I Have a 6.5 gallon true brew fermenting bucket and the airlock does not go in tight at all. You can push it down with one finger. Is this normal for a lid on this kind of bucket?

Sometimes that happens depending on the grommet, no biggie.

It sucks having one thats too tight, like my current bucket lid grommets, I about rip the grommets out trying to remove the airlock...

all good grommets come in 2 sizes one for s type one for 3piece. I get mine here just makes for snugger fit nothing happens with looser fit (although I prefer as snug as possible for long ferm)
