Water Seal Fermentation

Ferment food the traditional way with our water channel crock jar, lid and weights. With this crock, you can make numerous probiotic-rich recipes like kimchi, pickled vegetables, sauerkraut, kefir, kombucha, yogurt, sourdough, condiments, and more! Fermentation gives fermented foods their zing; it also delivers probiotics, B vitamins, omega-3s and digestive enzymes that strengthen our digestive and immune health. There is no limit to the types of fermented foods and beverages you can concoct.

  • Make german-style sauekraut for layering on a bratwurst or eating on its own--best served warm!
  • Or try your hand at an easy napa cabbage kimchi recipe, rich in umami flavor and healthy probiotics!
  • You can truly ferment any vegetable, especially cucumbers, to get the crisp tart flavor of pickles!
  • It's even easy to brew kombucha or grow a sourdough starter by swapping out the lid for a clean cloth!

Place prepared cabbage, cucumbers, and vegetables into the crock, using the included crescent weights to submerge the contents, fill the gutter rim, and add the lid. The ingenious design of this crock allows carbon dioxide to escape while keeping air and unwanted microbes and contaminants, such as dust and insects, out.

Water seal Fermentation Crock-2 gallon

Extremely well made, and finished, and well packed for the delivery. Top fits well into the groove for water seal. Compared to the brown one made in China, this crock is better made and smooth glaze inside and out and beautiful. Will be returning the china one.

Best value and safety

What does that mean? You can get cheap crocks from china and run the risk of forced labor and toxic materials. Or support American businesses with amazing quality. The choice was easy for me. I hope it will be for you as well.

The crock arrived in perfect shape. Very impressive packing. It's very beautiful, sturdy, heavy...

I have nothing to add to the above except to say I wish I needed another crock. I'd order it immediately!

2 gallon water seal crock

Ordered and received the 2 gallon crock. Looks great. While washing it before the first ferment I noticed a small crack in the glaze inside. I took pictures and sent them to Ohio stoneware. They replaced the crock base with no questions. Great customer service. First round of pickles are now fermenting.

Nice looking havenโ€™t used it yet but purchased using positive reviews. The only thing thatโ€™s off is the shape of the lid isnโ€™t exactly round. Assuming hand spun so itโ€™s a little wonky

Best Water Seal Fermentation Crock

Really like this 2 gallon crock! Itโ€™s large enough to hold 5 heads of cabbage and the top is large enough to get my hand in to press down the cabbage. The water seal is deep enough to make a great airtight seal and only needs water added to it about every three days.
I highly recommend this 2 gal crock and itโ€™s made in Ohio!

I recently finished a sauerkraut ferment and am already looking into what I want to do next. This was way easier than using a bunch of Mason jars like I used to do. This was per

We're very pleased with our fermentation crock! It arrived in perfect condition, and is sturdy and well-made. We haven't tried it for sauerkraut yet, but we have used it several times to make kimchi. It works great and cleans up very nicely, too!

How is the Crock

So far fantastic. I am two days into my first batch of Saur Kraut and the 2 GAL is a fantastic size. Cleaning was easy before the first use. I plan to do a batch of cucumber Kimchi Next but love how the lid design works compared to a smaller German brand I have. I bought a 3 Gal prior and is very big compared to the 2 Gal. Should be set for awhile unless I buy another 2 Gal. Definitely a nice size.

Excellent Customer Service

I pre-ordered a water seal fermentation crock that was on back-order. A pizza stone was delivered a few days later. I contacted customer service about the mistake, and they responded and shipped the crock the same day even though it was still listed on backorder on the website. I received it a few days later. It was well packaged. Since it is a gift, I have not tried it out yet. But I will definitely be ordering from them again in the future. Highly recommend.

Great product

I decided to graduate from Mason jar batches of sauerkraut to a real fermentation crock and I was not disappointed. The crock was shipped quickly and packaged very well. It is attractive and I love that it is made in the USA. I just finished my first batch of kraut and I am so happy with the results. I recommend this water sealed crock.
