Hi all,
I have a number of plastic Better Bottles and Big Mouth Bubblers. I would like to use these to age beers including sours and clean beers. Per the manufacturer the O2 permeability of the plastic used is negligible and should not present an oxidation risk. However I'm concerned, especially with the Bubblers, that the top seal and airlock will be a weak point. My thought was to wrap the entire thing with saran wrap, using electrical tape to affix the wrap to the airlock body. Alternately I could skip the saran wrap and just use electrical tape over the edges of the stopper. What do you all think?
Thanks!
David
