4-Piece Fermentation Airlock Kit with #6 Drilled Stoppers, Grommets and B-Brite Cleaner
The Bubble Airlock Fermentation Kit is a complete accessory pack for homebrewing, winemaking, cider making, kombucha, sauerkraut, pickles, and other small-batch fermentation projects. This practical kit includes 4 bubble airlocks, 4 drilled #6 fermentation stoppers, 8 airlock grommets, and 35 g B-Brite cleaning powder to help prepare and protect your fermentation setup.
