5 liter narrow mouth glass demijohn with protective plastic basket, 2 piece airlock, cleaning brush, lid, and both solid and drilled bungs. Ideal for making about 1 gallon of wine, cider, beer or other fermented beverages while allowing proper headspace during fermentation.
North Mountain Supply 5 liter narrow mouth glass demijohn with plastic basket is a practical small batch fermenter for homebrewers and winemakers. With a total capacity of 5 liters, or about 1.33 gallons, it is typically used to make around 1 gallon of wine, beer, cider or similar beverages while leaving the headspace needed for healthy fermentation.
This complete set includes:
5 liter clear glass demijohn
Rustic plastic basket for support and transport
2 piece airlock
Cleaning brush
Lid
Solid bung
Drilled bung
The clear glass body allows you to easily monitor fermentation activity, sediment and clarity. Its narrow mouth design works well with the included bungs and airlock, making it suitable for controlled fermentation and short to medium term storage.
The durable plastic basket helps:
Protect the glass during handling
Make transporting a full container easier
Provide additional stability during use and storage
The included drilled bung and 2 piece airlock are used during active fermentation to allow CO2 to escape while helping keep outside air and contaminants out. The solid bung and lid give you additional options for sealing the vessel when fermentation is complete or when using the demijohn for storage.
Because the total capacity is larger than the typical working volume, it is important to leave proper headspace during fermentation. A good guideline is to keep the liquid level about 2 to 3 inches below the bottom of the stopper to allow room for foam and gas release.
