User questions & answers

Question:	Do you have to burp these
Answer:	No burping. There's a one way valve that let's the co2 out. I only open mine when it's close to the target date for optimal fermentation to taste test.
Question:	Does this still come with printed recipe booklet
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Where is this product made
Answer:	They are made in China
Question:	do these lids fit quart wide mouth canning jars? If not, what size and type canning jar do they fit? Thanks
Answer:	Yes. Assuming your canning jars use the standard lid configuration, which nearly all canning jars do. I have 4oz, 16oz and 32oz canning jars with wide mouths. The Easy Fermenter Wide Mouth lids fit them all. It's not about the size of the jar, it's about the size of the lid. If it's a wide-mouth jar, these will fit regardless of volume of the jar.

What Makes The Original Easy Fermenter The Easiest And Best Fermentation System Available Today?

Each Easy Fermenter lid has a waterless airlock valve that lets carbon dioxide out, but stops oxygen, mold and bacteria from getting in. It’s manufactured to a much higher standard than the valve our competitors use. We also have a thicker gasket to prevent air leaks, and the entire lid is constructed from a much higher quality, stiffer plastic. That means it’s easier to remove, and it will also last much longer.

You’ll also need a weight to keep your veggies underneath the brine, so we’ve included three of them. Only the original Easy Weight has two handles. You can either grip it in the middle, or you can grip it at the sides. That means you can quickly remove and replace the weight when you’re testing your veggies. You’ll always get a strong grip, so you’ll never have to worry about spills or contaminating the brine with your fingers.

With Our Fermenting Club, You’ll Never Ferment Alone!

You won’t just get fermentation equipment. You’ll also get lifetime access to our Fermenting Club – an online community with thousands of active members to help you get results. Inside the club you’ll find a detailed knowledge base with hundreds of searchable questions and answers, dozens of recipes, detailed “quick start” guides to help you get started without hassles, and a community of experts to answer any questions you might have.

You’ll even get access to a detailed video series that will help you prepare your very first sauerkraut from beginning to end, walking you through the entire process step by step. Even complete beginners can get a perfect ferment their very first time with our system.

User questions & answers

Question:	does this system reduce the odor from fermenting garlic
Answer:	I am currently fermenting a 1 quart mason jar of nothing but garlic cloves in a 5% brine. Tons of bubbles at day 4, no smell. I am quite pleased with it.
Question:	Can you make beer or wine in this
Answer:	As an experienced home brewer I would say yes and no. Cider yes, wine probably, beer not so much. The reason is that beer foams up a bunch during fermentation so you would have to leave a lot of "head space" or that foam (krausen) would spray out of the top, or clog the valve and explode the jar. IF you had a really large jar and only filled it 1/2 way or so you would probably be fine. But truthfully it's kind of a waste to deal with less that a couple of gallons of beer at a shot. Brewers might be able to use it for starters, but there are simpler alternatives.Cider doesn't foam much at all so it should work, and I don't believe wine foams a lot but am not sure. Mead would also probably work. Chemically there would be no problem. The one beer use that might make sense is for doing small batch sour beers. If you use this for the long term secondary there isn't a foaming issue.
Question:	Do you set the timer at 1 and it counts up? Or do you set it for the number of days you want to ferment and it counts down
Answer:	Turn it to the day of the month you started fermentation then you can know on your calendar how long it’s fermented for
Question:	Do you still need to weight your ferment? Website tips give suggestions for weighting, but if removing oxygen with pump is it needed
Answer:	Although a weight is not required we still recommend you use some sort of method to keep your veggies under the brine. Any veggies above the brine will not properly ferment. If the veggies are naturally submerged then there are no issues but it is better if you find a way to keep them under. During the early stages of the ferment the carbon produced will actually push the oxygen out of the Easy lid while the lid also ensures zero oxygen can enter. The pump is used more in the later stages of the ferment when you are opening the jar to test and there is little carbon being produced. Everything is explained in detail in our Fermenting Primer you get free with your purchase. Hope that helps

Why We Ferment

There’s more to fermented vegetables than probiotics, nutrient density, and food preservation. These three attributes are piquing people’s interest, but to be honest, that’s not enough. Just because you know something is good for you doesn’t mean you’re going to eat it. You have to want to eat fermented vegetables, to crave them, and the reason you will is flavor. You’ll eat fermented vegetables because you want to, not because you should. Availability and ease of preparation are important, but incorporating fermented foods into your diet is, we believe, all about taste.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson

Airlocks

Airlocks affix to the lid of a jar, keep any new air out of the fermentation environment, and give the CO2 an opportunity to escape, often without spilling the brine. Without the airlock, you must leave your lids loose to let CO2 escape, which means keeping a closer eye on oxygen contamination and brine loss.

