Sterilock

Has anyone used these ? http://www.sterilock.co.uk/
I just ordered 3. I read a review on the techniques in home winemaking.com.

I did a search on here but nothing came up.

looks interesting. I don't see why it is any better than a silicone vented bung, unless you want the odor removal, or CO2 indicator.

Note: You really don't need the CO2 indicator because you don't need a vented bung for primary fermentation of wine.

In any case, the All-in-one Headspace Eliminator is better because you can use it when there is headspace. With the sterilock, you probably need to eliminate as much headspace as possible.

How did the Sterilock's work out? Would you recommend them?

They are ok but I understand that you can buy the same thing elsewhere. Silicone bungs are the same.

Thanks for the feedback.

Regarding silicone bungs...they allow gasses (CO2) to escape? Or your saying they are the same in a different regard?

The "vented" version will allow gasses to escape.

If you are afraid the bung will be pushed out ...
