- A great addition to your FerMonsters™ are our FerMonster™ Strainers, MonsterMesh and MiniMesh. They will allow you to reduce the head space if required filling it up with glass marbles or any food grade element that you consider appropriate. They will help you infuse your wine/beer and handle all infusions. They fit all of our FerMonsters™.
-
Fermonsters are great to age/store your wine, just make sure your seal is working and good. (probably better use a solid lid instead of one with hole and a bung).
If you want to reduce headspace, you can get a Monster Mesh and fill it with Glass Marbles.
NOTE:We do not recommend that you drill a hole on the PET Carboys or FerMonsters™, as this must be done with the right equipment and right expertise. Doing this may crack your carboy and become unusable.
NOTE: The FerMonster™ PET Fermenter is hard to carry, we strongly suggest that you purchase our carboy carrier (make sure it fits your specific size of carboy).
