The Airlock S-Shaped creates a closed fermentation from inward contaminants. It allows CO² to blow out but will not allow any O² or contaminants into the fermenter.
Additional Information:
It is ideal to fill the Airlock with Ethanol as this will prevent bacteria from growing in the Airlock and if it accidentally gets sucked into the Beer, it will be harmless and will not affect the Beer flavour. It will just very slightly increase ABV.
It is recommended to use a Grommet for Bucket Fermenter Lids along with the Airlock in order to create a seal point between the Airlock body and the Fermenter Lid.
Instructions for Use:
Fill the Airlock with pre-boiled water, Ethanol or sanitizer mixture.
Insert into the pre-drilled Hole / Bung on the Fermenter.
PLEASE NOTE:
If fermenting in a fridge or freezer, please remember to check the Airlock for moisture loss.
It is ideal to fill the Airlock with Ethanol or Salty water to stop it from freezing or evaporating through to the chill plate of the fridge/freezer.
The colour of the caps on the Airlock S-Shaped unit may vary and no lid is supplied.
This Airlock excludes silicone bung and/or grommet.
Price is per single unit.
