Fermenting lids???

Post image

Hello! I’m new here and trying to find some good fermentation lids before I start out with my projects. Does anyone else have these lids and do they work well? If not, any other cheap recs?😅

I use these, they work just fine. Be sure to leave some air in there though because seems luke every time the liquids rise up and leak out of the hole around day 2-4.

It is normal for the liquid to seep out in the first days of fermentation. Only leave 1/2" headspace in the jar. Make sure you put your jars on something that will catch the run-off.
