Review on 🍾 Jillmo 2 Liter Fermentation Jar Kit with Weights and Airlocks – Set of 2 by Angela Cooper

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Weights not wide enough

I used a 3 liter Kirner fermentation jar. I needed more but they were sold out. I tried it. That's fine, but the weight is 1 part, not the 2 parts Kilner uses. The problem with 1 piece is that it has to be narrow enough to fit in the jar (the opening/rim of the jar is not as wide as the jar itself). When you place a charge, it doesn't cover the entire width of the can unless it's at the very top. If you don't fill the jar with enough veggies/other to go all the way to the top, the weight won't hold the small items, they will climb around the load and then just float to the top. brine. Aggravating. The Kilner 2 piece weight doesn't have that problem, it works much better no matter how much stuff you put in the can.

Pros
  • Home Brewing & Winemaking
Cons
  • Faulty
