3.8L Glass Jar with Lid – For Brewing, Fermenting & DIY Storage
3.8L Glass Jar with Lid – For Fermentation, Brewing & Storage
This 3.8L wide-mouth glass jar (1 US gallon) is a versatile vessel for small-batch fermentation, homebrewing, infusions, and dry storage.
It’s food-safe, clear for easy monitoring, and sized just right for test batches, starters, or preserving seasonal ingredients.
The plastic screw-on lid keeps contents sealed and can easily be adapted for fermentation with a simple grommet and airlock setup.
What It’s Great For
- Fermented foods – Garlic honey, kimchi, sauerkraut, hot sauce, pickled vegetables
- Starter cultures – Sourdough starter, ginger bug, wild yeast captures, kombucha SCOBY hotels
- Mead, cider, or wine – Perfect for small batches or when a demijohn is too big
- Vinegar making – Apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, or malt vinegar using mother culture
- Alcohol infusions & tinctures – Limoncello, sloe gin, spiced rum, bitters, herbal liqueurs
- Steeping & macerating spirits – Ideal for ageing fruits, botanicals, or spices in alcohol
- Dry storage – Hops, herbs, malt, loose-leaf tea, oak chips, spices, dried fruit
- Non-food use – Bath soaks, infused oils, homemade cleaning vinegar, or craft ingredients
Brewer’s Tip:
Turn this jar into a custom fermenter by drilling a 9mm hole in the lid and fitting a rubber grommet with an airlock.
Great for wild ferments, low-risk starter batches, or experimental brewing without taking up your main fermenters.

FAQs
Can I ferment carbonated drinks in it?
Yes, but only during the initial (open) fermentation phase. This jar isn’t rated for pressure, so bottle secondary fermentations in swing-top or pressure-safe containers.
Is it reusable for long-term use?
Definitely. The glass will last for years with normal care. The lid may wear over time, especially if drilled — but it’s easily replaceable.
Is the lid food-safe and tight enough for infusions?
Yes, it’s food-safe and seals well for still liquids. For acidic ferments, some users place a piece of parchment or silicone between the jar and lid as a barrier.
