Easy Fermenter XL: Simplified Fermenting In 1 Gallon Jars! Make Sauerkraut, Kimchi, Pickles Or Any Fermented Probiotic Foods. 1 Lid, Weighting System, Extractor Pump & Printed Recipe Book

I've been making my own sauerkraut and pickles for about 30 years and I think I must have used every sort of fermenting crock and system. This is the best by far. It makes the process foolproof and easy and gives me perfect ferments every time.I've had Harsh crocks and designer crocks. They look pretty but they don't do as good a job as this simple Mason jar. Crocks are heavy and hard to clean. Also, the ceramic weights that come with most crocks are unglazed and porous which means they are impossible to clean properly.This fermenter does everything just right. The glass weights are easy to clean. They fit perfectly and do a good job of keeping the vegetables beneath the liquid. The lid makes fermenting fool-proof and effortless. Literally. I've put up sauerkraut in one of these babies and then gone out of town for two weeks. When I came back the kraut had fermented perfectly.I can't believe the price of these fermenters -$20 shipped for all this. Amazing.

These work great for me and I have never had a ferment go bad when using them. I also had no issues with them fitting on the 1 gal jars I use like some reviewers have; but if I did I would go the extra mile to find jars they will fit because they work so well.

I really like XL Easy Fermenter lids for the gallon size jars. Just be sure to get the right size jar opening of 4.5 inches. There are many gallon jars available with a smaller mouth, but I only found one seller that has them with 4.5 inch mouth. I have purchased two sets of 4 XL lids in total as well as the regular mason jar size lids and I prefer the gallon size as it can accommodate large quantities and they are easier to pack with vegetables for fermentation. See photo with some of my fermented vegetables.

The description was slightly misleading in regards to the fermentation weight. You get one- 3 piece weight. I thought I was getting 3- 3 piece weights. I only needed the weights so to my better judgement I ordered another kit thank goodness. The weights work very well. I like them a lot, easy to insert and remove nd they do a good job keeping the veggies/fruits that you are processing down below the brine. I just need more. Wish I could purchase the weights separate but don’t see a listing for just them!

O love the Easy Fermenter lids. Started with the regular size wide mouth set and got this for my gallon size jars. Haven't had a ferment go bad with any of their lids.

I absolutely love this kit, it makes fermenting so much easier. Plus they give you a recipe book, an invitation to join their Facebook group and their club for even more recipes, help and how to's. Excellent customer service as well. I highly recommend this company and cannot say enough about their excellent customer service and products.

These lids are a wonderful invention. I have made sauerkraut in a 10 L German crock for years, but wanted to try smaller ferments. These lids work really well and enable me to have several smaller ferments going all at once. I use the gallon for Kvass and spicy sauerkraut. I would recommend the smaller lids for everything else. Excellent customer support!
