  • THESE LIDS MAKE FERMENTATION EASY: Easy Fermenter lids let gas escape, but keep mold and bacteria out. You’ll never have to burp your jars or deal with messy water airlocks. The built in date dial means you’ll always get the timing right, and the pull tabs help you open the jar. It’s so simple.
  • AND THEY’RE EASY TO CLEAN TOO: You can easily separate every part of the jar for cleaning, to prevent mold or bacteria building up in the seal or under the date dial. You can always ferment with confidence that your equipment is totally clean. And of course, it’s all food safe and BPA free.

 

 

You should be able to use these as lids/airlocks for yeast starters made in compatible wide mouth jars and for yeast storage.  Note that jars are not included.

  • Why a Stir Plate? The constant motion of a stir plate integrates oxygen, puts yeast in constant contact with nutrients, relieves built up CO2 and generally helps yeast to grow more rapidly.  That also means smaller starters.
  • Why get 8?  Generally, you’re going to save money buying in bulk.  Having these on hand allows you to do multiple starters at once and… you’ll have spares if you mistakenly dump your stir bar into your fermenter.
