Airlock
notes: label: Description
content: Interchangeably called a bubbler, or airlock, this device was used by Francesco Lee during the wine fermentation process. Fitted to the mouth of a glass carboy or the bung hole of a barrel, the bubbler allowed carbon dioxide gas that builds during fermentation to escape, while prohibiting airborne yeast and other particles from contaminating the wine.
