ceramic crocks

ceramic crocks are great for fermenting things that need oxygen,

like kombocha tea, or cucumber seeds (for seed saving), or fun things like pickles and pickled beets, or even vinegar
I have 3 sizes from this place

and they are high fired, so they can take the lactic acid trying to dissolve them
unless you get antique ones, they are really all that are out there that are really good.
canning jars are a good second for most uses though.

make sure to cover them with a cloth securely so insects can't alter your brew (although ants seem uninterested in fermenting cucumber seeds)

and infrared kittens are not so clear at night when to far away
