    Those airlocks are fragile so be careful handling them. I have broken my share!

    I was more concerned with the jar seals and sealing rings for the airlocks. I was impressed with the quality of the rubber.
    My son and I brew beer for a hobby and have used these styles of airlocks before.

    We're going to pick up a bunch of things to ferment and get a few going today in 1/2 gallon jars.

    So, I picked up 2 sets of these for 1/2 gallon mason jars. Along with cumbers, we're also going to try asparagus, carrots, and anything else that we can find to ferment.

    Holy cow
    is that expensive.
    I drilled a hole in a normal canning lid and put a 1/2 cent (or less) rubber grommet from Harbor Freight in it.
    Made several for basically nothing

    Yeah, that's the way Mom made them. When we get fresh cucumbers, we peel and slice and use a mixture like yours, only adding a little salt and some fresh onion rings to flavor. My wife and I just had a small bowl each with our Shepherd's Pie for supper. Good Eats!

    We make lime pickles... they take days of work to produce and once done right they stay crisp and will curl your toes! When we get started we use 4 and 5 gallon crocks for most of the hard work.
