Arrived promptly, good quality
These weights are perfect!
Love the glass weights. Very easy to keep everything submerged under the brine for a successful fermentation.
Fabulous weights - highly recommend. Buying 3 and getting the 4th for free is a STEAL! Many thanks
Works well, does the job as expected.
I bought these weights to use when I am infusing herbs for use in soaps and skincare. I haven't had a chance to use them yet but I think they will be perfect.
great just used making sauerkraut. everything is working well.
Great weights. Just make sure the jar has a wide neck otherwise they might not fit through.
Exactly what I needed. Sauerkraut doing great now.
Great and arrived quickly. Unfortunately had to buy some jars with bigger necks as the weights wouldn't fit into my perfit jars.
Well made, fits my large Agee jar perfectly. Shipped really quickly. Thanks!
Wonderful product. Great quality, right size and weight to do the works. Highly recommended. 👍
Glass Weight For Fermentation Jar
Great Little product works perfectly shipped fast and busy with a fermentation of Ghost peppers. Keeps everything under the salt water. Next up will be a stash of fermented veges.
Works well
My shipment arrived the very next day, excellent service and I would happily purchase again in the future from this store!!
Not really suitable
Hi DAC. We are always keen to hear from our customers so we can offer the best experience possible. Please could you elaborate as to why this was not suitable? We do list the dimensions and weight on the description with a real images of the weights so would be keen to know the reasons why your expectations were not reached so we can better support our customers.
This is so useful!
fits the 1 litre Symbiota jar perfectly and easy to remove. I bought 3 of these to use with the 3x 1 litre jars which I also purchased including airlock seals and additional screw lids. Its a great, system and perfect for the small batches I make.
Perfect for the job with a grabable knob on top which other brands don't have.
Great deal with buy 3 and get 1 free! Good quality and fits nicely in my fermentation glass bottle.
Doesn't fit in the Perfect Seal 1 Lt jar. However, it fits only in Agee Special 1Lt jar. I think the weight is not quite heavy enough for the 1Lt jar.
Hi Sheree. Sorry to hear it does not fit your jar. We have the weight dimensions and weight in the listing description to help support customers in making their decisions during the purchase. Please contact us if we could support in any way.
Great products and very happy thanks
Fantastic little weight to keep my sauerkraut under the juice..
Thanks for your feedback Heather. We are glad to hear you are enjoying the weight as much as we do!
Another purchase of these glass weights. I love the heavy weight and easy to hold handle. Just be aware that they don't fit all wide mouth jars, so it's a good idea to measure your jars before buying. They arrived very quickly.
Nice product but they did not fit my standard perseving jars
Hi Jenny. Sorry to hear these do not fit your jars. Please note the listing states the dimensions of the weight so customers can measure these against their jars. Kind regards, Symbiota
Thanks for your products they have got me down the fermentation highway , I'm not paying $15 for a jar of sauerkraut at the supermarket anymore .
Good quality weight, fits jars well
Super quick service and exactly what I needed for fermenting. Great website with awesome products. Highly recommend
I am green when it comes to preserving. I just assumed the wide mouth jars/lids/weights/screw bands were a one size fits all. But to my dismay they are not.
I got some jars from the op shop, no labels on them. The glass weights and pickle pipe lids fit perfectly but the Perfit Gold B1 Screwbands did not fit (to small). I had bottled the tomatoes when I found this out.
I did not know what to look for in regards to screw bands. Went everywhere in my small town of Tokoroa, but nothing. Went out of town to a supermarket that had one Perfit Jar/lid/green screw band sold as a kit. So I purchased it for the screw band.
Got home and found the Perfit B2 Green Screwband fit my jars, BUT the glass weights did not fit the jar I got from the supermarket. I could not believe it.
I looked on the perfit website to purchase Green screw bands, it said they only sell to supermarkets. Went to my supermarkets, they said they do not order specialty items. Finally found some on The Preserving Pan Website in Auckland. So brought online and received within 3 days. So now I need more jars but now know not to buy the Perfit wide mouth jars. Will put a glass weight and Green screw band in the car so can take with me to the op shops and do the big assessment! Hope this is helpful to someone :)
These glass weights fitted perfectly into my jars and did the job they are made for extremely well. Nice and heavy, and easy to take in and out. Very happy with my purchase.
