Screw cap for 6.5 gallon carboy?
|
|
Does anyone know where I can get a screw cap for a 6.5 gallon carboy? After searching the web for awhile I found this: http://www.stompthemgrapes.com/Buckets_and_Carboys-Screw_Cap_for_6_5_Gallon_Carboy.html
Apparently they no longer carry this item, but this was the only reference I have found for it. Surely there has to be more out there?
I want to use this cap and then install a hose barb in it to hook up a blow off tube.

fwiw, 1" ID vinyl tubing fits tight inside the carboy neck, you don't need any kind of restrictive cap, and you end up with something with a very low probability of clogging...
Cheers! |

I love my caps. I can put a 1/2 gallon or starsan into my carboys, cap and shake it to sanitize and just leave it there until I need to use it. Seals great and I don't have to deal with annoying stoppers. I got mine from home brew mart in San Diego about 5 years ago. They don't list it on their website any more but you might want to shoot them an email to check.

Again fwiw, Universal Carboy Bungs work great and won't accidentally drop inside the carboy.
You can get them solid or drilled. I use the drilled version for fermentation locks, but if I want to "seal and swish" some Star San around inside, or store a carboy between use, I trap a sandwich bag in the neck with the drilled bung. Works just fine...
Cheers! |

None of the carboys I have seen have threads on them.

The 6 1/2 carboys do have threads.
I have one cap, but two carboys. I figured that if the OP finds a source, I'd buy another cap. Otherwise, the other suggestions work.

I sent an email to Stomp Them Grapes asking for a source. I'll update the thread with my findings.

The only screw on cap I have for my acid carboy came with the carboy in 1966, the year that my carboy was made.
