The vessel and lid are made from polypropylene and are BPA-free.


Use:

To make the vessel easier to open, lift the lid slightly by gently pulling on the handle, insert something such as a spoon handle into the gap, and then slide it around the edge of the vessel.

Do not clean the vessels with abrasive sponges, as these may scratch the surface and create a place where contamination can develop.


Note:

You can improve the seal by coating the rim of the vessel with petroleum jelly or cooking oil. Before preparing your wash, disinfect the fermentation vessel thoroughly with metabisulfite.

Storage with protection from UV radiation

To prevent damage caused by UV radiation, empty or filled vessels must not be stored outdoors. If this is not possible due to storage conditions, the vessels and lids must be stored in a way that protects them from UV radiation. For example, pallets containing vessels and lids can be covered with a UV-resistant plastic tarpaulin.

 

Storing empty vessels

As the vessels and lids are sensitive to weather conditions, they should be stored in a dry place at a constant temperature. This not only protects them from moisture but also effectively prevents condensation, which can damage packaging decorated with offset printing, IML or digital printing. Furthermore, despite the use of an antistatic agent, contamination with dust or dirt cannot be ruled out, so the vessels must be stored in a clean room.
