Angular airlock for containers - shatterproof

A shatterproof, angular airlock intended for installation on the side of fermentation containers, enabling release of carbon dioxide during fermentation and securing the batch against access of flies and other insects. 

• Saves space - the angular airlock is intended for installation on the side of fermentation containers, which enables stacking the containers.
• Durability - the airlock offered is shatterproof, in contrast to alternatives made of glass, and will serve for many years.
• Safety of use - during inserting and removing the airlock from the stopper there is no risk of the airlock breaking and cutting hands. 
• Easy filling with liquid - the wide chalice facilitates pouring water in for the fermentation duration.
• Made in Poland - the angular airlock was designed and manufactured by Browin.

This angular airlock is a Polish products, intended for use during fermentation. Its design enables placing in on the side wall of the fermentation container. Fermentation containers with angular airlocks can be stacked, thus reducing the floor surface area occupied.

The airlock is made of high quality, durable material, thanks to which you do not need to worry that it will get shattered or cut you.

The material used for making the airlock has been approved for contact with food.

The airlock is compatible with a universal fermentation stopper with plug.

How to use:

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. Failure to do it may result in too intensive oxygenation of liquid, leading to oxidation of the ethanol created to acetic acid. This adverse process can also be caused by fruit flies that manage to enter the container.

NOTE:

in case of limited possibility to check the water level in the airlock, it can be filled with an oily liquid that evaporates to a lesser degree.
