Hot take: those fancy fermentation weights are a total waste of $25
Bought a set of glass weights for my kraut crock and one cracked after three uses, leaving little bits in the brine. Has anyone else just gone back to using a ziploc bag filled with water?

Honestly the ziploc bag trick works fine but it can be a pain. I've had them leak before and ruin a whole batch. I switched to using a small ceramic dish that fits inside my jar. It's just a ramekin from the dollar store, works as a weight and way easier to clean.

Yeah the ziploc leak thing is a real risk. I saw someone online say they use a clean river rock as a weight instead, boiled first.

Remember when we used those glass pebbles for fish tanks?
