Showerthought: My cloth lid works just as well as fancy locks

I got into fermenting with a simple cloth tied over my jar. People always talk up airlocks, but my pickles come out crispy every time. Why spend cash on special tops?

Remember that time I tried the loose lid trick for kombucha? Let's just say my ceiling got a new, lively paint job after a week. Sometimes the simple way works until it really, really doesn't.

Loose lids are fine, but you still need that cloth cover like james746 said.

Ever had mold sneak in with just cloth? What about in a really humid kitchen?
