Vaseline!

It has various uses in the brewery as well as in the bedroom.

Best to pick up some proper keg lube from your local shop or the site sponsors. It looks more expensive than it is, one tube / jar / whatever will last for years. Guaranteed not to feck with your rubber bits.

IMO while vaseline is good, keg lube is better suited for the job. It has a sightly different consistency that works better for keeping those keg posts lubed up.

That is the worse thing I have read on this forum.

I suppose you could use the keg lube in the bedroom too.
It is food grade after all

Thanks for the advise. I think I will relocate my large tub of tiger balm from the bedside draw too.

Getting back to the question...I have used petroleum jelly on the lid seal of my fermenter for many months now, and have seen no signs of rubber deterioration.

I remove the seal and totally cover it with a thin film of the stuff. This was the only way I could get a proper sealing.

I like to be able to gauge how quick fermentation starts by monitoring a properly working airlock.

I have bought a tube of keg lube a couple of years back and have used zip of it. I doubt if you would every use a tube full in a life time.
Otherwise KY jelly works, just don't tell the check-out chick you want to rub it on your 'O' ring :lol:
