Stuck for an airlock?
So, I threw my mead on and was stuck for an airlock. Couldn’t find a bung anywhere. Wilko.com was closed and me the missus and the little monster were due out for dinner with the outlaws…
Quick Google showed this method and it seems to work really well…

Positive pressure inside the balloon and a couple of tiny pinprick holes means instant airlock. Brilliant. I think I’ll be using this method with my DJs from now on. So bloody simple…
Simple, cheap and effective. Love this sort of idea and its probably better than a normal airlock, no chance of it drying out or liquid getting sucked back into DJ
Agree, cant believe its that simple and physics says it works. If it fills will crud, just turn it inside out, wash it, spray with starsan and slap it back on… or replace it with another balloon you’ve pricked 2 holes in lol
