The 4 Best Fermenting Kits
Here I will review the 4 Best Fermenting Kits – May 2021. The best fermentation kit should cost around $50. The price depends mainly on the number of items in the kit and the quality of the plastic lids. Fermentation lids should be part of the fermenting kit. Sometimes the kit will come with a fermenting jar. You’ll pay more for a kit that includes a vessel, and a premium if there are multiple jars.
Fermentation is the transformation of food through enzymes produced by types of microorganisms. The types of microorganisms that we use in fermentation are bacteria, yeasts, and mold. Fermentation is the process by which microorganisms convert sugar into another substance.
Year of Plenty Fermenting Kit
This fermenting kit is a new fermenting kit in the market. I really like this kit.
What I like the best are the fermentation weights. They have a great shape and feel very good, 1-inch thick and 2.75 inches wide. The fermentation weights are crafted from high-quality soda-lime glass. Each weight boasts a custom-designed, ribbed handle that makes it easier to remove from the jar when the fermentation process is over.
It includes everything you need to begin making your own delicious, sauerkraut and other fermented foods.
The Year of Plenty kit comes with:
- 4 white fermentation airlock lids
- 4 wide-mouth NonSlip Grip fermentation weights
- 1 12-inch bamboo cabbage tamper.
The plastic is easy to clean. It seems like the kit is made from good quality plastic. The valves appear to be a slightly more fragile type of plastic but they work great.
Easy Fermenter Wide Mouth Lid Kit
The first of the 4 Best Fermenting Kits- May 2021 Each Easy fermenting lid kit has a waterless airlock valve that lets carbon dioxide out and in addition stops oxygen, mold, and bacteria from getting in. The manufacturing is made for a much higher standard than the valve our competitors use. It also has a thicker gasket for preventing air leaks, and the entire lid is constructed from a much higher quality, stiffer plastic.
Therefore it’s easier to remove, and it will also last much longer.
The construction of the lids is simple and straight-forward, and therefore very easy to clean. All the pieces can be separated from one another so that preventing any mold to form in the seal or under the date dial. I’ve put the hard plastic in the top rack of the dishwasher, meanwhile, I am reluctant to expose the rubberized seals to that heat.
During the first stages, the gas (CO2) created by the bacteria will push the oxygen out of the jar quickly. When you DO want to use the pump is toward the end of your ferment, (when bacteria have slowed their growth and metabolizing), and you open your jars to do taste tests. If you decide to let your ferment go longer, then you’ll use the air pump to pull the oxygen out, since it won’t be pushed out as fast as it will in the beginning. Only ONE pump is all that’s needed.
The lids are 100% BPA Free. The plastic used is AS plastic, the same type of plastic used for instance things like Brita filter jars.
In short, what is Included: 3 Wide Mouth Lids, 3 Fermenting Weights, Pump (Jars Not Included)

AIEVE Mason Jar Fermentation Lids for Wide Mouth Mason Jars
Mason jar fermentation kit with a leak-proof gasket made from durable plastic with a leak-proof gasket, the lids are BPA-free. Therefore they let the gas escape and prevent contaminants from entering.
However, what I like about the lids is that they are dishwasher safe, which makes them easy to clean.
I used the vacuum pump to pump air out from the jars by connecting the built-in one-way valve in the middle and extruding the airlock valve in the middle when fermentation finishes.
The sauerkraut pounder is easy to use to pound cabbages, as a result, get out the juice and tightly pack them into crocks and jars for best fermentation.

On the other hand, I would have appreciated some instruction on the pump, mostly because I wasn’t sure how many times to work the plunger after capping the jars.

Brillenti Fermenting Lids for wide mouth mason jars
I must say that for a beginner this kit is great! First of all, the price is great and second I really feel like this kit makes fermenting foolproof.
The glass weights are nice, and they have a little nub which makes it easy to remove them. It also feels that with the pump to remove the air you are really getting to ferment without air interfering with the ferment. The seal really does work because as soon as I press the seal and open my sauerkraut you can see it expand.
Once you have pumped the air out when first placing the veggies into the jar, do not touch it until the fermentation is done. No more pumping is needed. Let the gas come out naturally on its own. Leave an inch gap between the water and the lid to avoid overflow of liquid.
The items are packed beautifully in a nice box. This would be a great gift for Christmas.
The Brillenti Fermentation kit is a quality product at a reasonable price. I had a few questions and they answered me immediately.
Glass weights heavy enough to hold the cabbage down. lids fit a wide-mouth jar perfectly.
What has Included: 4 weights, 4 fermenting lids, 1 pump, 6 jar labels, and a detailed user guide booklet with recipes.
