FastRack 1 Gallon Mason Jar Wide Mouth & Twin Bubble Airlock (Pack of 2) | for Fermentation, Pickling, Brewing & Dry Storage – BPA-Free One Gallon Glass Jar with Lid

The media could not be loaded. Worth the money even with some issues.Why I bought these:I wanted affordable, clear, glass, wide mouth jars. The included lids and airlocks were a good fit for my needs.-Clear...makes it easy to monitor the progress.-Glass...less worry about the chemicals in plastic and good for storage.-Wide Mouth...easy to clean. You can get your hand inside easily. Also easier to put stuff in them...no funnel.-Price...good value for building a small batch wine setup. I plan to start a new 3 liter batch every 2 weeks so I need a few of these.Unboxing these:The jars arrived in good condition. They were packaged well. I think the glass is thick enough and good for fermenting. I'm not sure about washing these in the dishwasher but who would need to? The lids were a little cheaper in build quality but seal well and work just fine. I had to play with the rubber grommet to get the airlock to fit right but it wasn't a problem. The airlocks were shipped inside of the jar and one of mine was broken. All of the airlocks like these are made of cheap plastic so I'm not surprised. I have a few extras already so it's no big deal. I bought this package deal mostly for the jars/lids.Conclusion: You can't beat the value of this deal. These are a good price and will work well for brewers and fermenters with particular needs.

Bad news first:Glass is somewhat thinner than the industrial plug stopper versions.Good news:It has a wide mouth for extremely easy cleaning versus the industrial bottles.If you're not moving your jars then you really don't have to worry about breaking them.These come with the sealing lids, rubber gaskets, and vent systems with them.If you are making meads, cyser, or anything where you're putting large fruit then you're going to want a wide mouth opening for easy removal so you don't have to use a coat hanger to pull out the chunks. The white mouth also allows you to get your hand in there and touch the surfaces with the soapy sponge to thoroughly clean it.If you're starting out hobby alcohol making then these are perfect for you. If you want to step up your game you should look for a five gallon carboy with a wide mouth. But for me, I make small batches and so I have six of these with different flavors going. I also have two extra so I can rack them over. If you're contemplating these and you're reading this review just pull the trigger on these. These are the ones you want. You won't regret these for use as fermenting jars.

Excellent vessels for getting started with brewing home wine! Far easier to clean these than traditional carboys and the airlocks prevent any mess from happening. The plastic lids are the only question mark with regard to longevity, but I'm sure they'll last fine with proper handling. Would buy again.

Great price and functionality, but glass is a bit thin. Both cracked within a couple of years - one while stirring with a metal spoon and the other while bumping on the edge of a countertop. The wide mouth is great for brewing, much preferred over traditional carboys.

I bought these to try making homemade wine in. They worked very well and the air lock was easy to clean. The jars are made of a durable glass. You could probably put them in a dishwasher, but they are also very simple to hand wash. For the price, these are a great purchase for someone just starting out in the wine making world.

Great jars, plenty if room for mixing brews.

Received a day late but arrived unbroken and as discribed

My packaging was damaged, and the inside of one of the glass jars has a metalic mark against the glass that wasnt removable. This was difficult to return with the packaging broken, and doesnt seem safe to have food in.
