  • Stopper included - the set includes a universal bung with a stopper, allowing you to use a fermentation airlock or seal the vessel tightly when necessary.

This economical 30 L fermentation vessel is ideal for preparing your favourite homemade beverages. It is made from highly durable and flexible white plastic suitable for contact with food. The vessels have PZH approval for contact with food products and are resistant to staining caused by tannins from fruit. The included lid with an opening and universal bung with a stopper allow you either to seal the vessel or fit a fermentation airlock. Drilling an additional opening yourself allows you to install an angled airlock and ferment in several vessels stacked on top of one another at the same time.


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


Use:

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

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


Warning:

You can improve the seal further by coating the rim of the vessel with petroleum jelly or cooking oil. Before preparing your batch, sanitise the fermentation vessel thoroughly using 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 because of 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 plastic tarpaulin that is resistant to UV radiation.

 

Storage of empty vessels

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