Tightly place the balloon on the vessel mouth and puncture it once or twice with a needle to allow CO2 to escape.

If you’ve always wanted to have a go at making your own delicious sauerkraut or kimchi but are unsure where to start, fear not – this special 1 litre glass fermentation jar with air release valve is all the equipment you need to begin fermenting at home. To make a basic sauerkraut that’s a world away from the stuff you find in supermarkets, all you need is cabbage and salt. Simply shred the cabbage and massage the salt into it until the cabbage goes soft and starts to produce a natural brining liquid. About five to ten minutes should do it and it’s really quite therapeutic. Add some caraway seeds for extra flavour, if you like, then put everything in this wide-mouthed fermentation and preserving jar, top up with water until the cabbage is covered, weigh it down with a cling-film-covered ramekin filled with baking beans and put the lid on. That’s it.

Together with the metal clip, the other important feature of these latch jars is their rubber gasket. Even though the disk method can also work with brined vegetables, there is always the chance that after a few days you will see it floating on the brine.The lid does not seal airtightly well enough, which may or may not be a problem. I have never had a batch of sauerkraut go bad because the lid has not been closed airtightly, but it is still something that should be mentioned and kept in mind.
