Mead, Cider, Sake, and Other

For both carboys and buckets. In our opinion 3 piece airlocks are superior to the triple ripple type in that they can be taken apart and cleaned. However we do sell the triple ripple type (FE371) in case you are use to that type and would like to stay with it. Please Note: Stopper Not Included.

Our 1 gallon glass jar works great for holding small amounts of beer, wine or mead for aging, small batch fermentation, overflow storage and fermentation experiments.  Although it's really just a jar, some refer to it as a 1 gallon carboy when it is used for fermentation rather than serving. Some Suggested Uses Use to store excess wine when you press off and have more than you expected. Ferment small batches of mead, sake, fruit wine or anything else that strikes your fancy! Perform yeast experiments - split a batch of wine or beer into five 1 gal batches and ferment them with different yeast strains Uses a #6 stopper.

High quality, absolute rated .45 micron absolute filter with a hard caged body and gasketed ends. Thermally bonded end caps and ultrasonic welded media seams for a one piece construction. Absolute rated at 99.99% efficiency to remove bacteria for sterile filtering. Ideal for filtering white wine that has not completed a full malolactic fermentation. Filters meet FDA Title 21 regulations for beverage contact. Will work with our 10 inch cannister filter. What makes this filter really unique is the PES layer membrane with defined .45 micron hole size. This layer will not allow material to pass that is over .45 in size. This PES layer is also what makes this cartridge considerably more expensive than spun poly filters. Some cartridage filters are listed as being absolute but unless they have a PES layer they aren't. Wine to be filtered should already be very clear as this filter will load up quickly with material. It is a common practice to prefilter already settled wine with a 1 micron spun poly filter and then filter with this .45 micron absolute filter. Please note: these filters are not intended to be reusable.

It also works well for dry hopping in the keg, with pellet or whole hops, where it retains most all of the hop matter. Note: Dry hopping with pellets in a keg, using this bag, will throw a little matter into your beer, but it settles out pretty quickly and we have had good luck with this procedure. Perfect size for 1-2 ounces of pellets. For whole hops choose the 9x12" size. Bag size is 6 in. x 8 in, with hole size in mesh of approximatley 0.4-0.8 mm is size.
