Abstract The onset of the confinement transition in the early universe is studied within the Friedmann model. Exploiting a bag model equation of state for the deconfined matter, which is generalized to include also metastable states, the possibility of a mini‐inflationary epoch is demonstrated. A criterion of metastability is derived to estimate parameters of this mini‐inflation.
