🌱 Fermentology Simply Sauer Fermentation Starter Set - Designed for Wide Mouth Mason Jars - Complete with Weights, Lids, and Pump Review

The husband makes. Lots of fermentation and usually uses a shard. He bought this item to ferment small batches of things. He says it works great and we bought 2 more as gifts for other family members.

I've never tried fermenting before and found this kit on Amazon. I bought a set of two lids and immediately got a batch of pickles into production. In just six days, the pickles were perfect! I had no problems at all! I loved the kit so much that yesterday I ordered a four capsule kit to ferment and share with my family. Excellent goods!

My main problem, the pump just doesn't work, never worked. We've been busy lately, the kids will use it anyway. Second, they don't fit well, they feel like they don't make flat contact at the top of the can, you can feel the cross threads. Third, the silicone ring/seal that fits between the lid and is simple, easy to tear, flip and very easy to lose.

Easy to use and practical. As soon as I received this product I washed the lids, glass weights and pump and within minutes I was cooking sauerkraut. All I had to do was fill the jars with cabbage, insert a jar weight, pour in salt mixture, screw on the gas outlet cap and pump out excess air with a pump. After 5 days I had a delicious fermented treat. After the first batch was ready, I set about making delicious pickles.

It's basically a set and forget element. THE! NO more worrying and wondering if you "burped" your pots, that day is done automatically. You want to test your product to make sure it's ready. Do that! Then repeat the steps, reattach the top and evacuate the introduced air. It could not have been better, all wishes fulfilled.

I have many fermenters and tools but this one is solid, use it with Simply Sauer glass weights and you can't go wrong. I create a little vacuum first to remove the oxygen and when the fermentation is over I use the vacuum again to keep the evil out. This is perfect for removing some cabbage etc for flavor and then pulling the vacuum out which removes the oxygen as there is no longer producing CO2 to push the oxygen back out. I will definitely be buying more of these and glass weights. I also…

This is the perfect set of parts for making fermented pickles. Easy to use. The glass weights are smooth and flawless and fit perfectly in a wide mouth jar to keep your food submerged in brine. I've never fermented before, but this set made me feel safe. I knew there was an airlock in the room to keep my food out of the air. Having never fermented before, this made me nervous. The pump was a fun little activity. Every night I pumped it up a bit and watched all the bubbles rise to the top. I…

I've been using these to ferment peppers since 2018 and they are fantastic. The plastic holds up well (I don't use the dishwasher as the high heat can ruin the plastic and rubber valve). And I accidentally broke just one handle by over tightening. Unlike some other foods, bell peppers ferment better (and safer) in an oxygen-free environment, and this kit does the job. I use jars along with lids that allow me to ferment a lot or a little depending on the size of the jar (wide opening). The pump…