Easy Grip Handle

Upgraded designed with grooved base and 1 inch long bulge, curved handle, makes them easier to place and remove from the jars even with wet fingers.

Heavy Weights

The net weight of each glass weight ia about 220grams, heavier than a typical glass fermenting weight or pebble, is heavy enough to force bubbles to the surface of the brine and strong enough keep your ferment below the brine for the fermentation period.

• BEGIN YOUR FERMENTING ADVENTURE TODAY! This set includes everything you need to begin making delicious, healthy sauerkraut, kimchi and other fermented foods. You can begin your fermenting adventure as soon as you open the package using our sauerkraut recipe.

Custom-Designed Lids

Available in either clear or white colors, these fermentation lids will be an important part of your fermenting tool kit. Each sturdy, plastic lid includes an air lock and a removable, washable silicone gasket and grommet. Clear lids allow you to observe the fermentation process, while white lids block light from penetrating through the lid and discoloring your ferments. Despite which one you choose, the silicone gaskets create an air-tight seal which allows gas bubbles to escape while preventing oxygen from ruining your ferments.

Innovative, Non-Slip Weights

Over 1-inch thick and 2.75 inches wide, the fermentation weights are expertly crafted from high-quality soda lime glass. Each weight boasts a custom-designed, ribbed handle to make removal much easier than other designs, and a convex bottom that allows bubbles to escape wide-mouth mason jars. Use the weights to hold the ferments below the brine when making sauerkraut and other healthy fermented dishes without worrying about toxic chemicals leaching into your food. Happy fermenting!

12-Inch Bamboo Tamper

Smooth and handsomely shaped, this bamboo tamper is the perfect tool for tightly packing your ferments below the brine. It’s expertly crafted out of sustainable bamboo and is 12 inches long - the perfect length for packing foods into half gallon, quart or pint-sized mason jars.

User questions & answers

Question:	Once the fermentation process is complete, would I remove this lid and put a regular, wide mouth lid in its place
Answer:	Once fermentation is complete there is no reason to keep venting process going. Place regular lid on jar and move to refrigerator. Wash venting lid parts in soapy water.
Question:	Has anyone made kvass with these
Answer:	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OsLi9mHeQs Different jar, but these will work.
Question:	Would these lids work for making water kefir
Answer:	Yes! they'd work for any fermentation process.
Question:	Can these be used to make mead
Answer:	They probably could... BUT you won't get carbonation built up in mead with these because any carbonation bubbles will escape through the top resulting in flat mead, beer, kombucha(I didn't get any carbonation), which is how I know. These lids are meant for fermented apple cider vinegar or fermented fruits and vegetables where fizz is not desired. They will keep ferments of these foods from exploding or oozing out of jar. I haven't made mead, but I presume you want it fizzy like beer, right? So, best bottles are Grosch beer brewing bottles. Lots of carbonation over several days if it takes as long as my kombucha does. Don't burp them either or fizz will go flat. Amazon has many vendors of these bottles. a Six pack of 15 oz bottles will cost between 14.00 and 18.00 for a box and they are perfect for fizziness. You can get different sizes as well, but I recommend short broad Grosch bottles because they fit easier in the fridge. Best of luck and hope this helped. maureen

User questions & answers

Question:	Will these work for keifer
Answer:	i read that they will work for this
Question:	Are the silicone grommets bpa free
Answer:	Hi, Yes, they are BPA free.
Question:	Would these be a good option for making infused pepper tequila
Answer:	They would work, but you really don't need a fermenter to infuse alcohol. I make several liqueurs and all I do is mix them up and let them sit my dark pantry for a month. I infuse tequila by stemming and washing 6 jalapenos, and 6 serranos. I puncture them 4 or 5 times with a paring knife and put them in a quart jar. Then I pour in 5th of silver tequila, and put it in the pantry. Once or twice a week I shake the jar, and it's ready to serve in a month.
Question:	I bought this but now realize I need regular mouth lids. Do you sell those separately, & if not are the airlocks supplied compatible with other lids
Answer:	Hi there, We only sell 4pcs fermentation weights seperately , ASIN B089GR5X7C. The airlcocks fits well with 13mm-14mm hole, if your lids hole is this size, it will be compatible. Thanks

