It is a cost-effective fermentation container with capacity of 30 L that will allow you to prepare your favourite homemade liquor. It is made of white 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. They are also resistant to discolourations occurring as a result contact with tannins from the fruit. The lid with an opening and fermentation stopper with 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.
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.
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.
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%.
The set includes:
- 30 L fermentation container,
- lid with an opening,
- fermentation stopper with plug - universal.
Storage with UV Protection
To prevent damage caused by UV radiation, empty or filled containers must not be stored outdoors. If this is not possible due to storage conditions, containers and lids should be stored in a way that protects them from UV radiation. This can be done, for example, by covering pallets with containers and lids with a UV-resistant plastic tarpaulin.
Storage of Empty Containers
Since containers 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 water condensation, which could damage packaging, particularly those decorated with offset prints, IML applications, or digital prints. Furthermore, despite the use of antistatic agents, dust or dirt contamination cannot be ruled out, so storage in a clean room is necessary.
Every country has its own legal regulations governing the manufacturing of ethyl alcohol, wine products, and spirits, introducing them onto the market, and regarding sanctions for non-compliance.
