Water shutter for wine, kvass or brew

Water shutter, for wine, kvass, or mash.



When preparing refreshing or alcoholic drinks, carbon dioxide is released.
And somehow it needs to be controlled so that as little air as possible gets into the inside.
Someone puts on a rubber glove on the bottle, during fermentation and the release of carbon dioxide, it rises.
And after the completion of the fermentation process, it slowly drops.

Someone just slowly bleeds gas through the lid.

But in my opinion a simple water shutter that does not need daily supervision.
And I made it out of the plain rubbish available in every apartment.

And so here is what we need:
An ordinary plastic bottle (in my case it is one and a half liters).
A bigger bottle with a wide lid, I have a six liter bottle.
A piece of PVC pipe, about 15 centimeters.
Plumbing.



Look for a PVC pipe with an outer diameter of 22 mm.
It fits perfectly with the inner diameter of the neck of a small bottle.



Somehow the cut off neck was lying around me.
And around it in a circle with a marker I marked a future hole on a large lid.







With a clerical knife, cut a hole in the lid.





Then cut 15-20 cm from the neck of the bottle.



Pull the trim onto the large lid with the hole.





We make a hole in the cap of a small bottle, no matter what diameter.
On the inside, through the sanitary napkin we twist the lid.









Now insert the PVC tube into the neck of the bottle until it hits the bottom cover.





We unscrew the cap, and disassemble the design.
On the neck of the bottle cutter we wrap a little plumbing sealant.

Put silicone on tow, and tightly assemble everything back.







Now it remains only to pick up the cap.
He should fit on the tube quite freely, I don’t know why I have a cap, but it fits perfectly.





We wind a water lock on a bottle with a mash, we throw a cap and fill the funnel with half water.
Gas will raise the cap, and go down and the water will not allow air to get inside.

By the way, such a shutter can also be attached to large caps from three and ten liter bottles.

Yes, I just wanted to share. Why then this site is needed?

We're not looking for easy ways...

I did so, put a hot glue on the hose inlet and everything is fine.
Why such structural difficulties ???? To exit the tank. accumulated gas, make a hole in the cap equal to the outer diameter of the hose, insert the hose, seal the gap between the hose and the cap with silicone sealant or plasticine, and lower the other end of the hose into a container of water, for example, in a liter jar filled with water, put the jar on the floor and no air from the outside will enter the tank with the future drink, and the accumulated gases will be removed without problems from the tank !!!!!
even cheaper, because the accessories for this shutter are more expensive
I remember from childhood, a large glass bottle, below the neckline on a rope there is a checkmark with water, a cambric in between. Aerobatics - climb a thinner and longer cambric into the existing one without taking it out of the water!
A bottle may fall - this is bad, but the advantage of this method is its simplicity and the ability to monitor the rate of gas evolution.
By the way, the author, and not just if you really want a water shutter, just drills a hole in the cork, put a hose in there, glue it with "hot glue", and lower its end into a "one and a half" with water?
And I also heard about cheap gloves ...)))) .. For a penny you can take a whole pack ....)))
But this is good for small containers ... For barrels, the glove is not camillefo))))

One season glove
Why? I never heard of rubber decaying in a year.
He made wine in forty-liter plastic barrels with a narrowed throat and a screw cap. I didn’t bother ... I didn’t load it completely - 30 liters each, so that there was where to inflate the gases .... I set it, twisted it "not for the whole damn thing." If the barrel is on the trail. the day was pouted - weakened a little, so that the slonson began to hiss ... And forgot until spring)))). Polyethylene - not glass, will not tear ...
Anyway, young wine is not tasty ... Next. in spring I took it off, poured it into glass bottles and left it for another year ... There I took it off a stone and bottled it ...
I never made water castles ... Wine (for good) has been preparing for years ... I do not want to constantly check ..

By the way, I didn’t throw away the cake immediately, but poured sugar syrup (250 g sugar per liter of water) and left it for a year, then removed from the sediment and defended ... Such a funky bag comes out !!! Very strong and very tasty ... Not wine, of course, but as a "port" - very much !!!

Stopped wandering, then
the product is ready. And nothing will dry there.

And how to understand this?
The Americans spent millions of bucks on the development of a pen, writing in zero gravity, and ours just write in pencil. But the main thing here is that a person has a head that will suddenly work out something better than a glove.
He put on the glove and forgot it, but it’s somehow hemorrhagic! Watch out for water, God forbid it will go bad or dry out!

A glove for one season, and use it for years.
It has the right to exist, although the glove with a puncture copes no worse, does not require maintenance and serves as an indicator. But the glove is more expensive than this product.