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you still needs weights
Answer:	Yes, you still needs weights to keep the cabbage or veggies under the juice. These little things help making sauerkraut easy.
Question:	How much space do i need to leave at the top of the jar so it doesn’t overflow. my first one overflowed but i think i may have filled it too much. tha
Answer:	I may not be able to completely help you since I use a glass weight between my pickles and the pipe. I make sure the pickles are cover with brine, add the weight, then the pipe. The nice thing is that as it bubbles, I will squeeze the nipple to release air. Not sure it is recommended, but I'm happen to know there is no air trapped. I place my jars on a cookie sheet or towel in a box, so if it runs over there is no problem.
Question:	Where to buy the metal jar lids to hold the Airlock Lids to jars
Answer:	When you buy mason jars, they come with metal lids and locking rings. Replace the metal lid with the Pickle Pipe while fermenting (~3 or 4 weeks). When the process is done to your liking (ie taste), remove the Pickle Pipe and replace with the metal lid that came with the jar. Refrigerate. Veggies should be good for up to 6 months (fermentation continues slowly, so over time, the taste gets stronger. Search for Wide Mouth Mason Jars on Amazon, and you'll see the lids and rings.
Question:	I store sourdough starter in mason jars ns it sometimes develops dark hooch ns i have stet over . would these help my situation
Answer:	These lids won't keep the sourdough from getting a layer of liquid on top. I have used sourdough for years. There is always a liquid layer that forms. If it isn't dark just stir it all in before using the sourdough batter. If it gets dark pour off the liquid and then use your sourdough. It gets dark when not used and fed enough. Be sure to add flour to feed the starter at least every two weeks.

• KIT INCLUDES: 3 x 316 Stainless Steel Fermentation Lids with waterless silicone airlocks for wide mouth canning jars. 3 x Pickle Helix fermentation weight coils, to hold vegetables down during fermentation.
• FERMENT LIKE A PRO: Pro fermenters use nothing but stainless steel why shouldn’t you? Our fermenting lid kit has the smallest amount of plastic on the market! NO FUSS: The PickleHelix is easily removed for a quick bite and won’t displace brine and cause overflows like glass fermenter weights. They are extremely durable and automatically adjust to changing ferment volumes, compressing down to the mere thickness of a glass weight if necessary.
• WATERLESS AIRLOCKS: We ditched the pool of stagnant pathogen-filled water sitting right over your precious probiotic food. No need to top-off the water during those long ferments! Our one-way valves (“waterless airlocks”) are maintenance-free and they allow your ferments to be stacked in the cupboard or put on that smallest fridge shelf to save space.
• STAINLESS STEEL: This is the safest/cleanest possible material to use for food which is why all commercial fermenting equipment is made using Stainless Steel. Our patent-pending PickleHelix combined with our unique waterless airlock lid/valve is the only 100% medical-grade (316) stainless steel fermenting system for mason jars on the market!
• BONUS: Free downloadable fermentation guide and recipe book, "Mason Jar Fermenting to Fit Your Lifestyle." 100% satisfaction guarantee with US based customer service.

