Masontops 8 PC Pickle Pebbles Glass Weight & Pickle Pipe Airlocks Kits - Large Wide Mouth Lid - For Pickling & Canning

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It was exactly what I was looking for as a wedding gift.

These lids and weights have been helpful in my fermented veggie experiments!

Met my expectations and arrived quick

There is nothing I dislike about the pickle pebbles or the pipes. They are amazing! I love that the pebbles are glass and not plastic. They hold down the food in my fermenting jar perfectly! My only regret is that I didn’t buy more!

Glass weights fit neatly in large mouth Mason jar and do the job well. Pickle pipes airlocks seem to do the job, only just used them so will find out later. Overall, a good purc

Works.

I've been using this set for a couple of years now. We've had a constant supply of kraut since I bought them. I bought some more to share with my son's family. I've learned to be careful about the level of brine I add at the beginning. I was filling the jars too full and loosing brine in the first week. I also try to watch and make sure the airlock doesn't pull down too far during fermentation. If it does, I open the ring slightly to allow air in. I've had it pull loose from the ring a couple of times when I wasn't being observant.

Recently taking a fermenting class, I was told about a different airlock made of glass. They are twice the cost of these products and I feared they wouldn't fit in the fridge, being too tall (I could just see breaking them). I had a small issue with my order but the seller took care of it. These worked well. The glass weights have an easy handle to grab, no fishing with knives. My kimchi came out perfectly. This fermenting system was easy to clean. Now, on to the kraut!
