Kickstart Your Kombucha Journey with Masontops Complete Starter Kit 🌱 - Deluxe Organic Scoby, Thermometer, Activating Sugar & Brewing Lid Included! Review

I was hoping to use these lids for straining kefir mushrooms. But the water literally seeps in and makes a mess. Bugs come out but if you want them to make an effort then I wouldn't recommend it

I liked them so much when they arrived I ordered another set! They work much easier than gauze and elastic. The mesh is so thin that nothing can get in, not even pesky little fruit flies. Do yourself a favor and order them, you won't regret it!

Sieves 5 stars for my milk kefir. I've been using a coffee filter for years, it makes the glass tastier. I have found that the plastic thread ring does not tighten on some liter jars, if I remove the strainer it will tighten. At first I didn't notice and decided to lift the jar by the lid and milk and kefir grains were spilled all over the counter. Using a metal threaded ring instead of a plastic ring solved the problem.

I've opened several cans of kombucha, 2 different cans and the bugs are still coming in. So now I use lids and strainers, but I added a coffee filter on top of the strainer to avoid mistakes. Have used coffee filters before and never had any problems. After adding a coffee filter to the top of the screen, I didn't notice any problems. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 is that it holds the coffee filter in place better than a rubber band and doesn't rust like standard. glass rings.

Does EXACTLY what it's supposed to do - read the NAME of the product! (Not for kefir folks!) someone else left UNFAIR a bad review saying that this lid won't weigh down their kefir. Serious?! There is a separate set of caps for the product with KEFIR in the name. This one is for KOMBUCHI only and works very well - keeps bugs out, lets oxygen through. That's all. Simple, perfect, love! No more wet, sticky coffee filters and annoying broken rubber bands. :)

I just got out my marble glasses and lost 5 half gallons of apple cider vinegar! I bought expensive organic apples and did ACV for 6 months and everything is ruined! However, all that time and space is wasted. Now I need to buy an ACV for our family for the next few months and we've spent all the money making another batch. I've been fermenting for years so I'm not new. All you do is screw it onto the jar but somehow the bugs got in and ruined all of my ACV moms and one of my kombucha moms that

I love these things! They were a turning point in making my kefir and water kefir. I used to use cloth and rubber bands, but the bands would break from time to time, and then insects would get in and so on. Pooh. Needless to say I was so excited to find them and they work amazingly. I haven't made kombucha in a while, but I think they work just as well for this. They are very well made and fit perfectly in my wide-mouth glasses. The top of the colander will also work with regular mason rings…

. (UPDATE: They are great! Just don't try to overtighten them.) They are PERFECT for my process. I'm used to brewing two gallons of kombucha a week on two different days, with each gallon batch split between two half-gallon jars. I bought four packs of these kombucha lids, so I will have two blue lids (for Tuesday's batch) and two red (for Friday's batch). These lids are a little pricey but worth it as they replace the PITA coffee filters/screw caps I used the day I wrote a new batch of…
