Fermenter Thread

[arsenewenger]

On my fermenter where the tap goes the thread seems to be bot doing up as tighly as it once did and I fear that one day i will lose the lot when trying to open the tap.
Has anyone modified there fermenter by fitting a new type of tap to it or even a bung and cutting another hole in the side and then fitting a different type of tap to it. the rest of the fermenter is fine and it would seem a shame to get rid of it for this reason, or am i just being tight


Thanks

or get one of the taps with a pushdown level. thats way there's no turning of the tap persay. however it does mean that it you accidently knock the tap down it pisses out.

plumbers tape is a good suggestion.

Another +1 for using plumber's tape.
