Artcome Glass Fermentation Weights for Large Wide Mouth Mason Jars

Artcome Glass Weights: The Ultimate Solution for Successful Fermentation!

Fermentation is an anaerobic process, which means it takes place in the absence of oxygen. The lack of oxygen and the high acidity of the brine solution create the perfect environment for the fermentation process to thrive, deterring the growth of mold-causing microorganisms.

However, the air present inside the jar is not entirely devoid of oxygen. As the veggies float on the water due to their relatively higher density, the section above the water level remains vulnerable to mold growth. This is where Artcome Glass Weights come into play.

Once you've submerged your to-be-pickled food items in the brine solution, you need to place these weights before applying the airlock lid. This ensures that the food stays below the water level during the entire process, maintaining the anaerobic environment essential for the growth of beneficial bacteria (lactic acid bacteria) and inhibiting mold and undesirable bacteria.

The Importance of Adequate Glass Weights

Using a heavy glass weight is crucial for safe fermentation and preventing mold growth. Artcome's glass weight is a substantial 200g, which helps keep the shredded cabbage (or other fermentable ingredients) submerged under the brine.

Without adequate glass weight, the cabbage can float above the brine, exposing it to oxygen and increasing the risk of mold contamination, which can spoil the sauerkraut (or any other fermented product). The glass weight plays a critical role in maintaining the conditions necessary for successful fermentation and ensuring a safe and tasty final product.

Convenient and Easy to Use

Artcome's glass weights are designed with a raised handle, making them easy to grip and manipulate. To prevent brine splashing, you can use the included silicone tongs to slowly place the glass weight in and gently remove it from the bottle mouth.

These weights are cut from sheets of high-quality tempered soda-lime glass, the same material as Mason jars, but with added durability and safety features. Depending on the jar's fullness, you can use one or more glass weights to ensure the perfect anaerobic environment for your fermentation.
