Airlock Choice
2 Choices:
Traditional vs. Modern
Olde-stye vs. Low-profile
Our "Waterless Airlock"
BASIC FACTS
- The "umbrella" which releases CO2 gas pressure from your fermenting foods and also helps create and maintain a CO2 blanket in your fermenting kit. Made with FDA food grade BPA free silicone. Sold seperately also.
- The "base" Is a FDA food grade BPA free plastic adapter that will allow the waterless airlock system to be adapted to most any plastic or glass jar lid by fitting in a standard 3/8" grommet. Sold seperately also. This part elevates the "umbrella vent" off the top of the jar lid reduces the possibility of dust or waterborn contamination from the air and lid surface, unlike some other waterless airlock systems.
- The "grommet" is a food grade BPA free silicone grommet, with a 3/8" hole to accept both the waterless and regular 3 piece airlock system. This allows the waterless airlock system to be adapted to most any plastic or glass jar lid. Sold seperately also.
SPECIAL NOTE: Read the pro's and Cons section below!
Pros and Cons for "Waterless Airlock" System
- VERY LOW PROFILE STORAGE!
- Does not require water to function.
- Will hold more CO2 in your ferment
- Slightly more possibility of contamination due to the "umbrella vent"s working trait of being open more than it is shut.
- Will work to prevent possibility of contamination from the liquid in a traditional 3 piece airlock when a vacumm developes when the temperature of your ferments drop.
- It is not required to remove the umbrella vent when opening lid!
- Much harder to tell if the system failed. Usually if no leakage or "blowage" is evident on container lid, the unit is functioning correctly
Our "3 Piece Airlock"
BASIC FACTS
SPECIAL NOTE: Read the pro's and Cons section below!
Pros and Cons for "3 Piece Airlock" System
- USED AND TRUSTED FOR YEARS
- Releases at a very low PSI Pressure.
- Is subject to allowing a siphon of liquid into ferment if the temperature falls and vacuum forms
- Has higher profile than "waterless" airlocks
- Must be removed when opening your lid if used on a FIdo jar!
- Requires water to function.
The "Pickle*Pushing No-Float Jar*Packer" is the backbone of our system. It is unique in that it serves many purposes during the fermentation and storing process's while removing most of the problems normally encountered. Rookies have reported to us that their sucess rate was nearly that of their veteren friends and all delighted in the reduced labor and spoilage.
Using our system does save time money and also turns out a much more eye appealing product in the process. It will dramatically increase the refridgerator shelf life of your opened jars as well by adjusting the height adjuster and forcing the remaining contents back under the remaining liquid. Floaties beware!
NOTE: WHEN ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT IN THIS STEP YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THE ADJUSTER DOES CONTACT THE LID TO ALLOW LID TO PUT DOWNWARDS FORCE ON CONTENTS
There is at present, no such a thing as a manually controlled fermentation system for the home consumer that is
"Set it................... and forget it".
If you assume this your chance of a failed ferment is very probable!
