#7-8 FOAM STOPPER Description

Versatile stopper that fits our Y70 Yeast Starter Bottle and anything else that uses a #7 stopper. Use as an airlock for yeast culturing, and even more useful as a sterile shield when preparing media. The proprietary foam is heat-resistant, and will withstand autoclaving or pressure cooking, making it an ideal flask plug when preparing sterile wort and agar. The honeycomb structure of the foam lets the plugged flask breathe, yet bacteria and wild yeast are filtered out and cannot reach the media. This means you can put your media in an Erlenmeyer flask, plug with a Foam Stopper, and pressure cook to sterilize, fully confident that bacteria and wild yeast will not enter the flask, even during the cooling and later storage period outside the pressure cooker.

Also great as a simple airlock for our Siphonless Fermenter - just replace the 5.5 stopper and airlock with this stopper. No need to worry about water levels.

Pros:  I can see the advantages of using these stoppers while boiling culture media -- I guess. 
Cons:  Don't plan on more than one or two uses out of these. After that first use they discolor, deform, and don't clean very well. Chlorine sanitizer turns them into a putty-like goo. I'm going back to a rubber stopper and traditional air lock. I don't see sufficient advantages to make up for having to toss these after every culture.
