Product Description

The Entire Original Easy Fermenter System With Everything You Need To Get Started Fermenting
We’ve been fermenting for years, so we’ve tried every solution that’s out there. We tried burping the mason jars occasionally, but that can let mold, bacteria and oxygen in. We tried the old fashioned German style crocks, but they have a water seal that can be really messy. We knew there must be a better way. So we invented it. We call it the Easy Fermenter, and now you can get the entire system as part of our combo pack.Inside this special combo package, you’ll get:
- Three of our high quality Easy Fermenter wide mouth mason jar lids (mason jars not included).
- Three of our unique design Easy Weights.
- One oxygen extraction vacuum pump.
- One printed recipe book.
Of course fermentation isn’t just about having the right equipment. You also need the right knowledge. So you’ll get a bonus lifetime membership to our Fermenting Club to help guide you all the way. You’ll never have to ferment alone.
Compatible With Your Wide Mouth Mason Jars
These lids are compatible with every wide mouth jar with an outside dimension of 3 3/8". That includes jars from Ball, Kerr, Bernardin, Kilner, Orchard Road, Jarden, Quattro Stagioni, Golden Harvest, Atlas, Legacy and many more.
Wide Mouth Mason Jars Not Included


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.

- Reviewed in Canada on May 13, 2025Verified PurchaseI’ve used these lids for about 5 years now for hot sauce, sauerkraut and kimchi fermentation and in my opinion they are the only ones to use!
I’ve tried other versions of these lids and what has set these apart from the others is the quality of manufacture. Super solid plastic lids with the rubber seals being the highlight compared to others (see pic). I find the alternative sealers have to be monitored closely for leaks.
Highly recommended!

- Reviewed in Canada on March 22, 2021Verified PurchaseThis is the Fermenting for Dummies version of fermentation lids. It couldn’t be easier or more convenient!
We have made three batches of Sauerkraut using these lids. Haven’t had to use the pump yet. The lids do an awesome job of keeping dirt, dust and bad bacteria out until the natural fermentation can take over.
The quality of the lids and weights make it worth the money. They are sturdy and well-made.
We haven’t used the date feature, because it seems fiddly and inconvenient.
The third batch is our first experience of the liquid bubbling over. We love that it has that release valve that allows the liquid and gases to escape, without allowing other things to get in.
Both weights and lids are easy to clean.
The recipe book included with the kit is an added bonus; although we haven’t tried any of the recipes yet.
This was a great purchase for us, beginner fermenters; and we are considering purchasing another set in the future as we explore other types of fermentation.
Make sure you use WIDEMOUTH jars—standard jars are too small for the lids. We found Bernardin 1 L jars that are perfect.

- Reviewed in Canada on December 11, 2019Verified PurchaseLove these. It made making probiotics a reality without worry. These lids are perfect for making Kimchi and saurkraut... so far these are all I have made, but these made it perfectly safe and easy. Love our Kimchi!
These lids stop oxygen from entering, while allowing C02 out, so no worries about things going bad.
You need to buy wide-mouth jars. I use 1.8 litre jars. This is so easy to use, hardest part is prep crushing the cabbage to draw out the water and to allow the salt to be drawn in to preserve.
Love this kit and the health benefits and security of preserved food. I purchased a second set of glass to weigh down the cabbage inside, and so far have found between 2 & 3 weeks on my kitchen counter to be perfect for flavour and citric acid levels, very tasty.
We make 5 to 6 litres (3 x 1.8L) each batch, and they do not last us 2 months, but apparently the salted preserves will last many months in your fridge.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 22, 2020Verified PurchaseI definitely recommend this product! The lids are versatile, fitting any size wide mouth jar. (They are even available in a larger size for wider jar tops.) So easy to use; just add product to the jar, top with a weight, screw on the lid, pump out the air to prevent mold, set the date marker, and wait... You can even open it up to check the ferment, replace the lid, and pump out the air again. So easy to make small amounts, of different kind of ferments, at staggered times. Thanks so much Nourished Essentials!
I will now be selling my big, awkward, unreliable fermenting crocks!

- Reviewed in Canada on November 24, 2023Verified PurchaseWe used it to ferment hot pepper to make hot sauce. Everything worked fine for the fermentation but we had a problem when we cleaned the weight.
Since it was hot sauce, we left the glass weight to soak in the water after use. After like 10-15 minutes we got back to the sink to finish cleaning and one of the weight has split almost in half (not directly in the middle since there his a thicker part to remove the weight from jars).
We felt lucky that it didn't broke during the fermentation process since the water wasn't that hot in the sink (so no thermal shock possible). Maybe we got a lemon...
- Reviewed in Canada on March 25, 2024Verified PurchaseEasy recipes love the kimchi and carrots! The tops work really well
- Reviewed in Canada on May 17, 2021Verified PurchaseSo happy I ordered this kit!! After a couple of sketchy tries making homemade sauerkraut I decided to bite the bullet and spring for a little home equipment. Could not be more pleased - my kraut turned out amazing and I’ve played with a few of the other recipes included in the accompanying booklet. The date ticker is handy for remembering when you started the batch, and the little oxygen pump means you can taste-test and then still continue on with fermentation without worrying about mold.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 22, 2025Verified PurchaseVery cheap/fragile plastic is used. One lid cracked after the first use (black plastic). 2 out of 3 lids were constantly loosing pressure. Olive oil seal lubrication helped a bit. Returning this product, will be looking elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great kit ,only kilner wide mouth .5l jars fit
Verified PurchaseGreat kit , the only jars I could find to fit in the UK are kilner wide mouth jars but be Aware there are two sizes of kilner wide mouth jars don't buy the 1L type as it's too big for the lids , the .5l works a treat though
