I love pickles...but I love pickle jars more. They make for some convenient fermentation vessels, and come in a variety of sizes. Wolfed down the last pickle in this jar and went to the workbench to drill out the airlock hole. Had a 1/2-gal. of red habaneros, with an errant ghost pepper and a few BT scorpions that made their way in the mix. done and in the closet for the next couple of months. I also retained brine from a previous ferment, stored in the fridge. Once it warms up, things should start cooking.
