Demijohn for Wine in Plastic Basket 20 L, Sourcing 644020

Rigid 20-liter demijohn for wine by Sourcing, supplied mounted in a protective plastic basket. Designed for fermentation, storage and transport of wine and other beverages, the container combines a large-capacity glass vessel with an integrated plastic housing to simplify handling and reduce risk of breakage. The demijohn's neck allows attachment of an airlock or stopper, and the plastic basket includes a molded handle for carrying and a reinforced base for stable placement during processing and storage.

Advantages

The Sourcing 20 L demijohn in a plastic basket provides a balance of glass chemical inertness with the practical protection of a molded plastic carrier. Its large volume reduces the need for frequent transfers during fermentation and maturation, while the basket protects the glass from impacts and facilitates safe handling. The design supports clear visual inspection of liquid level and clarity through the glass body, and the integrated handle makes lifting and moving filled containers more manageable.

How to use

Before first use, clean and sanitize the demijohn and plastic basket according to common winemaking sanitation procedures. Place the glass vessel securely in the plastic basket on a flat, stable surface. Transfer musts or liquids slowly to avoid splashing; use a funnel if needed. Fit an appropriate stopper and airlock for fermentation or a sealed cap for storage and transport. Monitor fermentation and liquid level through the transparent glass body and avoid sudden temperature shocks to prevent breakage.

Usage recommendations

Handle the filled demijohn by the plastic basket handle and always support the base when lifting. Store upright on a level surface away from direct heat sources and freezing temperatures. For cleaning, use non-abrasive brushes and approved sanitizers for glass; remove the glass from the basket if deeper cleaning is required. Avoid strong impacts and sudden temperature changes to extend service life.
