I’m trying these:

I also realize that I need a much larger pickling container for pickles, as the cucumbers we’re getting from our plants are fairly big. A 3 quart jar only holds about 4 cucumbers. Yikes!
My wife got me a fermenting kit for my birthday. This includes weights and cap tops to allow air out but not in. It also includes a wood tamper. It comes with a small book, with a few recipes. Pickles, sauerkraut, Giardiniera, that’s about it. Those are my next fermentation projects.
After that, I’ll get fancier.
