🥒 Easy Fermenter Fermentation Kit - Make Sauerkraut, Kimchi, Pickles & More with Wide Mouth Fermenting Lids - Ideal Gift for Thanksgiving & Christmas (Jars Not Included) Review

Please note: This is my LONG TERM rating. I bought this product in 2017 and have been using it ever since. Firstly, I love the concept of this product. This is a great idea for vacuum fermentation. It was one of the first companies to launch this product and now there are many fakes. The problem I have found is that if I don't tighten the lid securely on the top of the jar, the lid WILL NOT LEAK. seal against the glass of the stein, which could result in the vacuum leaking out or not forming at

I ordered a set of 3 with a pump and received it immediately. Cabbage was on sale around St. Patrick's Day, so I immediately started fermenting it into sauerkraut. I've been making sauerkraut in jars for years, but I've never had lids like this. In the past there was a mess, and on several occasions the sauerkraut became moldy and unusable. In addition, sauerkraut fermented for a very long time and never seemed very acidic. I dated the lids and after 15 days I decided to open one and see how it

I started fermenting about a year ago. I started out with stone cans and would spit them out every day, sometimes twice a day. I considered using standard airlocks (ones that use water) but found they can be messy. One day I came across these covers. At first they seemed too good to be true. I've never had to pop open my cans and there hasn't been a mess with water bubbles. I decided to try them. I was surprised how easy they are to use and how well they work. Exactly as advertised. No mess, no

While I love the convenience of these wide venting mason jar lids compared to other food fermenting options available, one of my three lids broke after just one use. I can see the light clearly through the center of the vent valve which means it's completely useless because it can't prevent oxygen from getting into my ferment. I was excited after my first batch of kimchi came out perfect, so I quickly made another. I hand washed the Easy Fermenter Lids thoroughly and placed them on the prepared

Sorry, these covers are no longer available. I'm thinking about the fermentation project next year. I was very new to fermenting anything until I started looking for ways to preserve my donuts/pickles I grew last summer. I found all the information I needed and more on [.]. And when you join the Fermentation Club, you'll have access to all kinds of recipes, questions and answers, and MUCH more information from the people who do it. for years. I was very happy to find this website and all the…

It saves you time and money. I have been brewing and fermenting beer for over 25 years. When I first started fermenting veggies I had the idea of using a three piece sluice similar to what is used in brewing. I had six jars with drilled lids for the lock and seal. The next time I went to Revain for more caps, this product was one of the recommendations they gave me. After reading the description and reviews I was still loyal to my Gateways but also interested. I bought a set of 3 to test them…

This product is absolutely fantastic and the customer service is the best I have come across on the internet. I've just decided that tonight I'm going to throw away my three piece castles in the air and utterly useless plastic cup liners I used before. I will also add some photos of my current enzymes. I've been using the Easy Fermenter Wide Mouth Lid Kit with a pump for about 2 months now and am very impressed. I used Ball Mason liter and half gallon cans with these lids for reference and…

UPDATE 4/27/2017 I was very happy to only purchase a set of four caps. Last fall I had 9 lids from 3 kit orders and I gave one and the pump to a friend who wanted to try the fermentation. I have also ordered four more jar weights and when my 8 current enzymes are ready I will have 12 lids suitable for the growing season. Every enzyme I've made since last summer has been a success, with the unfortunate exception of half a gallon of cucumbers this winter. It got moldy and had to be thrown away :(
