You can use as much as two ounces of hops for a five gallon batch but one is enough to get the job done.
Rocks the right size and shape rock will make a perfect weight.

A small dish plus an additional weight place a small dish or a silicone cupcake liner on top of the prepared vegetables and weight down with a heavy object like food safe marbles pie weights or whiskey stones heavy enough to hold down your ferment.
The job of the marbles is to sink the bag of hops to the bottom of the carboy or fermentation bucket.
Be sure to boil them first for about 20 minutes to kill any competing or harmful bacteria.

Most traditional methods of lacto fermentation crocks barrels etc require keeping the produce submerged under the brine in order to protect it from bacteria that would otherwise rot the food the majority of fermenting crocks come with a weight that fits perfectly inside.

Some great ideas for fermentation weights.
Bigger marbles will probably be easier because you won t have to remove so many when you re done.
The only equipment needed is a nylon hop bag a few clean glass marbles and about an ounce of hops.
Marbles tied a in cheesecloth or muslin marbles work well because they can easily fit whatever size or shape jar you are using.
