Kefir Caps - Wide Mouth Mason Jar Lids - Live Culture Grains Strainer - Home Fermentation Starter Kit - 2 Pack

I purchased these lids when starting to make my own kefir. They are easy to use and work so well I don't need to use a strainer to separate the kefir from the grains. I also like the fact that they come in a package of two lids of different colors so I can tell which is the current batch in process and which is the already processed batch of kefir.

I bought the jars to go with the strainers thinking things were going to be simpler than using a handheld strainer; not so, the strainers block up really easily and you can't get the kefir out. When a handheld strainer blocks up, you use a spoon or spatula to move the grains around to get things flowing; you cannot do this from the inside of the jar, all the jars and strainer kits are left on the shelf unused.

Me han gustado muchísimo, para el kéfir de agua son estupendos. Me gustan más que el kefirko, que también lo tengo. El filtro de Masontops está mejor diseñado, nunca se escapa nada. Son aptas para los botes de 86 mm, yo los compro en Koro o aquí mismo en Amazon. Ojo, hay que aprovechar cuando los bajan de precio, yo los he conseguido por 14,99.

Great design. Very well made, sturdy, dishwasher safe, easy to use. Fits perfectly on wide mouth mason jar. Easy to burp, or to open/close the air flow depending on what stage of fermentation you’re in. Would be perfect for water kefir, goat milk kefir, or lower-fat cow’s milk kefir. Higher fat kefir is too thick for the size of the mesh.

Great quality, easy to use, and clean.
