This mesh sleeve is custom made for the FerMonster Plastic Carboy. The plastic ring sits inside the neck of the fermenter, and the lid can be secured on top to make an airtight seal. The ring actually holds onto the neck of the FerMonster so there's no risk of the mesh sleeve falling into the carboy.
For brewers, the MonsterMesh is perfect for adding dry hops, oak chips, or fruit additions, which can easily be removed at the scheduled time.
For winemakers, in addition to adding grape skins or oak chips, the MonsterMesh is a great way to eliminate head space in the fermenter. Simply fill up the strainer with glass marbles to displace as much wine as needed to fill the volume of the carboy.
Made from food grade materials, the #50 mesh will not affect the flavor of the beer or wine, and is temperature rated to 122°F. Designed for multiple uses, the MonsterMesh can be cleaned in the dishwasher and sanitized with the sanitizer of your choice.
You can use both the MonsterMesh and MiniMesh on the FerMonster™ at the same time. The MonsterMesh is designed to grab onto the lip of the FerMonster™ and the Mini Mesh is designed to grab onto the hole of the FerMonster™ lid so that you can have two infusions starting and/or ending at different times. The lid requires the # 10 bung or our Medium Universal Stopper.
