Airlock Lid for Half Gallon Jars
$14.99 – $16.99
Free Shipping over $99!
(Jar not included)
This airlock lid is a great way to culture your veggies. You don't need airlocks to ferment - but it is my favorite way to ferment veggies because they taste better. There are two sizes to choose from depending on your style of jar. The 1/2 Gallon "Tall" Jar uses the 86mm lid. The 1/2 Gallon "Short" Jar uses the 110mm lid. This special airlock lid will convert your half-gallon jar into an airlock fermenter!
Fermenting with an airlocks helps with several things.
- Better tasting veggies.
- Less chance of the Kahm yeast that can develop and make your veggies taste bad.
- Release pressure/ gas naturally and allows veggies to ferment and stay crisper.

- Before you begin, wash your lids and airlocks in hot soapy water and dry them.
- Prepare your vegetables and place in your canning jars, fill with the appropriate amount of water and culture.
- Remove the clear plastic cap from the top of the airlock. Fill the airlock with water about halfway up the plastic tube.
- Place the cap back on the airlock once you filled it with water and place the airlock in the grommet on the airlock lid, pushing down till the airlock is securely in the grommet.
- Screw the lid on the jar and tighten the lid firmly to prevent air from entering the jar.
