What does that mean? Fermented? You can do that in a food grade
plastic bucket or container.
Canning jars are made (OK, carry the labels of) Kerr, Ball, Golden
Harvest in the USA, Bernardin in Canadia. Walmart has Kerr. Fleet
Farm has Kerr. Kmart likely has them, too. As might your local thrift
shop. If the thrift shop wants more than 50 cents for each jar and it
doesn't have a screw band, move on and buy new that will already have a
new band and lid.
