I have been pondering the use of croc vs glass containers....
It seems there are those who are adamant that the best 'kraut is made in a croc, I wonder if this is to do with the thick walls and larger volume holding conditions more steady in the vessel as compared to thinner walls and typically lower volume of glass jars?
Could it be in part that people often graduate from jar to croc as they become more experienced and so they are just more successful fermenters when they start using the croc?
I have concerns about crocs having read several reports of cracks in the glaze leading to mould problems, questions over whether the glaze itself is safe.
Not to mention the problems of those porous weights
I wonder if the perfect vessel would be a glass croc, with glass weights?
Until I find such a thing I may just stay with my wire clip sealed jars, glass just seems safer than a ceramic pot where I cant see what's going on inside?
But I am a novice and would really welcome the thoughts of more experienced fermenters if anyone would like to share?
