These airlocks are rated high since they are good quality and have good price
5/5

I use these airlocks for winemaking. I have airlocks that fit my 5 gallon and 6 gallon glass carboys, and the bungs fit these as well. Tips for writers Since they are filled with vodka (cheap bottom shelf stuff) instead of water, things like bacteria can be kept from growing in them, and if some does spill into the batch, it should have little effect on the.

No rubber is used on the stopping part, and as a result, it There are no problems with the airlocks, but there is a problem with the stoppers
3/5

In addition to being too large to be contained in a gallon jug and in some carboys, the rubber is also of Slipping out of the hole is due to the stiffness and slippery nature of the rubber. The stick might fit around the neck of a gallon jug if the rubber was softer. As opposed to a rubber stopper, this is more like a soft plastic Basically, they are useless in the absence of a working stopper.

It is inaccurately represented in size
3/5

The room is too small for three Carboys are five gallons in size. Make sure you know the size before you buy. A response was received from the seller confirming that they would 100% fit a three-pound package Poly carboys are available in gallon sizes. I cannot even begin to imagine how they would fit and they are so It would be not worth my time to drive 90 minutes to the UPS store closest to me to return the item. In the long run, I will replace the bung with a larger one, but for the time being I will begin to seek out larger airlock bungs.

This is an easy-to-clean product
5/5

In my opinion, the ones that give a better measure of fermentation speed with a single bubble are better. It's much harder for me to monitor it, or I am making the wine incorrectly. I still have no problems with it and it doesn't break like other ones I have bought in the past. It is very easy to take care of and very worth it for the money!.

Airlocks received in damaged or used condition
3/5

There are used and damaged airlocks in my package. Several little scratches are evident, as well as two cracks on the inside and outside of the locks (I posted photos). To develop damage like this, these things would have had to be used extensively over a period of time and/or bounced around. Obviously this company is doing some sketchy stuff, so even if you get unscratched airlocks I would be hesitant to use them.

A nice and sturdy piece of furniture
5/5

For me, the old 3-piece standard is always the best choice, as it is solidly built and will last years with the right care. There's no way this mechanical ventilation system could have been screwed up, and it's extremely efficient. There is one small piece of advice I would offer to a new brewer, if you are planning to make a brew that takes some time, like mead, which can take between six and twelve months to finish. It is recommended that you use tequila or vodka in place of water in your air locks to prevent mold and bacteria from growing.

This is an affordable set at a great.

5/5

It is important to have a wide variety of products when it comes to making spirits, and Amazon has been able to provide me with what I need, at the right time, and at a great price. I received my order on time and received a replacement right on target.
