Product Information

Full details

This 2-pack of 1.4L volila fermentation jars is designed for home cooks looking to easily create fermented foods and beverages like kimchi, kombucha, or sauerkraut. Its key benefit is a one-way airlock system that safely releases CO2 while preventing oxygen entry, ensuring successful fermentation without pressure buildup. A potential caveat is the 1.4L capacity, which may be limiting for larger batches. These durable soda-lime glass jars simplify the fermentation process for both beginners and experienced users, offering convenient storage in fridges or cupboards.

FAQs

What materials are the jars made from?

The jars are made from durable soda-lime glass.

How do I know if the airlock is working?

A functioning airlock will have a small amount of liquid bubbling out as carbon dioxide is released from the jar. If no bubbling occurs, check the seal and liquid level.

Can I use these jars for canning?

These jars are specifically designed for fermentation and are not intended for high-heat canning processes, which require different types of jars and sealing methods.

What is the capacity of each jar?

Each jar has a capacity of 1.4 liters.

How should I clean the airlock?

Disassemble the airlock components and wash them with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and ensure they are completely dry before reassembling and using.

Can I ferment foods that produce a lot of foam?

For ferments that produce significant foam, consider using a larger vessel or placing a fermentation weight inside to keep solids submerged, and ensure the airlock has sufficient space to vent.

Do I need to burp the jars manually?

No, the one-way airlock system is designed to automatically release pressure, so manual 'burping' is not necessary.

Troubleshooting

Airlock is not bubbling

Ensure the airlock is properly sealed on the lid and filled with liquid. Check that the fermentation process is actively producing gas. Very slow fermentation may result in minimal bubbling.

Mold growth on the surface

This usually indicates the presence of oxygen. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly and the airlock is functioning correctly. Remove any visible mold immediately and consider starting over if the contamination is significant.

Jar appears cloudy or stained

Over time, fermentation byproducts can cause staining. Clean thoroughly with a baking soda paste and warm water, or run through a gentle dishwasher cycle if applicable.

Lid does not fit securely

Check for any debris on the jar rim or lid. Ensure you are using the correct lid for the jar size. If the lid is damaged, it may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

  • Simplifies the fermentation process for beginners.
  • One-way airlock prevents spoilage and pressure buildup.
  • Durable and easy-to-clean glass construction.
  • Comes in a convenient 2-pack for multiple ferments.
  • Suitable for a variety of fermented foods and beverages.

Cons

  • 1.4L capacity might be small for large-batch fermenting.
  • Requires initial setup of the airlock system.
  • Glass material can be fragile if dropped.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the airlock is properly assembled and filled with water or brine according to the manufacturer's instructions before placing it on the jar lid. The lid should be securely fastened.

Compatibility: These jars are suitable for a wide range of fermented foods and beverages including sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha, kefir, pickles, and sourdough starters. They are designed for home fermentation use.

Care: Before first use and after each subsequent use, wash the jars and lids thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse well and allow them to air dry completely. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the glass. The jars are generally dishwasher safe on a gentle cycle, but handwashing is recommended to prolong their lifespan. Ensure the airlock components are also cleaned regularly to prevent blockages.
