Long term aging

After a month, when the dissolved CO2 has been released, i replace the S lock stoppers with these and let them sit for a year or two or three as needed._x000D_less Oxygen damage this way.

Snug fit

Good for long term aging of wine. Also good for cleaning. Fill up the carboy with PBS , rock and swish it around, roll it, rotate upside down while holding the stopper in place, and those tiny specs of dried krausen and trub will come off.

Good for carboys

They are the right size for glass carboys, and I use them for aging my beers. No risk of Oxygen getting in, and no air lock liquid to evaporate.

valuable for aging wine

This is what I use when I seal a carboy for 2-3 years. I don't want any Oxygen getting in, and it sits in the neck snugly.

For long term aging

I age some of my beers for up to a year so I use stoppers to plug up the carboy. I think they let in less air than air locks. Press them in and forget about them till you are ready.

Prefer these over the universal

Prefer this stopper style over the universal as it is much more sounds and robust with the use of an airlock. Over time, the quality of these will outlaast those that are of the univesal type and seem to hold a better seal overall from carboy to carboy. Can't go wrong with these.

Very little cost, very many uses.

Great item to have in your inventory of beer supplies. What I like to use mine for is when you are transporting your carboy to your dark area for it to ferment or if are doing something like changing from a three piece airlock to a blow-off. Definitely handy to have.

Perfect FIt

These solid rubber stoppers fit well into any spots-flexible! They also clean up well unlike some other stoppers I have used that are hard to clean and sanitize.

I have 4

These stoppers are perfect for plugging a carboy, for long term aging of beer. They are better than air locks because there is less risk of Oxygen leakage._x000D_

Good for money, sizing is an issue

I ordered a #10 solid stopper so I can use my carboy to filtered water from the store to the brewery. #10 was the size recommended by Midwest for use in new Better Bottles. My bottle has been used once, and I wish I had ordered a #10.5. The stopper is a very soft rubber that compresses easily. A 10.5 would make for a snugger fit. I'm afraid to push my #10 hard enough to get a snug fit. It look like it just might pop all the way into the bottle, or at least enough to never come out. All in all, not exactly pleased, but I got what I ordered. I guess it's my fault I ordered the wrong size. I will address the issue with Customer Service and I am confident they will do something awesome. They always do.
