Fermenting Lid for Mason Jar - Airlock - Stainless Steel Lid - Single Kit

This fermentation product is excellent; I have tried several brands and this one seems to be the best yet!!!! Will definitely purchase more of this product in the near future. Thanks for an excellent fermentation product.

This product is not worth $20. It also claimed to come with 1lb of Himalayan salt, mine did NOT. This product should cost no more than $5. If it contained the salt, maybe $10. Total waste of money. Would have been better off making my own kit with common household items.Update: I contacted the seller in regards to the missing Himalayan salt. The seller was rude and made all sorts of excuses. I took a screen shot (shared here), showing the product DESCRIPTION containing the salt. The seller came back with "well there is no salt in the picture." Really? Just a little analogy here; If a WRITTEN description of a product says "batteries included" but doesn't put the batteries in the photo, the buyer, in good faith believes the product contains the batteries! (If we are basing our purchases off photos only, I have a package of chicken ankle bands in orange, red, and yellow of which the photo of the item I bought was red, white and blue - but, you see, I read the product DESCRIPTION and it stated that the color bands received may not match the photo. It's called COMMUNICATION.) The seller then came back with "well, I have two kits, you must have decided to buy the cheaper one." I didn't even realize there were two kits! I typed in my general search, this listing came up, I read the WRITTEN description, thought it sounded like what I wanted, so I purchased it! If you have two different products you need to have two different, CLEAR, written descriptions. So buyer be warned, this guy, the seller, is a real jerk.Since this guy was such a jerk about his product, I'd also like to share how you can MAKE this product yourself for about $1. After e-mailing back and forth with this guy, I was on a mission. I popped into my local Home Depot (but I suspect just about any store that carries similar type items would carry these) and purchased an 8 pack of 3/8' grommets. The pack of 8 cost me $3.25. I happen to live in the Great Lakes region of PA, and unbeknownst to much of the outside world, it is wine/brewery country. So I stopped in one of the cute little wine shops and purchased 4 airlocks, for 64 cents each. You can easily find them online for similar prices. Then I went home, took a canning jar with lid and rings, drilled a hole in the center of the lid using a 3/8" drill bit (a metal punch would have been preferable, but my drill worked just fine - I just used a dremel to make sure there were no sharp pieces), inserted the 3/8" rubber gasket, then inserted my airlock. Perfect! So, as you can see, I can make 8 of these things for roughly $8.37, that is roughly $1.05 per "kit". I will admit, it won't be a stainless steel lid like the one he is selling, but for the cost I'd rather make new ones when I see the need. Also, if you are curious, there are tons of ideas online for weights - cabbage core, thick apple slice, you may even already have your own glass or ceramic weights. So, if you are looking for the convenience of someone else doing it for you, go ahead and buy it. If you want to save a little money, and not deal with a jerk, do it yourself!

Really nice starter kit. Exactly what I wanted and a good price.

I am very happy with this purchase. I am learning to ferment and this product just makes it so much easier.

Can't wait to make some kraut with this.
