have to reseal it every day or two?

Sorry, one more quick follow up. The three gallon crock that I have is essentially filled to the top and packed tight. Do I need to be concerned about the different between what's on the top and what's on the bottom in terms of mixing it up? I've always made smaller batches in this crock so I've never had to worry.
