The Fermenter's Favorite Labeling Companion

If you've ever lost track of which jar is kimchi and which is your horseradish kraut, you're not alone. The Nelko P21 is a pint-sized powerhouse that brings order to your bubbling chaos. No cords, no ink, no mystery brews — just clean, quick labeling from your phone to your jar in under a minute.


Why It's in My Fermentation Drawer

  • Bluetooth enabled — connects easily to iOS or Android
  • Rechargeable + inkless — thermal printing means no cartridges to mess with
  • Comes with tape — includes a roll to get you started right away
  • Easy app with icons, QR codes, frames + fonts — make it cute or keep it clinical
  • Perfect label sizes for fermentation jars, swing-top bottles, pantry bins

How I Actually Use It

  • Labeling jars with ferment dates and batch notes
  • Marking second-ferment kombucha flavors (because what was that pink one?)
  • Categorizing spice blends and dried herbs from my own apothecary shelf
  • Creating a "use next" zone in the fridge for ferments getting a little too funky

📌 A tidy tool for chaotic kitchens — especially when your fridge looks like a science experiment.
