1. Will this work on a 20 liter plastic drum?
Answer: The size of the plastic bucket is not important, what is important is drilling the hole in the bucket. If using a grommet, drill a 3/8'' hole. If using a #6 bung, drill a 1''-1.28'' hole.
2. How do I keep the stopper from slipping out of the jug/carboy?
A: Yes: The stopper will slip out when pressure builds up in the glass bottle and there is water in the mouth of the bottle. Wipe off any water from the mouth of the carafe before use.
Essential for home brewing
For those of you who are not familiar with airlocks, this is a device you need to brew beer, wine, mead, etc. You simply fill the bottle with 1/2 or 1/3 of a cup of water. You simply fill it with 1/2 or 1/3 water, close the lid, and insert it into the fermentation vessel. The airlock allows the gases from fermentation to escape while insulating it from air and impurities.

2 Pcs Airlocks for Fermenting,Bubble Fermentation Airlock for Brewing Wine Beer Sauerkraut Making Sauerkraut Kimchi (2pcs Airlock+2pcs Stoppers+4pcs Grommets)You never know how many things you will have fermenting at one time. So, having this set of airlocks are a great way to be prepared for whatever comes along.This year, I used these in my fermenting bucket where I made a batch of quince wine. And, I also did a batch of crabapple cider. I used these on both of those batches. I did not have any issues with them despite having some very vigorous fermenting action. I used vodka as the liquid and that seemed to keep the fruit flies away too.When I finished the cider, I rinsed out the airlock and it came out nice and clean. Before I use it again, I will probably soak it in some Oxy powder solution to make sure there are no remnants of anything. A few minutes in a fragrance free Oxy powder solution will loosen even the most stubborn stuff.
