Khoysan Complete Set of Fermenting Glasses, 1 Litre

The set consists of:

• 1 glass (available in 2 sizes: 0.75l or 1L)
• Screwcap
• 1 silicone airlock
• 1 glass weight

2-part screw cap:

The 2-part screw cap consists of a cover plate and the screw ring- it's very important that you use the silicone airlock instead of the cover plate while you're fermenting, otherwise the fermentation gases cannot escape.

After the active fermentation process (usually 5-7 days), the silicone airlock can be replaced by the cover plate. Make sure to store the food in a cool place.

The silicone airlocks:

• have a one-way valve and are made of food-safe silicone that does not contain BPAs or phthalates (plasticizers). The valve allows built-up gas from the fermentation process to escape pressure can escape. The one-way nature of the valve keeps your food safe and sound without exposing it to external influences. With appropriate care (wash them before and after use and store them flat), the lids last for a long time.
• When using the airlock for the first time, gently press the tip of the airlock together so that it opens. Pack the vegetables you want to ferment tightly into the glass and make sure that there are no empty spaces. For smaller chopped vegetables, use a vegetable tamper ( >> available here ), then weigh down the veggies with one of the weights.
• Make sure your veggies are completely covered with brine. You can add more brine to cover your veggies, but do not fill the glass completely, only up to the neck. To start the fermentation process, place one of the silicone airlocks on top and secure it in place with the screw ring. Once fermentation has taken place, remove the glass weight and replace the silicone airlock with the lid of the jar.

The glass weight:

• consists of lead-free glass and is suitable for screw glasses with a 7.5 cm opening.
