Thanks Yapn, I'm going to give the clingwrap a go. Cheers.

Thanks for your wisdom Feldon, I have actually tried using clingwrap before, but wanted to persist with the lid and airlock. I will step out of my comfort zone and try the clingwrap for a time, will be much easier than trying to unscrew that lid... Cheers.

Ssorry I meant to sa Thanks Philrob

Hi all, I have 2 Morgan's 30 ltr fermenters. I have had trouble since they were new getting them to seal, to make the airlock bubble. So for the last 2 years I have been tightening the crap out of them to the point I struggle to undo them when time for kegging. Have I been overnighting them...

This is absolutely a possibility... Although I have a routine, as in line the tallies up and start left to right etc. But yes I'll find out this Friday...

Thanks Drubbing, good to know. We're S/E qld so this time of year it's definitely not too cool in his downstairs laundry/storage area. I intend to visit his place next week and test one for myself to see if it was just a one bottle issue... Thanks for your reply.

Thanks Philrob, I appreciate your thoughts. Cheers.

Hi all in the home brew world. I have only started home brewing beer since December 2021. I would consider my self a moderate consumer of beer... I record quantities, alcohol readings and qualities of each brew, so I know I am about to keg my 12th brew. And I gotto say... why the Hell have I...
