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 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 large
  • 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
  • Dry storage — hops, herbs, malt, loose-leaf tea, oak chips, spices, dried fruit

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 tying up your main fermenters.

Please note: This jar is not rated for pressure. Use only during the initial (open) fermentation phase — bottle secondary fermentations in swing-top or pressure-safe containers. The lid may wear over time if drilled, but is easily replaceable. For acidic ferments, placing a piece of parchment or silicone between the jar and lid as a barrier is recommended.
