Weights options to keep fruits from floating?
I place fruits into cheesecloth and entire conception floats. What is the accepted way to keep it from floating? Like weight...rock? marble?

Lead weights, keep the mead sweet.
Jokes aside, a glass tumbler works great.

Pickling stones/weights work fine for me.

I don't really see a point unless you're just aging a long time on the fruit? I'm punching down / de-gassing 2-3 times a day until primary and secondary are done.

Get a few glass marbles, sanitize them and add 2-3 per sack.

Whiskey stones. Food safe marbles.
