Although we advise fermenting sauerkraut in a ceramic fermentation pot, there are some customers who would like to try fermenting smaller batches of sauerkraut before committing to a ceramic fermentation pot. Hence offering a sauerkraut kit. 

The reasons why we recommend fermenting in a ceramic fermentation pot over glass:

• The ceramic pots keep the ferment at a stable temperature as they are less affected by temperature changes/swings. 
• The ceramic pot keeps the ferment more stable over a longer period of time as sauerkraut is ideally fermented for several weeks. 
• The ceramic pot does not allow light in
• The ceramic pot has a specifically designed moat to further minimize any air entering the pot despite temperature and air pressure changes throughout the day and night. 
• Due to the longer and more stable fermentation process in a ceramic pot, the fermented sauerkraut is often more flavoursome.
