Basic Assembly Instructions:

Insert the threaded steel rod into the face of the silicone disc that is the farthest from the fins and twist in a clockwise direction.Place the launcher on the countertop with the narrow side down.Insert the rod and plunger assembly. This will cause the fins on the silicone part to compress.Place assembly on mason jar with the pointed end of the rod entering the jar first. Center the launcher on the jar mouthPress the assembly until the plunger leaves the launcher. Push downwards until it rests in the uppermost region in the jar. You may have to adjust the adjusting rodCover the plunger with your brine or fermenting medium. Place gasket in a drilled lid. Insert 3 piece airlock into the hole. Push until 1/4″ of the tip of the airlock is visible on the bottom of the grommetRemove the cap from the airlock and add water to the fill line or 1/2 fullPlace assembled fermenting lid on your jar and follow fermenting procedure according to recipe

This is fermenting salsa. It was blender prepared and very hard to hold! This type of “mash” ferment will attempt to ruin by floatie development early in the ferment or by forming a powerful “plug” what will dislodge many fermenting weights.

Using the Pickle*Pusher is easy to do in 1/2 gallon mason jars BUT relies on the jar’s contents for support. Sauerkraut will support the Pickle*Pusher but salsa would not in the larger mason jar. ! Some people use in pint jars by altering their rod’s length to accommodate the smaller jar’s depth
