I purchased these bottles to use for making kombucha, since I wanted to use some good fermentation-grade bottles that have the flip-top style lids for good results.When the box first arrived, I was worried about one of the bottles being broken or damaged. I didn't hear any glass clattering around in the box, so I was happy and thought

I use these to do a 2nd fermentation of water kefir and they are great. I've tried another brand where the bottles were shorter and squatter and I like these much better. They are easy to open and close and do a great job of letting the carbonation build up. Sometimes I have a little explosion the carbonation has built up so much, but

Luckily I read some of the reviews before using my swing top bottles and decided to inspect them before using. My bottles have dozens of small air bubbles in every single bottle. I expected fermentation quality swing top bottles and that is not what I received. If your bottles have air pockets in them DO NOT FERMENT IN THEM. It is

I have used these bottles a few times now for secondary fermentation of my homebrew kombucha with no problems. The bottles can easily hold the carbonation pressure and I've had zero leaks. The box also came with extra seals which is

These bottles are great. My only word of advice to it everybody who goes a foot near this product, though, is OPEN SLOWLY. I have learned the hard way that if you just let it pop swiftly and you don't hold it down to slowly open it, the entire lid/metal device can fly off completely and you'll have a useless bottle. Also, that sounds

These bottles are heavy duty and have stainless hardware, however, it is clear they are, at best, factory seconds. Every bottle has multiple defects and flaws cast into the glass. I'm a bit concerned that under pressure they may not hold CO2 gas bubbles evenly, because most of the bubble defects and flaws are located along the long,

Great glass jug! Started my batches of mead no problem. when everything is mixed and you are ready to put the cork in with the air lock in...once you push the cork down, you are putting air pressure into the bottle. You will most likely see the cork pop up just a tad bit, its normal. You still have a good seal on the bottle. Don't freak

I got this to brew hard kombucha. I was doing it with a loose lid and no airlock, but wanted to upgrade to an airlock. At first I had the same issue many people said in the comments about the cork not fitting tight. I could push it all the way down so it was level with the top of the jar and watch it rise out on it's own. What worked was

After having an older jar explode (Hey, Root Beer's powerful stuff!) I wanted something with a safety valve.

These are perfect for fermentation of test batches. Seem pretty solid, no imperfections noticed. The bottom inside is convex so might not be good for magnetic stirrer. Nice that they included a warranty information card.The black lid screws on and has one of those waxy papers underneath to form a seal, should be adequate to prevent

The stoppers will not stay in. They may look solid, but overnight they will pop out and let your batch get contaminated. I do not believe other reviews saying they didn't have this problem, and that you just have to push them in harder. The only time they did not pop back out is when I pushed them in so far they were flush with the top

I got this for my Kombucha. My family won't drink it with me untill they know there is not alcohal in it. So I bought the least expensive test I could find, the Alcohlmeter, thingking I can get my own jar to use to measure with. But it was completely worthless by iteself. I was unsure about getting the glass jar for 3 wasted months.

There is not a lot that can go wrong with an Airlock, but I'm definitely happy with this set of Airlocks and the price is pretty good too, compared to buying the same product in a brewing supply store.For those of you not very familiar with Airlocks, this is a device that is needed when brewing things like beer, wine, meads, etc. You

I've always used three-piece airlocks in my home brewing, but decided to try the twin-bubble version to see if I liked it any better. I honestly don't know. This is easier to work with from the standpoint that you don't have to assemble the three separate pieces. You just fill this to the "max" line with vodka or santizer, pop

These are great in theory, but they really need to be handled only with the gentlest of hands because they're so fragile, made of very thin, brittle plastic. Once one cracks, it's all over. Far better are the three-piece (funnel shaped) airlocks (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0041F2DL4), which are not only robust but also very easy

These came packed extremely well. I started my first brew with them this morning. At first the stoppers kept slipping out of the top of the carboys upon further inspection it was because the inside of the neck was wet as well as the stopper. This was remedied by drying both parts.I am glad that I debugged my issue before piling another

First let's be clear, It is exactly what it says. An inexpensive 1 gallon fermenting jug with airlock and plug. It is a thin walled glass jug and as such will always be at risk of cracking if bumped against another glass jug or solid surface sink or counter. If you want for fermented teas, dont! It will pop with a lid on. Speaking of

This is a great basic starter home brewing kit. I brewed the Block Party Amber Ale that came with the kit and it surpassed my expectations... delicious!

I actually bought this FastRack to replace one of the old school round plastic bottle trees that was the only real option when I started brewing. My bottle tree had stacking rings and could hold up to 90 bottles but was bulky and awkward to deal with. It didn't store nicely because it's round, the bottles hung on the pegs, and the whole

The fastrack is a great drying solution, and I definitely prefer it to any bottle tree. If you brew with standard longnecks you'll love it. But if you like to bottle with the shorter, wider bottles (the kind Sierra Nevada and Lagunitas use) it just doesn't work as well. The bottles don't fit neatly in the holes without pushing against

If you're a much heavier drinker than I am and you sink-wash a lot of bottles all at once, then one of these will probably be very handy for you.

The bottles arrived very quickly. Much faster than I expected, given shipping delays with the pandemic. The bottles arrived in perfect condition.Each bottle has the same defect if you can call it that. It must be the way they were made.

I liked these because they are simple and cheap. However, I have learned that they are very easy to destroy. If you grab the airlock anywhere but at the very base, it will crack down the length of the vessel, rendering it useless.
