I have a couple of 25 litre glass demijohns that I intend to age some rum and whisky in. The depth should make it easy to occasionally drop an airline into it for acceleration of the process.

The local HBS where I bought them from only has rubber bungs. I assume that rubber falls into the same category as plastics?

Anyone know where I can get silicone or cork bungs of approx 40 mm diameter.

Alternatively can I custom make a silicone one using silicone from a caulking gun?

Why don't ya spin up something out of wood. Or cork!!!! :handgestures-thumbupleft:

:text-+1: If you've got any oak staves around, they would be perfect :handgestures-thumbupleft:

i use a champagne cork. some of them fit perfectly, some need some sanding down, some are upsidedown

Did you ask the guy at the HBS.
Mines all sizes of cork bungs but not on display

pricey though

Just my first hit from a google search, I knew they were available, I have purchased a few from my local HBS.

or though the ones I bought for my demi-johns were only $6 (which I thought was steep at the time).
