Overview
Fermentation Lid with Airlock 86 mm for Wide Mouth Mason Jars Metal Lid with Transparent Valve for Vegetable Fermentation

The fermentation lid with airlock transforms a standard preserving jar into a practical container for home vegetable fermentation. The lid has a diameter of 86 mm for wide mouth jars and screws onto the jar just like a traditional lid. In the centre, there is a securely fitted transparent airlock that releases gases from the jar during fermentation. This keeps the jar sealed, allowing the contents to ferment quietly without the need for constant opening and venting. It is suitable for sauerkraut, pickled cucumbers, kimchi, carrots, peppers, and other fermented vegetables.

The airlock operates on a simple water seal principle. Fill the chamber of the airlock with water to about halfway. The gases produced during fermentation build up pressure under the lid, pass through the water in the chamber, and escape through small holes in the top cap. Air from outside cannot enter the jar as it is blocked by the water. You can observe the entire process thanks to the transparent plastic and easily check if there is still enough water in the airlock.

Compared to covering the jar with a cloth or using a loosely placed lid, the airlock provides a sealed environment in which fermentation occurs evenly. You do not need to open the jar every day to release built-up pressure, as the valve does this for you. The lid is suitable for beginners who are just starting with fermentation, as well as for experienced DIY enthusiasts who prepare multiple batches at once and want to keep individual jars neatly under control.

When filling the jar, leave at least 3 cm of free space between the vegetables and the lid so that gases can accumulate beneath the lid and the brine does not rise to the airlock. Keep the vegetables submerged in the brine and top up the water in the airlock as needed during fermentation. Once fermentation is complete, simply unscrew the lid, wash it in warm water, and prepare for the next batch. Thoroughly rinse the airlock after use to prevent dirt from settling in the chamber. The finished fermented vegetables can then be sealed in the jar with a regular lid and stored in a cool place.

The 86 mm fermentation lid is a simple aid for anyone who wants to prepare fermented vegetables at home without special fermentation pots. Just screw it onto a preserving jar and pour water into the airlock. Thanks to the water seal, gases escape while air stays out. The lid can be reused for cabbage, cucumbers, kimchi, and your own recipes, and due to the diameter of 86 mm, it easily pairs with corresponding Mason jars.
