About this item
- AUTOMATIC TRANSPARENT AIRLOCK: FastRack airlocks are stronger, more transparent, and made of food-grade materials. You will easily see the entire fermentation process! Due to the airtight design of our fermentation airlock we isolate the air and prevent oxidation. Fastrack brewing airlock exhausts automatically at room temperature without manual intervention.
- EASY & SIMPLE TO USE: Insert the assembled airlock into the hole of the rubber stopper that fits your current jug or carboy. Fill the Bubbler Airlock with water and insert the drilled stopper or bung to vent gasses during fermentation. The airlock cap should always stay on top when in use to allow gas to escape and prevent the water inside from quickly spilling out if tipped over.
- HOW IT WORKS: Airlocks enable CO2 to be released during fermentation and trap oxygen from entering the fermenter. The bubbler style airlock is the preferred airlock for secondary fermentation, as it is possible to monitor the pressure inside the fermenter, and is the go to winemaking airlock.
- WIDELY USED: The fermentation airlock can be used in various fermentation projects to preserve food as well! The brewing airlock can be used to brew craft beer or wine, but also used for sauerkraut, kimchi, etc.
- SATISFACTION GUARANTEE: At FastRack we pride ourselves on creating products that can be trusted by our customers. Buyer satisfaction is our top priority, maybe, sometimes accidents happen during shipping. If anything is cracked or broken, please let us know and we’ll do our best to make sure you are 100% satisfied with our product and service.

Some measurements as I thought it may help others:
Outside Diameter of the air lock stem is 7/16" (0.43" as measured by my caliper)
I purchased a 3/8" nominal rubber grommet (0.375" inside diameter) for a nominal hole side of 1/2".
I used a step drill to make a hole just slightly larger than 1/2". It may have been closer to 9/16ths. Step dril works great for this as you can size it up slowly to test your fit, and the step shoulders de-burr the hole.
Installed the grommet, and pressed in the air lock. It is a tight fit and the rubber grommet is firmly, but not over-compressed. It has formed a tight air seal and the fermenter is bubbling as a I type.
Air lock is a simple device that works great.

wine never gets in the airlocks, so the only thing you have to clean is the water you put in the airlock itself. Not sure how any part of it would even get dirty to need cleaning, the rubber stopper part is the only part that can come in contact with the wine, so you just pop out the airlock, rinse out the bottom, and sterilize the stopper normally.
For the pop up problem, here's my solution. This works! I tied a ziplock tie around the neck, just under the protruding glass ring at the top of the bottle. Just tight enough to not slide back over the top, but with a small gap where the ziplock closed. Then used a long bread tie, folded in half, and pushed both halves into the small opening in the zip tie. Holding one end of the bread tie, I slid the other end of the bread tie around to the opposite side of the rubber stopper. Pushed the rubber stopper down tight where I wanted it to go, and pulled the bread tie tight on both ends. Then bent both sides of the bread tie up, around the zip tie, on either side of the bottle. I didn't need to twist the breadties, just bending the bread tie ends up was enough to hold the rubber stopper from popping back out, you're only stopping bubbles after all, so it was a very small amount of continuous pressure forcing the rubber stopper back out.
Hope this helps!
I need a slightly larger stopper, but this was easy enough to fabricate and use the airlock
However, since these bungs did not fit my jars, I ordered a different size (with success!) and also different 3-piece airlocks. The other airlocks were much more durable feeling and the bungs fit my jars perfectly. I did use one single 2-piece airlock with the newer bungs (interchangeable) just to thoroughly test it. I still didn't like the 2-piece airlocks.
I would personally recommend getting either a more durable 2-piece airlock, or simply a 3 piece airlock. I would choose a 3-piece airlock any day over a 2 piece airlock.
Overall, pretty decent for the price. I wouldn't recommend to others, but that's personal preference - not because it's a bad product. I know many people have an easy time with 2-piece airlocks. I just happen to find 3-piece airlocks far easier to deal with.

I was looking at caps and was astounded at their price in Australia. This fella will surely provide a better seal, though. And the hollow design means that it should fit a slight range of diameters with its ability to flex. Simple is best!