User questions & answers

Question:	Could I use the coils in wide mouth jars that have attached lids
Answer:	Great question! The pickle helix is designed to go with our fermenting lids which have an airlock valve that allows the carbon dioxide from the ferment escape, without letting air in. I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to message us directly if you have any more questions. Angela Trellis + Co.
Question:	In the Complete Kit how much contains each jar
Answer:	You get three lids (including the silicone gaskets) and three springs. The jars are not included. The lids fit standard jars, but you are best off using the 1-qt jar size.
Question:	What is the external diameter of the coil
Answer:	It measure 2 3/4" in diameter. Hope that helps.
Question:	What exactly is "food grade silicone", and "medical grade silicone"? Could the seller please explain the technical details. Thank you
Answer:	Silicone is much more difficult than other plastics to form into parts. Most plastics melt when they get hot, so you "just" melt them and inject them into a mold and you're done. Silicone is crosslinked and therefore does not melt (which is why it's great for high-heat applications) and also requires a cure because of this. There are different types of curing agents, platinum is the most common for food-grade silicone because it creates a more thorough polymerization and less by-products during the curing process. The seals in the lids are platinum-cured, food-grade silicone. Without getting too complicated, you can think of medical-grade silicone as food-grade silicone that has passed a lot of strict tests (specifically those outlined in the ISO 10993 standard). If you don't pass those tests you can't call it "medical-grade". I'm 100% positive that TONS of silicone products on Amazon that are listed as "medical-grade" have not undergone these tests because they cost $20k-$60k to perform and Chinese factories don't have the technical knowledge to properly select and manage this kind of testing. But I do because I do it for a living as a medical device engineer. That said, when speaking with the US-based reps from our valve supplier I can ask for their 10993 verification reports and analyze them for compliance, which is what I've done. So, to summarize: The lid seals cannot be put in a body/blood path because they don't have the required testing, but the valves can be put in a body/blood path because they do have the required testing. Would the lid seals pass the testing? I'm absolutely sure they would, but there's reason to spend $20k+ to find out.

DIY Complete Fermenting Systems

This could be waiting in your kitchen everyday!

Save tons of money because ferments are ridiculously expensive to buy! This kit pays for itself in the first few uses. So make your own and have super cheap, super healthy, all-you-can-eat ferments everyday!

The Stainless Steel Difference

How much plastic is in a brewery or winery? As little as possible because it harbors pathogens in its microscopic pores, it absorbs smells, and it allows oxygen to permeate across its walls. That is why we pioneered the first 100% 316 stainless steel fermenting kit for mason jars! Years of trial and error and design improvements have resulted in the most functional and durable fermenting kit for mason jars in the world. We have recently taken it to the next level by moving PickleHelix production to our home state of Utah!

Forget it + Ferment It!

Here's the skinny: The small valve on the lid sits sealed against the lid surface. This prevents oxygen and bacteria from entering the jar. As carbon dioxide builds up as a result of the fermentation process, the valve flexes up and releases the pressure only as necessary.

Meanwhile the PickleHelix constantly pushes down on your veggies with 3 times the force of the heaviest glass weights to keep them below the brine no matter what. And it automatically adjusts to changes in volume as the ferment progresses. . . or, let's be honest: you can't wait and start nibbling on it only two days in like we do at home.

Our Complete Kit Includes

• 3 x PickleHelix Coils (316 Stainless Steel, 100% Made in the USA)
• 3 x Precision-Stamped Wide Mouth Lids (316 Stainless Steel)
• 3 x Silicone Fermentation Valves (Medical Grade)
• 3 x Silicone Gaskets (Food Grade)
• Free 20-page downloadable recipe eBook: "Mason Jar Fermenting: Vegetable Fermenting to Fit Your Lifestyle"

This kit does not include Mason jars. Or kiviak ingredients.

• Successful & Safe Ferments Every Time: Our 32 oz wide mouth mason jars are made of food safe glass & make it easy to work food into the jar. The fermentation weights provided keep food submerged in brine to ensure you get maximum gut loving nutrients in your creation! Use the handy pump to extract oxygen again, simply by placing over the silicone valve in the lid if you need to check for flavour during the fermentation process. Easy washing as everything is dishwasher safe.
• Create Pro-biotic Rich Foods Fuss Free: It’s no secret that 80% of your immune system is in your gut! So reap the benefits by using our step by step user guide and fermentation recipes book to take the guess work out. Our carefully selected equipment eliminates the need for multiple parts or purchases. Using this kit means you can be enjoying pro-biotic rich foods that help support a healthy immune system in no time at all.
• Ease of Use Fermentation Lids: The BPA free fermenting lids are easy to get on and off the jar. Each lid has a silicone valve that makes it easy to release gases as they build up during the fermentation process as well as keeps oxygen out - meaning zero spoiled ferments for you. No dealing with stuck metal lids, manual gas releasing (burping), messy water airlocks. The handy date timer in the lid means you keep track of when your ferments are ready too!
