Ace Seal provides standard and custom barrel bungs for whiskey, scotch, bourbon, beer, seltzer, cider, and wine production. Made from 100% FDA-approved silicone, these bungs allow carbon dioxide to properly release from the barrel during fermentation while preventing oxygen from getting in. Whether you’re an expert in fermenting fruit, grains, or sugar, our silicone bungs provide a more effective, longer-lasting sealing solution for your barrels compared to rubber or wood options—an advantage you can taste.

The Advantages of Silicone Barrel Bungs for the Alcohol Industry

Why plug your barrels or containers with silicone bungs as opposed to traditional rubber or wood options? Highly durable and long-lasting, silicone barrel bungs are designed to keep out harmful micro-organisms, provide proper carbon dioxide ventilation, and prevent air oxidation. They are the superior solution for alcohol fermentation and maturation purposes for a number of reasons, including:

  • Reusability: these bungs are easily cleaned, sanitized, & ready to reuse!
  • Provide a tighter, more secure fitting in the barrel
  • Unlike wood bungs, silicone does not stain, mold, or absorb odors overtime
  • Maintain their dimensional tolerance in temps ranging from -75°F to 450°F
  • Top grip lip prevents bungs from getting stuck in the barrel or falling in
  • Made from FDA-approved, food grade silicone with 4x the service life of other rubbers
  • Available in a range of styles, sizes, and custom designs

Silicone Beer Keg Bungs for Beer, Hard Cider, & Spiked Seltzer

Silicone Barrel Bungs for Whiskey, Scotch, & Bourbon

Enhance the flavor profile of your spirits with whiskey, scotch, and bourbon silicone barrel bungs. As a non-reactive material, silicone can withstand the high levels of ABV these types of alcohols typically reach during maturation.
