The containers feature a printed capacity scale, as well as valuable hints for preparing homemade wine, beer, and distillation batches. Attention!!! Product in Ukrainian - we also offer containers with information in other languages.
It is a cost-effective complete set that will allow you to prepare your favourite homemade liquor. The container is made of transparent plastic approved for contact with food, characterised by high strength and elasticity. The containers have a certificate of the Polish National Institute of Hygiene (PZH), approving them for contact with food products.
The containers are resistant to discolourations occurring as a result contact with tannins from the fruit. The colour of the container is not accidental - in any other colour the material could become discoloured under the influence of the alcohol produced, which could result in passage of toxic dyeing substances into wine.
The lid with an opening and universal plug included in the kit enable sealing the container or installing an airlock. Meanwhile, drilling an extra opening allows installing an angular tube and conducting fermentation in multiple stacked containers at the same time.
The swivel tap included allows beer, wine and other types of fermentation to be conveniently poured off the lees.
An airlock filled with water is used in the fermentation process in order to protect the batch content against oxygenation, while at the same time enabling regular emission of carbon dioxide produced in the process taking place. Thanks to the moving water gauge we can notice the changing intensity of the fermentation process - from the turbulent stage (intensive bubbling) to the stationary one. Water evaporation is natural, which is why it is necessary to remember to top it up in the airlock. Additionally, the airlock protects the batch against fruit flies that might get to the inside and which may, in turn, introduce acetate bacteria that change ethanol into acetic acid.
Container and lid made of polypropylene, BPA-free product.
How to use:
In order to facilitate opening the container, it is necessary to open the lid slightly, slide e.g. a teaspoon handle into the resulting gap, and then pull that object around the rim of the container.
It is not recommended to clean the containers using rough washcloths, as this may cause scratches on the surface that might become a source of contamination.
When installing the tap on the container it is necessary to place the gasket on the outer side of the container. This ensures full tightness.
NOTE: These containers can be tightened further by smearing the container rim with petroleum jelly or edible oil. Before preparing the batch, the fermentation container should be disinfected thoroughly using potassium metabisulphite or Oxi Turbo.
Maximum batch temperature allowed: 85°C.
The temperature of the containers prior to filling should be at least 5°C.
Maximum alcohol concentration in the batch: 50%.
