I think I bought 3/8" grommets but with the stem of the airlock being tapered you could use one a little larger.

It will depend upon the size of the airlock stem. Mine are tapered, so a couple different sizes of grommets would work. You want the airlock to fit very tightly. Here is a link on the grommet that may help. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/Rubber-Grommet-3MPL3?Pid=searchLisa B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08117238535383493210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507019520537221461.post-63191183344783119632012-07-25T09:02:56.223-05:002012-07-25T09:02:56.223-05:00Similar question to RDG & momma kath... but my...Similar question to RDG & momma kath... but my question is what size grommets to get. 1/4"?Angusbangushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826007557971795133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507019520537221461.post-65616593643786110122012-07-19T09:27:11.196-05:002012-07-19T09:27:11.196-05:00I have the same question as RDG.

I just haven't had a chance to write about them yet. <br /><br />I decided that until we know if we really like them, I am not going to invest in airlocks. I bought some glass votive candle holders at Target that fit perfectly inside wide-mouth jars and I'm using those as weights to hold the food under the brine. I also add whey to my brine. <br /><br />So far, Shane and I have loved everything veg I've fermented, but Kat doesn't like them.<br /><br />Hopefully next week I'll be able to write about it all.<br /><br />(BTW, plastic Ball lids aren't airtight. If you turn a full jar sideways, the liquid will leak out. At least that's my experience.)Annie at Haphazard Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13697469094043846339noreply@blogger.com
