5 L Lady demijohn with a screw cap, stopper and a novel horizontal airlock is a perfect kit that you will appreciate when preparing homemade wine, mead, cider or beer, as well as stronger liquor. Demijohn, a bottle often also referred to a carboy, is fitted with a matching rubber stopper with a Ø28/26 mm opening and an extremely practical horizontal airlock. Such a solution combines professionalism with the comfort of preparing liquor and optimal use of space.
The innovative horizontal airlock was designed and manufactured by Browin.
From now on, when making your own wine, cider, mead or other liquor, you no longer have to think about choosing the right stopper and airlock - you get them all in this kit. At the same time, this kit will allow you to avoid the space-related problems that an airlock protruding above the demijohn can cause. Now you can find space for your batch more easily, for example between the rack shelves in the pantry. The 5 L carboy with horizontal airlock is a very convenient and practical way to make the most of space available, especially in small rooms.
This smart kit combines the high-quality materials of its individual components with the elegant shape of the Lady demijohn and the horizontal airlock. Together with the Lady demijohn, you receive a removable, plastic, yellow basket protecting it against shattering and insulating it from the ground. When used properly, these products will serve you for years.
The innovative design of the airlock allows it to be installed horizontally and saves space. The airlock allows carbon dioxide to escape during fermentation and protects the batch against flies and other insects. It is made of high-quality, durable plastic, making it safe to use - you do not have to worry about it breaking and injuring your hands. The wide cup makes it easy to pour in water for fermentation. Thanks to the moving water column you can notice the changing intensity of the fermentation process. Water evaporation is natural, which is why it is necessary to remember to top it up in the airlock. 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.
An essential part of the kit is an approved rubber stopper fitted to the opening of the demijohn, with a hole in which the airlock can be installed. It is recommended that the stopper is thoroughly washed with warm water and washing liquid and then dried thoroughly before use.
Stopper dimensions: top diameter - 28 mm, bottom diameter - 26 mm
When using the demijohn, remember that the glass should not be subjected to excessive thermal shocks, as too great a difference in temperature can damage it. It is recommended to wash glass products in lukewarm water with addition of, e.g., potassium metabisulphite or Oxi Turbo.
