Rubber bungs are used when fermenting to completely seal or create an airtight barrier between the airlock and opening of your fermenter.
Depending on your needs you have two options: Solid Rubber stoppers create a complete seal while drilled rubber stoppers have a hole drill into them which fits a standard size airlock or a small blow-off tube.
Drilled rubber stoppers come in assorted sizes and are required to create an airtight seal in most fermentation. Our food-grade drilled stoppers are made of solid rubber with a pre-drilled hole in the center. This hole is sized to fit all standard-sized airlocks and this blow-off tube. The rubber bung is tapered for a better seal and holds the airlock securely in place. The curved lip also stops the bung from accidentally sliding into your fermenter. These stoppers have many uses in fermentation which include beer brewing, cider, and winemaking, just to name a few.
Drilled rubber stoppers fit into a variety of different brewing vessels, and each stopper measurement is specified in the product pictures.
Plug the stopper into the mouth of your carboy or fermenter and then insert the airlock. This will create an airtight seal that prevents oxygen contact during fermentation. The airlock will then let co2 escape while preventing oxygen from going back into your brewing vessel.
The drilled rubber stopper is one of the most basic tools for homebrewers of all experience levels to have on hand. The rubber stoper fits into your fermentation vessels to create an airtight seal for your fermentations and homebrews.
Stoppers come in various sizes and are sized by number but what do these numbers mean? To determine the correct stopper size, measure the diameter of the mouth of your carboy or fermenter, and compare it to the rubber stopper size chart below. This chart will help you quickly determine which stopper you need by most popular brewing equipment and provides a diameter for each stopper style in inches.
The drilled hole for the rubber stoppers is sized to fit all standard-sized airlocks, so you can use your preferred style, whether it’s a 3-Piece airlock or S-Style, for all your home fermentations.
