Premium Easy Wide-Mouth Fermenting Kit: Waterless Airlock Fermenter Lids Set with Day & Month Tracker, Pump, Guide. Ferment Sauerkraut, Pickles, Probiotics. Time Saver (Farmhouse White, 6 Pack)

Below was my original review, but since then the seller reached out to me and asked me to give them another chance. The new set of lids worked to perfection. Tight seals and no fizzing. I'm so glad I tried these lids again. My new batches of ferments are coming along beautifully. Plus, these particular lids are cheaper than other comparable lids. Win-Win. Lemons happen, but the seller was great about making things right. Original review: I love to ferment foods, so I'm familiar with the process. I already have a set of fermenting lids similar to this one, but I decided to try this brand. I'm not sure if I got a lemon or if these lids simply aren't as good, but I've had trouble with three out of six lids. The silicone part does not seal properly. I did a batch of fermented garlic and the odor was overwhelming because the seals were loose. On two of the jars, they would bubble constantly outside the lid. I finally changed the lids to the other brand and the problem disappeared. I hate to return them because other than the seals being inconsistent, I do like them. They're easy to use. Still it does me no good to pay for six lids when only three of them do their job. I'd like to hear from the seller if they have an answer.

I ordered my first set of six and have made fermented salsa, pickles and kraut. These are so easy to use, I love the shorter profile, the jars tuck away easier than my older fermenting kits with the tall attachments. I usually pump 7-8 times pulling the air out. I've had no mold issues and I do like the date tracking feature on top. I ended up ordering a second set for myself and a set for my parents who also enjoy fermenting!

It’s good easy to use and does what it supposed to without consternation.

Bought these for making fermented vegetable's made Curry Cauliflower and Kimchi flavored Cauliflower so far and came out great. A little difficult at time to get lids off but has nice handles on lids to make it easier. Silicone seals and air vents are really nice. Great product for experimenting, since you don't have to make a large quantity like I do with my Kimchi fermenter.

The material the lids are made of is really good. The little pump air extractor is a tad stupid to use as it doesn't suck out as much air as I'd think it should per pump so several pumps are required to do the job properly. Once pressure builds up it will come out on its own but the air extractor will pull bubbles up from the bottom without having to shake or tap the jar. The calendar on the lid is very handy when timing the fermentation time. The threads fits my jars and are NOT prone to cross threading which is GOOD and much better than regular metal jar lids.

I thought of making sauerkraut from scratch. I did not try the recipe from online, because the product comes with some recipes, including sauerkraut. Well, you need a magnifier to read the tiny print of the recipe. I guess they are printed so tiny to reduce costs. So I bought red cabbage and followed the recipe. The kit does not have weights. I have to buy them separately (weights are needed to keep the cabbage under the liquid). Wow, the sauerkraut turned very good and far superior than store-bought one. The taste is far complex. Thanks for making great products.

I’ve been using these for a good while now. Try them. You won’t be disappointed. My tips: if you tend to shake your jars occasionally then remove the lid afterwards n clean it up. It gets bits on the center seal and won’t hold a vacuum. Not a defect. Just something you gotta do to keep it clean. Also not cleaning it will get it gummed up n potentially stick shut making the lid hard to remove. Again. Keep it clean and no problems. Much better than metal lids that rust. Lastly. The company’s service is first class. You email them, they address it immediately. Buy their lid remover tool to make life easier. UPDATE: I’ve been using these for about 4 years now. It’s just simple. Many times I don’t even suction out the air if my contents are submersed. I have yet to have a failed ferment but that depends on your salt content. Just ordered more.

I'm new to fermenting and these lids have helped me make multiple great ferments without worrying about burping my jars daily and with no mold growth. The big issue I've found is that they cling to the odor of your ferment and tend to smell pretty strongly regardless of how much you clean them after their first use. I'm also a little unhappy with the durability of the date tracking rings as I've already had one ring pop off while soaking my lids in hot water trying to combat the aforementioned smell. These lids are nice and useful but not perfect.

The product is made very well and it fits the jars perfectly. I was sceptical about this purchase but I wanted to try it out. I am glad I did. I made a small batch of sourkraught. it turned out very well. The little pump makes all the difference.

Exactly right for the job of fermenting and makes the process much faster and easier

These lids work perfectly. I had no problem with fermented vegs and eggs, and I have sauerkraut and dill pickles bubbling away. They'll be ready in two days. The lids are very well made and should last for years.

i did not had good fermentation with it, may just me and not the product.

Great product, easy to use. Love the pressure release valve and the suction pump features. Successfully fermented kimchi, sauerkraut (18 days), kvass, peppers. All turned out great. No evaporation issues with my sauerkraut. Love the low profile lids and easy all in one storage. One flaw: cheap quality date system that pops off easily because it’s too loose.
