Drilled Stoppers

The Grape and Granary sells a wide selection of drilled and solid stoppers. We should have the correct size for any vessel you may be using. All of our drilled stoppers will work with the airlocks that we sell (cylinder or twin bubble). Airlocks are almost always used on a primary or secondary fermentation vessel until the wine or beer is bottled. This allows the wine or beer in the vessel to expand and contract. It also allows any gas to escape instead of carbonating your product or even blowing up your fermenting vessel. 

Be sure to take a careful measurement of the opening in your carboy or fermenting vessel and then choose a stopper that has a smaller bottom measurement than the opening of the vessel. Finally, make sure the larger dimension of the stopper is greater than the opening size.

Most glass carboys will take a #6.5 or #7 stopper. Most plastic carboys take a #10 stopper and most one gallon or 1/2 gallon jug take a #6 stopper.
