Safety Cork for 1G or 5L Demijohn

Product description

The safety cork has a one-way valve to protect finished wine from spoilage when stored in 1gall. or 5 litre containers.

A demijohn is a large glass container often used for fermenting and storing liquids such as wine, cider, or beer. It typically comes with a rubber or silicone bung that fits tightly into the mouth of the demijohn to prevent the contents from leaking or being exposed to air.

A Demijohn safety cork is a bung / plastic stopper designed to release pressure in a container to prevent explosions or other dangerous situations. 

Safety corks are often used in the wine, champagne, and beer industries, where the carbon dioxide produced during fermentation can cause the bottle to become pressurized.

There are several types of safety stoppers, including those with a plastic or metal valve that will release pressure when it reaches a certain level or those with a weak point in the cork itself that will break under pressure. This demijohn safety corks is designed to be reusable, while others are intended for one-time use only.

Overall, the use of a container bung can help ensure that the contents of a bottle remain safe and free from the risk of explosion or other hazards

 Here are some tips for choosing and using a safety dung for home brewing:

By following these suggestions, you can help ensure that your homebrewed beer or wine is safe to drink and free from any harmful contaminants.

Hold the container securely when handling a demijohn with a bung in place and avoid dropping or bumping it. Rough handling could cause the cork to dislodge or break, potentially resulting in spillage or injury. It is also a good idea to store the demijohn in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to help preserve the quality of the contents and reduce the risk of breakage or other damage.
