Cleaning Your Fermentation Vessel
- I remove the wire from the jar and lid of the Pickl-It and wipe it off if needed. Otherwise, I do not clean it.
- I rinse the Pickl-It jar, lid, weights (if using), gasket, and airlock in hot water.
- I add some white vinegar to the jar, fill it with hot water, and let it soak for about an hour. I also soak the lid, weights, gasket, and airlock in a bowl of hot vinegar water.
- After their day at the spa, I dump the water out of the Pickl-It then scrub any “residue” out of the jar with a dedicated Pickl-It cleaning sponge. I then put it in the top rack of my dishwasher. I also put the lid and weights in top rack of the dishwasher.
- I sniff the gasket and airlock and if all is well, I rinse them in hot water, scrub them with some natural soap (again using the dedicated Pickl-It sponge) and let them air dry on a new dish towel.
- When my Pickl-It is in the dishwasher, I run it on the hottest wash and heat dry as well.
- Bam! Cleaned and sterilized.

Well, this is where I get a little lackadaisical. I have two sets of flip top bottles. One I use for kombucha and one I use for water kefir. Since I have a pretty continuous supply going, once the bottle is empty, I add a little vinegar and hot water to it, swirl it around, let it soak for a few minutes, then rinse it out. That’s it. I’m not worried about getting it super sterilized since the same product is going to go back in it.
