Help buying large glass jars

Edit: I've now started a new thread about this on the "I want to buy-t or do-it " section. Please ignore this one now.


Hi.

Not sure if this is the best section but I'm looking to get a couple of large glass jars - the ones with the two part screw lids, sometimes called Mason or Ball Mason jars.

Has anyone come across a cheap source for these in the UK? I've seen some at £9 for three in John Lewis (1 litre) but I was hoping for 1.5 litre or even 2 litre.

Anyone know where I can get those?

I want them to start making my own Kefir drink.

Thanks.

Kilner jars? They sell two litre ones in Dunelm Mill

Kilner is the main glass jar brand over here. Go into any Wilko and you'll find some.

Wilco do Kilner 1L jars for £3 at the minute.

Can you scale your production down a bit, OP?!
I notice Asda have drink dispenser glass tanks for 7.50 but they may not be able to cope with the pressure...

Thanks for the replies here. I may have to go with the Kilner 1 litre jars - perhaps from Wilco.


I'll stop this thread here and start a new one on the section mentioned by pogofish.
