Interesting. Much cheaper than the Kraut source lids.

You think it will work as advertised?

Looks perfect for me, for what I've got coming up ... I put myself down for a half-dozen ...

Same here. I like the low profile versus the airlock or the kraut source. I want to try and get more into fermenting veggies.

When I need to keep air out yes but only for the quick 3 to 4 day stuff for Sriracha homemade

It is not for wet food storage as you will read

Makes sense. I have them too, that is why I didn't understand how you could use it for a long ferment.

Works amazing for dried pods!

Yeah works best with bulk dried stuff. I store my lots of things in the 1 gallon ones. I do like the ferment on you posted here since it is made to keep the contents below the surface.
