I love this fermenting crock! It was perfect for my sauerkraut. It allows you to pack it in tight, and the weighted pieces keep it packed. I love the cover which allows that little bit of air in, tho I still burped it daily. Its a great size to keep your fermented food in it on a shelf in my fridge. Great product.
I bought a .5G and 1.3G crock from Humble House to test out. I've been fermenting off and on since 2007. Back then I started with a large, expensive Harsch Gartopf German crock with ceramic weights and a water trough. The German crock was just too big. I only ferment foods for me; doing small batches of kraut, kimchi and sometimes lacto-fermented pickles.These Humble House crocks are a perfect size for 1 person jobs or for small batch experimentation. These crocks are affordable, which allows me to own a number of them to ferment different foods simultaneously. The glaze and finish of the Humble House crocks is excellent! The German crock had a very rough finish and the weights were unglazed. I've sold the German crock and plan to buy a couple more of the smaller Humble House crocks. Very happy with them.My only complaint is the entrance hole on these mini crocks is a little too small and it is tough to get my whole hand in. An inch bigger would have made a big difference. Also, the wood stamper is kinda small diameter, but I have my own stompers, so just saying. The company does a good job keeping the cost down on the crocks and I would not like paying a higher price just to get an unneeded larger stomper with the package. Just look at the included wood stomper as a bonus item and not a top end stomper.Thanks, Humble House for making a well-designed, affordable and quality product!Daniel D.

I recently ordered this fermentation crock, and I am very pleased with the quality and size. It's a thick, sturdy piece of stoneware with a beautiful glaze. It looks great sitting out on the counter. I reached out to customer service about a small issue, and they responded quickly. That kind of service makes all the difference.Can't wait to make my first fermentation recipe. I highly recommend this crock. Happy Fermenting !!!!!
My crock arrived just in time to pull together my kraut. I unboxed it and am really happy with the size and design. The ceramic weights left a little to be desired. The glaze doesn't cover the inside half. The corner of one has a sizeable crack which makes a great spot for undesirable microbes to grow. And the unglazed portions of the weight had unfinished ceramic stuck to it. I have a spare weight hanging around that I can use so I'm happily not up a creek. However, if you're getting this in on a deadline then I'd suggest giving yourself some wiggle room for replacement time if you're banking on using the supplied weights.**Update**I'm bumping this up another star. Humble House reached out after my original review. In shopping around for weights, I had found artisan weights that were completely glazed and made the false assumption that these would also be fully glazed. The inside half is meant to be unfinished so they stand to dry better. That's fine and dandy, sets my mind at ease a bit. They sent out a replacement weight for the one that was cracked. The replacement came with unfinished plaster on it like the original two had. Not a major deal breaker by any means as it's easily sanded off -- but I still think that's something that could be checked and done when finishing the product before shipping. I did find that the weights weren't quite hefty enough for my first batch of kraut in the crock. The ferment kept pushing up above the brine. I added some more weight and it was fine. I'm on a second batch now of beetkraut and it's staying nicely under the brine. I have a lot more brine going this time thanks to the beets and the humidity/temp hasn't spiked -- so it may have just been unexpected gas build up that overcame the weights in the first batch. I am very happy with this crock. Where others have complained about water leaking, I haven't had any such issue. When I tested it initially to make sure I was filling the trough properly, I found I was over filling it and also that I shouldn't fill the trough then put the lid on. Once I started putting the lid on first then filled the trough only until it covered the "vent" on the lid, everything was fine and water stayed put. I'll probably be ordering a second crock at some point!
Second one of these that I’ve purchased. Perfect size and the lid functions perfectly for making sauerkraut
I absolutely love this crock! I purchased it as a newbie to make my own fermented krauts. The reason I picked this particular one was because of the existing reviews, the size, and the color/shape.The crock holds a good amount of veggies but isn't too large for my smaller sized kitchen. It is beautifully constructed and I have not noticed any defects. It came with a wooden tamper to push the vegetables down, weights to place on top of the kraut as it ferments, and some basic instructions to get you started. All very high quality and much appreciated. My first batch is at the 2 week mark and will most likely be ready for us to eat by next week. I was purchasing kraut at the grocery store and farmer's market for around $15 a jar which adds up over time. I find cabbage to be very affordable and feel like this will pay for itself quickly. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!
works absolutely amazingly I have made over 50 lb of homemade sauerkraut in it and absolutely love it me and my family go through so much sauerkraut now I'm going to try to find one that's double this size if possible
