OK, I let some kimchi go for a couple months too long and now the weights from my harsch crock stink like butt and feet even though i've washed them, soaked them in bleach solution, sanitizer, left them outside for a few days. They seemed fine, but after a batch of cucumber pickles, not only do they stink again, but all my new pickles now taste like butt and feet, and the weight stones stink again.
I'm looking for any advice from people who've dealt with this before or have any creative solutions. I went by a local pottery place and they said they could glaze it, if I found out how hot the stones were fired. I have heard about people using glass weights, but cant find anything bigger than 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
any help would be appreciated!
