Questions & Answers

What are the chances of making mead from these?

It's likely they could do it. Having said that, you won't get carbonation in mead with these because any carbonation bubbles will escape through the top, resulting in flat mead, beer, and kombucha (I didn't get carbonation), which I know from experience. Lids such as these are meant for fermented apple cider vinegar or fermented fruits and vegetables that do not contain fizz. Using them will prevent both the fermenting foods from exploding and oozing out of the Since I've never made mead, I presume you want it to be fizzy like beer? In other words, Grosch beer bottles are the best to use. If my kombucha takes as long as mine does, it will take several days for it to carbonate. You should also not burp them as this will result in a flat fizz. You can buy these bottles on Amazon from a variety of vendors. You will need to pay between $14 and $15 for six 15 oz bottles. It is between 00 and 18 hours. The fizziness they provide is worth the $9.95 price per box. The Grosch bottles come in a number of sizes as well, but short broad Grosch bottles fit better in the fridge compared to long narrow bottles. We wish you the best of luck and hope this was helpful. Please include me in your email updates, Maureen

Is it appropriate to remove this lid and place a regular, wide mouth lid in its place when the fermentation process is complete?

There is no need to keep the venting process running after the fermentation process is complete. Removing the lid and moving the jar to the refrigerator is the last step. Soapy water should be used to clean venting lid parts.

For sterilizing the seals, how should it be done?

All of the components of my fermentation equipment are sterilized with StarSan.

It's hard to find a better fermentation lid than this
5/5

An air-conditioning system They are good for storing vegetables (no mush or mold) and easy to clean in the I have used these fermentation lids for many years. They are the best I have used! Once fermentation has completed, the bottle should be covered and you do not need to disturb the fermentation. The best by far when it comes to food safety and microbial activity. Using the expertise of someone with a PhD in food science and a particular interest in.

A good tool, but you have to pick and choose
3/5

We have been making sauerkraut and fermented cucumber pickles for more than 20 years. Experience in the chemistry of metals. These fermenting lids seal well, with both silicone and an airlock grommet that work well to keep air out. In spite of the previous reviews, the airlocks are similar to many three-part designs sold through home brewer suppliers and are never to be sterilized in boiling water (brewing cleaners and sanitizers are the usual cleaning agents), as noted in the instructions. According to this version of the airlock, there are no guides that describe how far to fill the airlock to ensure proper operation and to avoid the solution from being sucked back into the fermentation when it There are a variety of stainless steels and all have different chemical resistance levels. Therefore, the ones I received may be stainless, but they are not as I While I have had no issues with the sauerkrauts or kimchis with which I have used these, it appears that their use will require them to be selective about what they are used for and what would need a plastic lid to be used.

I like this fermentation kit a lot
5/5

Thank you so much for selling them to me. There is a rubber ring/seal underneath the lids to make them airtight, four extra grommets are included, and they have a rubber seal, which keeps things airtight. The purchase was a good one for me. Now that I have four containers fermenting with these lids and airlocks, I am very pleased with them. It might be possible to make this a little cheaper by doing it yourself, but that would require sourcing everything out and doing the work yourself. Even if I knew where to find it I couldn't find it The seals on the lids. Moreover, whatever they use to machine the holes in lids, it is top-notch. Being able to drill cleanly through something such as this is not easy. For what you get, I think it's a very fair price. *Edit
Additionally, I have the BPA free plastic-lidded version and I find it to be just as good as the stainless steel. They both hold a special place in my heart. One other thing I noticed was that the grommets are different between the two kits. In the plastic lid version, a piece fits over the hole and can be used to plug it if necessary.

A new review has been published The excellent customer service I received in response to my original review has inspired me to update my rating on this product as of 12/27/2019
4/5

I received a new set of clothes from Jillmo. There will be a method other than boiling which will have to be used to sterilize the airlocks. This is the original review ***************************************************Summary This piece of equipment was useless, unusable
I boiled the airlocks, lids, and gaskets in water as I did with my fermenting equipment. It was impossible to use these cheap plastic airlocks as they melted. It was not noted anywhere in the scant instructions that came with the product that boiling water should be avoided when sterilizing the airlocks. As of now, nothing appears to have happened to the lids and gaskets. In spite of the fact that the product is useless. The company should not be bought Your fermentation equipment has to be sterilized, unless you use some other method to do so.

I really like these
5/5

They based their decision on my feedback. I really like these. After I gave Jilimo feedback on the product, they improved it. I admire their initiative to sell a good product. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a good airlock for a mason jar. Jilimo, you did a great job.

Although the lids can leak if too tight, this is a good option for consumers It was my hope that these fermentation lids would meet my expectations
3/5

Here's what I got, and I got another, too. I compared the cost, brand, and quality of these products. The lid grommet on the more expensive container is about twice as thick as the one on this one, and the container is made of plastic. This one was difficult to assemble, as it popped out when I attached it. To put the water sealed funnel fermenter into the grommet, you must hold the water seal funnel fermenter securely using both hands from both sides. A little over six hours into my ferment, I noticed that blue liquid was forming around the bottom and I had to tighten the lid even though it was still not air tight. It has a screw at the top, so I removed it, checked the gasket, replaced it, tightened it down, and then backed it off about It seems there haven't been any leaks so far. As with the more expensive kit, the top part of the fermentation kit is identical. In light of the fact that I've used them, I'll keep However, as the quality of the lid, grommet, and gasket, which make up the seal, is not up to par with the more expensive brand, I would have to say that I will not buy this Would it be possible for the plastic lids to be better quality and different? I'd like to put the 13th on my calendar. This is the first time I've purchased one. I'm going to try it out and see how it goes. Having said that, if you only want to use them once or twice, you should pay very close attention to what you are doing and be very patient. It would also be a good idea to try fermentation first if you are on a budget and are trying it out to see if it There is no problem making a few jars of whatever you are making with them. I found them to be an affordable option. There's no total loss, so that's good. Please ensure that air cannot get in but they are not too tightly sealed. Hope you find this review to be useful. I wish you the best of luck with your fermentation!.

There is a bubbling sensation in the air
5/5

The lid is sturdy steel, with a nice silicone seal, enough grommets (just in case). Cleanliness and ease of use are the main features of the airlock apparatus. Fermentation has been a great product for me, and I will buy more of it as my interest.

It's easy to use these lids
5/5

It's been a godsend to be able to use these lids as a first-time fermenter. Mason jar lids with wide mouths of pint and quart sizes fit and function perfectly when paired with these lids. Besides making kimchi and sauerkraut, I also have some tasting sauerkraut fermenting. I also hope to make hot sauce soon. When I first put it on, one of the silicone grommets tore, but I suppose that is why there are so many extras. At this price, it is an excellent product.
