Cheap( <$60) terracotta or other high-porosity unglazed 1-2 gallon crock and lid, or suggestions where to buy such things? I need the lip of the pot to be the same diameter as the base. I don't want to spend $100 for this shit...

Ace hardware sell Ohio Stoneware crocks. I use them for kombucha and kraut. If I were buying another specifically for kraut I'd probably get a german K&K with the airlock.

Oh sorry I ignored the unglazed requirement. Disregard.

yeah, I am aging pu erh tea, so I need some airflow, without sucking out all of the humidity from the bodeva packets. Maybe there is a cheaper method, but I heard doing this works well.

Maybe I could use the pot and find some cork lid

Godspeed. Keep us updated in /tea/. I'll try to start a fresh batch of puerbucha tonight.

Why do you want to put food in unglazed ceramics

look up a pottery studio and make your own

why are modern """men""" so weak that they would rather buy a literal unglazed clay pot than just go make one to their own specifications

zisha tea canisters has been done for centuries to store and age white and pu-erh teas.

First, I'm not a potter. Secondly, I'm frugal, not a broke-ass bitch like you

Been mulling this over. What do you think of an Ohio with a bed/layers of Raw Hydrostones. Terracotta for keeping bud moist. Might be a little pricey(unless you could pick up a whole retail box at a discount) but it would let you really dial in your suck. Or you know just go buy and break a pot and do the same thing.

I think I'm going to get an ohio, and get a unfinished wood. I also have some bodeva packs laying around. The air exchange from the wood lid, and the bodeva packets should provide ideal RH and airflow for compact pu erh aging

So you want a pot so you can smoke some pot?
