Set of 6 North Mountain Supply fermentation spring weights with plastic presses, each 4 inches in diameter. The food grade stainless steel spring snaps into the plastic press to keep vegetables fully submerged in brine, helping you achieve safe, consistent ferments in jars or crocks.
North Mountain Supply fermentation spring weights and plastic presses are designed to keep your vegetables submerged in brine for safer, more reliable fermentations. This set includes 6 units, each made to fit most wide mouth jars and many small fermenting vessels with a 4 inch diameter opening.
Each press features a food grade stainless steel spring that snaps securely into the plastic disc. Once assembled, the spring applies gentle downward pressure to your vegetables, ensuring that they stay below the surface of the brine throughout the fermentation process. Keeping your ingredients submerged is one of the most important steps in preventing mold and spoilage and in promoting clean, lactic acid fermentation.
The presses are easy to insert. Simply squeeze or pinch the sides slightly to compress the spring and slide the unit down into the jar on top of your packed vegetables. Once released, the spring pushes the press down to hold everything in place under the liquid.
The plastic press can be easily trimmed or cut to fit smaller jars if needed, giving you flexibility across different container sizes. This makes the set useful whether you are fermenting in wide mouth mason jars, small crocks or other specialty fermenting jars.
