5.0 out of 5 stars must have for home wine or beer making! December 18, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
These are simple (and very affordable!), effective, and amazingly convenient for making your own wine at home. Note that you MUST also purchase stoppers with holes if you don't already have them. (They really ought to be sold together to save on shipping!)

I was having trouble making cherry and blackberry wines because of the fruit being pushed by the bubbles up into the balloons, causing them to tip over and spill syrup all over the place. A few days into fermenting, I switched my balloons out for these along with "Drilled Rubber Stopper (Carboy Bung Sets of 3)", and have been incredibly happy! No more spills, just little bubbles and clean airlocks & bungs!

If you're using a plastic milk-gallon jug, you probably should fill the airlock with vodka instead of water, since when you pick up and set down (or even push in on the sides)the milk jug, water can get sucked through the airlock down into the fermenter. Now, I have done many gallons with just water and had it suck back in, yet NEVER a spoiled batch. To be on the safe side, you can fill your airlock with vodka instead. Note that with glass jugs (empty applejuice jugs!), this is NOT a risk.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, cheap, and works well! November 24, 2009
This style of airlock is far superior to the "s" shape airlocks for one major reason. It is pretty much impossible for contaminated or "outside" air or fluid to make it past this airlock and into your fermenter. With the older style "s" locks, it was just too easy for the fluid acting as a barrier between the clean fermenter and the "bugs" in the outside air to be sucked backwards into the fermenter, thus exposing your beer to contamination.

Get a few of these and you won't regret it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for making fermented foods: salsa, kraut, etc. November 18, 2012
By Jules
Amazon Verified Purchase
Some guy on the internet gave details of how he used this airlock with a certain grommet and a plastic canning jar lid to make the perfect, inexpensive gas-releasing lid for making fermented foods. I ordered the proper-sized rubber grommets on Amazon (made by Western Rubber, part number MR-200-0459). Using a 1/2" drill bit, I drilled a hole in the middle of a plastic canning jar lid, then inserted the grommet. The airlock is filled with water to the fill line, then inserted into the grommet. Put your ferments into the canning jar, seal with this lid and set them somewhere for the required period. Voila! No "burping" needed. The gasses escape gradually and it works perfectly. You can make one of these for under $2.00. I'm making several jars of salsa right now...yum!

This airlock works fine but I accidentally dropped it on the ground and it cracked. A one piece might be more durable.

These fit into standard carboy stoppers and work well. They're easy to clean, unlike the one piece airlocks. I will buy these again when the time comes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good pieces
Nice and easy to use, they will fit into any stopper that you will be using and are both very difficult to blow out, and very easy to clean. I would definitely recommend.
