Kilner 5 Litre Fermentation Set

I am reviewing the 5-piece fermentation set. Examining the jar, you can tell it's well made but I had a few questions so I had to contact the manufacturer who is located in England. Firstly, there is a floating cup inside the airlock, which I was confused about. The rubber bung is the stopper, and the airlock is the tube section and within it is a thinner tube. You put on the wooden lid, and then push the bung and airlock which are one piece into the hole. The floating cup sits on top of the thinner tube inside the airlock. You fill the airlock 1/2 to 3/4 to the top of the floating cup with water and then put the lid back on. There are tiny holes in the airlock lid that releases the fermentation gases. That was not in the instructions, so I thought I'd mention that. Also I didn't have enough produce to fill the jar so I placed a cabbage leaf on top of my jalapenos and then placed the stones on the cabbage leaf, because the jalapenos were floating up and around the stones. I am including a picture of that and the airlock. I just started my ferment and it's supposed to take only 5 to 7 days so I will report back after that. ****By day 4 I felt they were sufficiently fermented and put them in the fridge, in a mason jar with just a lid, but kept the cabbage leaf which now can keep them submerged without the stones. They will continue to slowly ferment since it's cold and hopefully will last me a while.****

I purchased this fermentation set for my cousin at her request. She had purchased the same product at an Amish market to make sauerkraut in and wanted another one. The kit arrived quickly and complete. The jar has a large mouth for easy access to add your ingredients and cleaning. The kit works wonderfully as expected. She uses the included recipe for sauerkraut and it is delicious. The jar makes it easy!

I really love this fermentation jar! Everything looks high-quality, well-made, and thoughtfully designed. It’s very convenient to use, and you can tell the product is made with care and good materials. Unfortunately, one set arrived missing a single part. I contacted the seller, and the customer service was excellent. The seller responded very quickly, was very kind, and immediately offered a solution. They were ready to send me a replacement, but since the item was temporarily out of stock, I received a full refund. Despite this small issue, I am extremely satisfied with both the product and the seller’s service. I truly liked this jar and will definitely order it again. Highly recommend!

I debated getting this for a while. I'm glad I got it. The glass is very thick and it the best packaged I've received from Amazon. It was packed with thick bubble wrap, paper wrap, and cardboard fitted around the neck of the jar - inside of an additional box. I appreciate that, because I was worried about breakage. Looking forward to and will be very proud to be giving it as a gift.

This worked out perfectly for my purposes

Love the jar but I did not like that i did not have a lid to close after ferment was done. My silicon top popped up but i'm sure it was not sealed all the way. I will look closer on my second ferment.

Arrived in perfect condition haven’t used it for its intended purpose, more later.

This is very easy to use, currently making sauerkraut in it, the silicone is easy to manipulate , and it has a nice shape to the container

Muy útil y fácil de usar.

Amazing product. Very thick glass and looks durable.

I’m in love with this one. Such good quality! Love the weights and its finish. The jar is big enough to make sauerkraut for a long time, which I love. Had to buy one for my sister too!

Excellent for fermentation
