  • Are the half-gallon and gallon the same size for the lid? Or the quart size and the half-gallon size? What about the pint and quart, would either fit the wide mouth mason jars?
    Thanks!

  • Each of the lids is designed for the specific size jar. They are all different, and none of them fit a standard mason jar.

  • Would this lid fit on a regular wide mouth canning jar?
  • These lids fit only the Fermented Vegetable Master jars, which come in four sizes. The diameter of the lid and the thread are different from standard mason jars.

  • Can you explain the physical set up starting with lid for us dummies?
  • This item is simply the replacement lid and airlock for the Fermented Vegetable Master. The FVM jar is not a standard canning size so a replacement lid can be very handy if a piece happens to get lost. As for how it works, the airlock is filled with water which allows the gasses created during fermentation to escape but keeps unwanted new air (which could encourage mold) and pests from getting into your fermenting vegetables.

  • Is there a seal of some kind in the plastic lid that goes against the glass jar to keep air out?
  • There is no seal in this lid, but it is not required for the lid to be entirely airtight to get a good fermentation environment.
