This is what I use on my gallon carboys when I'm making wine and mead. One of the problems is that it's not really leak proof and CO2 leaks out both through the threads of the cap as well as To fix this, I taped the jug and the air lock stem with plumber's tape. You've got a good seal there. The reason I use this instead of a rubber or silicone stopper is as follows When I try to secure the stopper in the jug, I have great difficulty holding it in place. Even when I make sure everything is dry, it wiggles its way out. Since I don't have to deal with stoppers like these, I just add plumber's tape to them. I've had much more success dealing with them.
Since these cost more than $50, I would have expected them to last a bit longer. The caps I purchased cracked within three one gallon batches, and I could not even finish fermenting three one gallon batches without breaking two. During the rack from primary to secondary, they both split, so a total of two times they had to be screwed. other customer reviews say, they split fairly easily and allow air to get inside. That was a complete waste of my time and money, I should have stuck with corks instead.
The product fits a 1 gallon bottle, but the crack allowed air to enter the container. The plastic out of the air lock split from the middle to the bottom, so I'm not sure if the air lock was pushed in too far, or if pressure built up. Unfortunately, I did not realize this for quite a few weeks because it bubbled up at first while the fermantation was vigorous, but as it settled down a little, air began to escape from the crack and the bubbling slowed down significantly. By then I had already waited for about a week and a half before I could order rubber stoppers. I took care of the one gallon I had and was still able to finish the wine, but it tasted differently from the other gallons I had made. found them to be pretty bad, but the flavor was gone. I have not used these since then.
I have a husband who gets help from an aid service, and sometimes what they think is garbage isn't. Your website had this on it and I was so happy to see it.
There are ones that fit in one gallon glass water jugs which are sold at whole foods markets. Small batch brewing is a great use for these.
It is so easy for them to break. I found cracks in all four of mine after just one use and I don't think I forced the airlock all the way in the hole.
For one primary fermentation, I was responsible. About three months after being installed, the top rim began to crack. Not much else to say except to say that it's good once.
This is the screw cap to a gallon jug, what more can I A perfect fit for my glass carboy, bought this for that purpose. I think it's pretty good.
