Fermentation Jar, 2.5 Liter Glass Pickle Jar with Water Seal Lid | Clear Glass, Food Grade, Fermentation Kit for Making Pickles Kimchi, Sauerkraut, Wine Brewing

I used them to make wine 👏🏻

Love fermentation jars like this, but the opening is a bit on the small side. Great for smaller food items.

My friend showed me this and said she wanted to start fermenting things. This was adorable and pretty. So far she loves it.

This is just as described - a fat glass jar with a lid. The lid fits easily into a trough (designed to hold water to create a seal). Quality of the thing is 5-stars, but the design isn't ideal. I've been unable to figure out how to cleanly put water into the lid trough - maybe a water dropper would work but I don't have anything like that. And the neck of the jar is WAY too small for my hand, much less my wrist, to get inside. Very difficult to get the kimchi out of the jar. VERY difficult. Maybe very very long chopsticks could work (I only have the usual dinner-size chopsticks). I don't own a long serving-type spoon that'll fit into the jar. I do have one super-narrow wooden spoon I can get through the neck of the jar, but it won't hold more than a leaf... So... It's a well-made product but super-difficult for me to actually use. Maybe I could get my hand inside to serve food or clean the thing if I were a pre-school kid, but I'm an adult... If anybody wants to try mine, come and get it!

Very nice. Water well works great. Very nice looking full!

I have been making my own sauerkraut, pickles, and Kimchi for many years. I usually use wide mouth mason jars, but I decided to try this instead of having to divide up a whole head of cabbage between a bunch of jars. I did not think this through. Normal weights do not fit through the narrow neck, neither will a (clean) hand. It is a beautiful jar, but you want to prepare your brine and use small weights. Too much work to feed cabbage into it in small bits. I gave it four stars because it’s not the jar’s fault I am lazy. Probably a better fit for liquid ferments.

The jar can fit 2 heads of napa cabbage if you pre-brine them, then rinse and press the cabbage. Mix the kimchi paste or NOH mix in to cabbage, shredded carrots and spring onion then pack it tightly into the jar. Put on lid and fill rim with water. To start fermenting process leave it out in dark area or covered with a towel for 3 days before moving to fridge.

Small opening I could barely fit my hand inside, much less a weight of any kind. Might have been ok if I had little kid hands, but I don’t. Had to return it.
