How to turn glass jars into glass shards

Thursday, August 30, 2018

Since I have fairly low expectations for how this first batch is going to turn out, I decided to play with the recipe and make a strawberry brew.

I ordered four one-gallon fermenting jars with lids, a bag of twenty rubber grommets, and six three-piece airlocks from Amazon. The package arrived with one of the glass jars broken. “Broken” probably isn’t the right word.

The pictures of the item on Amazon showed the individual jars wrapped in bubble wrap. However, the package arrived with bubble wrap around the outside of the inner box, leaving the jars to flop around inside the box with only the divider in between.

Amazon credited a portion of the purchase price and I ordered a single jar and four spare lids. I split a couple of the original lids trying to drill the hole out for the airlock grommets.
