Choosing the right jar for your sourdough starter is an important step on your sourdough endeavor. With the right jar, your starter will have the perfect environment to grow and thrive. The best jar for your starter is one that is large enough, made of non-reactive material, and has a lid that allows for air circulation.
These glass Weck jars with loose-fitting glass lids are the best jars in the business for homing your sourdough starter! Their loose-fitting glass lids provide great air circulation and thereby the optimal environment for maintaining healthy starter. The 850ml size and wide mouth design is also ideal for feeding your starter and giving it room to rise. I love this size because it is plenty big enough but it won’t take up too much space in your kitchen. They are 14.7cm high and have a 10cm diameter.
These jars also have countless other uses!
Each jar from FloatyGoat comes with a with loose-fitting glass lid & signature orange removable rubber jar seal.
Weck jars are made in Germany, and made of thick, high-quality glass.
It’s also a good idea to have a backup jar on hand. This way, you can transfer your starter to the backup jar while you’re cleaning your main jar, or experimenting with different ratios.
