## Overview

The Kilner 5 Litre Fermentation Set is a premium, sustainable fermenting kit featuring a large 5L sodalime glass jar, an air lock silicone lid that releases fermentation gases while blocking air, and a glass weight with silicone sheet to keep contents submerged. BPA-free and toxin-free, this hand-wash-only set supports healthy, large-batch fermentation of vegetables like sauerkraut and kimchi, combining over 180 years of trusted Kilner heritage with modern eco-conscious design.

## Description

The Kilner Fermentation Set provides an easy way to create large batches of your own delicious fermented foods packed with vitamins, minerals and probiotic cultures. Perfect for creating sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles and much more. Creating your own fermented foods is easy - just add your favourite vegetables, filtered water and salt. This set includes one Kilner 5 Litre Fermenting Jar, one glass weight, one air lock, one silicone lid, one silicone sheet and one recipe/ instruction booklet. The silicone lid with air lock, allows gas to be released but does not allow air to enter the jar during the fermentation process. The clever design of the silicone sheet and glass weight, ensures that the contents are submerged under the brine to prevent any spoilage. Made from high-quality sodalime glass with pristine clarity and consistent wall thickness ensuring no weak points, this set is hand wash only. Kilner glass is made from natural ingredients so no harmful chemicals or toxins can leak into the food. Glass is BPA-free and does not absorb odours, flavours or stains. Not only is glass a healthier option, but it is also made to last and never for single use. Kilner continues to tackle plastic waste with our ethos of REUSE, REFILL, RECYCLE. The original Kilner Jar, invented by John Kilner and Co. in England is as much loved and successful now as it was over 180 years ago. Our diverse product range provides simple solutions for preserving, food preparation, storage and eating on-the-go using high quality materials all authenticated with the iconic Kilner brand logo.

Review: Super simple fermentation so far - I am reviewing the 5-piece fermentation set. Examining the jar, you can tell it's well made but I had a few questions so I had to contact the manufacturer who is located in England. Firstly, there is a floating cup inside the airlock, which I was confused about. The rubber bung is the stopper, and the airlock is the tube section and within it is a thinner tube. You put on the wooden lid, and then push the bung and airlock which are one piece into the hole. The floating cup sits on top of the thinner tube inside the airlock. You fill the airlock 1/2 to 3/4 to the top of the floating cup with water and then put the lid back on. There are tiny holes in the airlock lid that releases the fermentation gases. That was not in the instructions, so I thought I'd mention that. Also I didn't have enough produce to fill the jar so I placed a cabbage leaf on top of my jalapenos and then placed the stones on the cabbage leaf, because the jalapenos were floating up and around the stones. I am including a picture of that and the airlock. I just started my ferment and it's supposed to take only 5 to 7 days so I will report back after that. ****By day 4 I felt they were sufficiently fermented and put them in the fridge, in a mason jar with just a lid, but kept the cabbage leaf which now can keep them submerged without the stones. They will continue to slowly ferment since it's cold and hopefully will last me a while.****
Review: Great for making sauerkraut! - I purchased this fermentation set for my cousin at her request. She had purchased the same product at an Amish market to make sauerkraut in and wanted another one. The kit arrived quickly and complete. The jar has a large mouth for easy access to add your ingredients and cleaning. The kit works wonderfully as expected. She uses the included recipe for sauerkraut and it is delicious. The jar makes it easy!

*by A***A on February 5, 2026*

I really love this fermentation jar! Everything looks high-quality, well-made, and thoughtfully designed. It’s very convenient to use, and you can tell the product is made with care and good materials. Unfortunately, one set arrived missing a single part. I contacted the seller, and the customer service was excellent. The seller responded very quickly, was very kind, and immediately offered a solution. They were ready to send me a replacement, but since the item was temporarily out of stock, I received a full refund. Despite this small issue, I am extremely satisfied with both the product and the seller’s service. I truly liked this jar and will definitely order it again. Highly recommend!
