When fermenting vegetables, never skip the weight! Fermenting weights are crucial in keeping a vegetable fermentation safe under the brine. Often new fermenters skip the weight because they haven't yet invested in an 'official' fermentation weight. I've made this video to give 3 simple DIY fermenting weight ideas to get the job done until you're able to get some glass fermenting weights in the future.

================
⭐NOTE: There is a concern of microplastics leaching into the fermenting food when plastic objects are used as DIY weights. Some people are not comfortable with this possibility which is understandable. That is why I included a nonplastic option in the video. Option #3 does not use plastic. Also check the comments section for other nonplastic ideas given by other viewers. Happy Fermenting!
