my buckets around the spitgot's are leaking, i took them apart to clean, and not i cannot get a good seal where it wont leak, does anyone have any ideas as too how to stop the leaks?
even when i tighten the SH$T out of it... it still leaks, and as i plan to use it as a primary... i really dont want zero leaks.... cause a drip over 4-5 weeks is a lot of yummy beer wasted. i no longer buy them with spitgots.... but today i want too brew two batches and to accomplish that i will need to use my buckets with spitgots
I've noticed they leak if over tightened as well. If the gasket squeezes out from under the base,it'll leak. I have to tighten the Italian spigot just right to get it sealed. So not loose,but not to tight either.
just returned from lowes... they had nothing that would work. so then i got to thinking about shower/plumbing silicone caulk... i know i wont be able to take it apart to clean... but if i caulk it up good, wont everything be sealed? thus not needing to really be taken apart to be cleaned? the only thing that would come into contact would be where the beer goes out, and i can clean that and run santatizer through that.... just an idea.... what do ya all think?
