  • Fermentaholics KrautKeeper™: The easy way to keep brine ferments hands-off and worry-free.
  • Weight + Follower in One: The KrautKeeper™ is a lightweight fermentation weight; while not a “weight” in the true sense, it serves the same purpose but relies on compression from the sidewalls to lock into place in your fermentation jar to hold veggies down. When paired with a compatible-sized jar, this flexibility allows it to apply even pressure and keep every shred of kraut, kimchi, pickles, and more fully pinned below the brine during fermentation.
  • Will It Fit My Current Jar? The KrautKeeper™ is designed for containers with an inner diameter of approximately 6.33 in. If your jar or crock’s inner diameter is larger, it will not fit. While this size is common in gallon-sized jars, there is no “universal” gallon jar—“gallon” simply refers to the volume the container holds, not the jar’s diameter. If you’re unsure, use the reference image and measure your jar to ensure it’s not over 6.33 inches in diameter before purchasing, or pair it with a Fermentaholics gallon jar.
  • Durable Silicone + Easy-Lift Handle: Reusable silicone stays securely in place; the built-in handle makes removal quick, easy, and mess-free. Dishwasher safe, and built to last through countless fermentation batches.
  • Perfect for Fermented Favorites: Great for kraut, kimchi, pickles, and other fermented vegetables, keeping everything fully submerged for consistent results.

Fermentaholics Kraut Keeper
Fermentaholics Krautkeeper™

Fermentaholics KrautKeeper™

Fermentaholics KrautKeeper™ is a simple tool that makes brine ferments easier and more reliable by keeping vegetables fully pinned below the surface. Once it’s in place, the flexible disk acts as both a follower and a weight, applying even pressure across the entire jar so shredded cabbage, kimchi mixes, pickle spears, and other vegetables stay securely under brine throughout fermentation. Keeping everything below the brine line helps limit oxygen contact, which supports cleaner, more consistent results batch after batch.

KrautKeeper™ is designed for larger batches in half-gallon and gallon jars, specifically those with a 6.3-inch inner diameter. It fits Fermentaholics gallon jars and standard 110 mm lid-opening half-gallon and 1-gallon jars. The food-safe silicone disk stays firmly in place during fermentation, and the built-in handle makes it quick to lift out when you’re ready to taste, pack, or serve. Afterward, just wash it with soap and water or run it through the dishwasher, then reuse it for your next ferment.
