FastRack 1 Gallon Regular Mason Jar with White Airtight Lid | Glass Canisters with Airtight Lids | Large Mouth Glass Jar for Food Storage, Canning, Fermentation, Pickling

Perfect for kombucha! I fill with warm tap water to heat the glass, before pouring the hot water in for my sweet tea. It didn't crack, so A+++! Because I'm using this for kombucha, I don't need the lid, as I use flip top glass bottles for second fermentation, to ensure max bubbles (carbonation). The jar was well wrapped and packaged. Excellent price too! The glass is double walled, so it's pretty thick! I definitely recommend for kombucha. For pickling, something with a better lid would be advised. It says airtight, and it very well may be, but personally I use mason jars for pickling. This jar is best for kombucha! Update: Ive ordered several of these; Arkansas (made in USA) glass and Pakash(made in Italy)both have an excellent jar, I first ordered from them. The last jar I ordered from Amazon (shipped and sold by), the lid was broken upon arrival, I've since returned and am awaiting a replacement. The glass seemed good quality but does not state country of origin, the lid was the only broken part (it was cracked along the screw on part).........and although I usually don't use the lid I actually purchased this one for a scoby hotel, as my scobies are multiplying quickly!

I purchased 3 of these but only 2 came with lids. I've had them for over a year and they are holding up very well. I use them continuously for kombucha batches. I would definitely recommend.

This is a utilitarian jar perfect for so many uses.

Great, simple 1 gallon glass jar! Using it for water kiefer fermentation and so far it is working great! Includes a plastic lid which is helpful. Item came packaged well and in perfect condition. Would recommend for home fermentation products. I feel it is well priced for the jar and you don't have to worry about pickle residue tainting your newly fermented food. Pickle flavor water kiefer is not good! Also, not all glass is created equally, usda certification ensures nothing harmful will be leached into your food!

Standard fair quality. Kind of medium-thin glass, wouldn't want it to bang around in a dishwasher or bump it on a countertop. The price of these things have gone up by almost 6 dollars in a matter of weeks but nothing has changed about the product... It's not like the quality has improved..Just the price.. You can get them at the store for way cheaper. Sometimes I am a victim of Amazon prime shopping!!! (When you just order and get into a clicking frenzie because of the 2 day shipping!!) they are great for brewing up kombucha, they do the job. They arrived on time as well.

I bought this jar to make sun tea, which I loved drinking in the summer as a kid. The jar is just what I needed!This jar is great because it does not have a spout. Most glass jars I found had spouts. These spouts inevitably leak, rendering the jar useless. Also, sun tea has been known to generate bacteria, which can make you sick. While I have never experienced this after drinking gallons and gallons of sun tea, I would prefer not to press my luck. The spouts on tea containers are very difficult to clean and could, I suspect, harbor harmful bacteria. A simple glass jar is much easier to clean than one with a spout. After brewing the tea, I simply pour the entire gallon into a plastic pitcher.The lid on this jar is great as well. Though a tight fitting lid was not necessary for my purposes, I'm sure others have need for a jar with a good lid. The lid is made of plastic and is lined with a membrane that creates a very nice seal, much like a plastic soda bottle cap. I have placed the lid on the top rack of the dishwasher a few times now, and it still creates a great seal each time I use it.All in all, this is a simple jar that does exactly what it ought to do.

I bought this jar so that I could ferment kombucha. It has worked well for that purchase and is easy to clean and easy to see into while brewing. It is sturdy and the glass appears to be well-made. It even fell off the counter once and did not break, which was a great relief to me. The lid is metal and while I'm not using it while brewing, I like that it isn't a chemical-leaching plastic, which would make me sad. Great glass jar for making kombucha, I will likely order more in other sizes as well for different flavors.

This is absolutely perfect for brewing my Kombucha. It's a great price and a quality item. The jar is substantial but not so heavy that I struggle taking it down from a high shelf. It is easy to clean and I expect this will last a long time. I flavor my kombucha by removing the scoby and adding a home made fruit syrup directly to the jar, this has a wide enough lid where I can insert my whole hand and a 1 cup measuring cup easily. I will probably purchase a second one from the same seller when I decide to brew larger quality/ multiple batches at the same time.
