The stopper for airlock is the matching insert for fitting an airlock cleanly and reliably into the lid of a fermentation vessel. Carbon dioxide can then escape without pressure during fermentation, while vinegar flies, fruit flies and unwanted microorganisms are kept out.
Benefits at a glance
- matches the airlock
- food-safe
- resistant to alcohol and mash constituents
- strongly tapered on the outside
- outer diameter of approx. 3.5 to 5.8 cm
- enables clean fitting into the lid of a fermentation vessel
Application
A suitable opening is drilled into the lid of the fermentation vessel using a hole saw or a crown drill bit. The stopper is then inserted and the airlock placed inside it.
Thanks to its tapered shape, the stopper can be fitted into openings of various sizes. It holds the airlock stably and seals the opening in the lid.
Additions
Clean mash management helps to avoid faulty fermentation and to improve the quality of the spirit. Suitable products include a turbo yeast, Biogen-M, Liquefier Spezial and the matching airlock.
For strongly foaming batches, anti-foam agent can be helpful.
