\"\"<\/a>Homesteader’s Supply designed the “Pickle Pro” <\/a>– a fermenting jar with an airlock to allow gases out without letting air in. These great containers are still available on the Homesteader’s Supply site.
We did have some customers who understood the need for a glass container to ferment in, but didn’t want to pay the shipping to get a heavy glass jar across the country.
The solution sort of snuck up on us…. create a fermenting seal out of a food \"\"<\/a>grade wide mouth canning jar lid and drill out the hole for the grommet and add the airlock. This new Pickle Pro lid<\/a> fits any wide mouth canning jar and is ideal for those who don’t necessarily need the gallon jar size. Wardeh, the fermenting wizard with GNOWFGLINS (http:\/\/gnowfglins.com\/<\/a>) tested the new air lock system and gave it a thumbs up which made us very happy!!!<\/p>\n

Our first run of drilling the lids made us realize that the jig needs to be squared up a bit, some of the grommets are a bit off center. This doesn’t change the quality of the product… just gives it a unique twist!!! We did notice that the plastic canning lids that we use for the new fermenting jars have a flaw from the pouring process… we’re working with the manufacturer on a solution but the seal is true even with the small chink in the plastic… best we can figure out, they are from the molding of the lids out of hot plastic.<\/p>\n

If you have ordered one and have tried it, please let us know how you like it!!!! For those with the original Pickle Pro… let us know how you’re enjoying that product too!!<\/p>\n

Thanks and wishing all of you a Happy New Year!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
