About this barrel

Fermenting in an oak barrel with lid for pickles is an old way of making cucumbers, cabbage and tomatoes. An independent eBay seller lists this wooden fermentation bucket new at $143.90. The title says 3L-5L but the listing says 3.0L, so check the exact size before you order.

Why ferment pickles in a wooden barrel instead of glass?

Oak adds a little tannin, which many picklers say helps keep vegetables crisp. It also adds a light woody flavor that glass can't give you.

• Soak the barrel in water before the first use so it swells tight.
• Keep the vegetables under the brine. Check if a weight or press is included.
• It's good for sauerkraut, pickled cucumbers or small batches of kimchi.
• Your purchase is covered by the eBay Money Back Guarantee.
