Overview
Fermentation Lid with Airlock 86 mm Plastic Lid for Wide-Mouth Canning Jars for Fermenting Vegetables

The fermentation lid with airlock transforms a standard wide-mouth canning jar into a practical container for home fermentation of vegetables. The lid has a diameter of 86 mm and is designed for wide-mouth Mason jars. It is made from food-safe plastic, making it suitable for sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, carrots, or hot sauces. The airlock allows gases produced during fermentation to escape from the jar while preventing air from entering the contents. This enables you to ferment vegetables at home easily and without complicated equipment.

The airlock fits into the hole in the centre of the lid, which is equipped with a silicone ring. Inside the airlock is a chamber for water, which should be filled to about halfway. Gases from fermentation bubble through the water, but outside air cannot reach the fermenting vegetables. The top of the airlock is covered by a removable cap, which protects the water in the chamber from dust and debris. Next to the hole, a small stopper is attached to a loop, which can be used to seal the hole when the airlock is removed. The side edge of the lid is ribbed all around, making it easy to grip when screwing on or off.

  • Type – fermentation lid with airlock
  • Lid Diameter – 86 mm
  • Compatibility – wide-mouth Mason canning jars
  • Material – food-safe plastic and silicone ring
  • Airlock – with water chamber and removable cap
  • Usage – fermenting cabbage, kimchi, pickles, carrots, and other vegetables
  • Contents – 1 fermentation lid with silicone ring and 1 airlock, jar not included

First, fill the jar with vegetables prepared for fermentation, leaving at least 3 cm of free space between the surface of the contents and the bottom end of the airlock. Then securely screw the lid onto the jar, insert the airlock into the hole, and pour water into its chamber to about halfway. During fermentation, regularly check the water level in the airlock and top it up as needed. Once fermentation is complete, you can remove the airlock, seal the hole with the small stopper on the loop, and store the jar in a cool place.

The fermentation lid with airlock is a simple way to start home fermentation of vegetables in canning jars you already have at home. It screws onto wide-mouth Mason jars, and the airlock with a water seal allows gases produced during fermentation to escape. You will appreciate the lid when preparing sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, and fermented carrots. The ribbed edge makes handling easier, and the small stopper on the loop allows you to seal the hole after removing the airlock. It is a practical accessory for anyone wanting to prepare fermented vegetables at home.
