My mother fermented years and years ago.
I remember the 5 gallon crock was below the phone in the dinning room.
She was always doing something with that crock.
It may have even been a ten gallon crock.
I remember one time we are in Arkansas at a shop and the had a big 100 gallon crock for sale.
It must have been the forst thing she saw when we went in.
This was back in I think 1968 and I remember seeing her eyes glaze over when she saw it.
The huge thing had a price tag of $100 on it.
Back in 68 $100 was a lot of money and we didn't get it for thagt reason and it wouldn't fit in the car.
All she could talk about was that 100 gallon crock.
Last night I had the same feeling as she did I was looking on line some place and found a 40 liter crock for $365.95.
Not gonna get it but it made me think about my mother and that 100 gallon crock.
It made me realize just how much her and I were alike.
If I were to buy any more crock the would be small crocks and have a line of them all bubbling away.
Here is the 40 liter fermenting crock.
Now that I look at the dimensions of the 40 liter crock of 25 high by 18 wide my moms was a 10 gallon crock.
40 liters is about 10 1/2 gallons.
The little 5 liter crocks hold about 1.3 gallons and weight about 12 pounds.
The 40 liter weights 70 pounds.
