Better Bottle DryTrap air locks are precision check valves that have many advantages compared to liquid-filled air locks. A polished ceramic ball rests in a tapered seat to create a one-way seal. Fermentation gases can escape easily by pushing the ball up, but air is blocked from flowing in the reverse direction. DryTraps are made of an incredibly tough, proprietary type of PET that can withstand continuous service at 212° F, is easy to clean, and does not stain or transfer flavors.

Great for long fermenting! Review by Steven (Posted on 1/23/13): Product Rating:

I have several of these and they have saved me some disappointment. I've made some strong stouts and wines that I leave in the secondary for many months, up to 12 at times. I can use one of these airlocks and walk away from it and if I forget to check it for a couple months I have no worries about the water running out of the airlock so oxygen gets into the bottle (which I've had happen with standard airlocks)

They are a pain to clean if you forget to use a 3/8ID blowoff tube so never make that mistake (I did twice with back to back brews in different bottles and never will again)

While the lock itself is a little on the costly side the ability to forget about them or go on a trip for my photography work and not have to worry if the product is still good if I've been gone for 1-2 months.
BB Pricey, but good Review by Devlan (Posted on 3/5/13): Product Rating:

They tout this as a great airlock, and it is. It's easy to install (once you by the carboy adapter) and it works a treat. As with all Better Bottle kit, the price is high. The great part is that it won't suck airlock sanitizer or water into your brew. It's also harder to judge the rate of CO2 discharge since it doesn't GLOOP! like liquid based ones. The easy solution is to attach a bit of hose leading to a glass: instant flow rate meter!
