In order to ferment certain foods you want an airtight lid that allows gases to escape without allowing oxygen to enter the jar. I did my homework researching different types of airlock lids. I found the method below to be the cheapest and easiest to make.
Here is how I did it:
(1) Go to your local home brew store and buy airlocks ($1.09) and grommets ($.45).
(2) Go to Ace Hardware or here and buy plastic lids that fit canning jars. You can get wide mouth or regular mouth sizes. I prefer wide mouth. ($4.49 for 8)
(3) Go to etsy.com Primal Kitchen and buy seals to make the jars airtight. ($6.98 for 4)
(4) Using a 1/2 inch drill bit to put a hole in the lids, insert the grommet and airlock and you are done. It takes a minute to assemble each one.
These sell for $9.99 here but it only costs $3.38 when you make it yourself!
