ALL IT TAKES IS A SIMPLE AIRLOCK!

In the business of fermentation, simple solutions are often the answers to some of the major fermentation problems. The answers do not lie in complicated apparatus or academic research papers in eminent journals. A good example is the use of air locks!

The success or failures of many fermentation processes depends often on:
1 Releasing the pressure of fermentation gases to prevent excessive in built pressure
2 The maintenance of anaerobic conditions or excessive exposure to oxygen.

But in most cases these factors are often over looked!

A good example of the airlock is found in the design of toilet bowl. The water seal is sort of airlock but more towards the prevention of odours and the crawlies from crawling up as you are doing your job.

The use of airlocks is only practicable for mixed culture fermentations such as those in food fermentations, wine fermentation
