5 Litre Fermentation Crock

The Excalibur 5 litre fermenting crock pot is a ceramic vessel designed for home lacto-fermentation. It suits cooks who want to preserve vegetables, make sauerkraut or prepare kimchi using a traditional water-seal method. The kit includes a handcrafted crock, a matching lid and ceramic weighing stones.

Water Moat Seal Limits

The water moat creates an airlock that lets carbon dioxide escape while blocking outside air and mould spores. It requires the moat to stay filled with water; evaporation during long ferments means the level must be checked regularly. The seal is passive and cannot be adjusted for pressure.

5 Litre Working Capacity

The 5 litre volume comfortably handles several kilograms of shredded cabbage or mixed vegetables plus brine. The included weighing stones keep solids submerged under the liquid, which is essential for consistent results. Very large single batches exceeding the rim will need a second vessel.
