I just got my first infection after three years of brewing.
The culprit was the rubber gasket in the lid of the fermenting bucket.
I have super sanitized everything and have thrown away the rubber gasket and have no intention of buying a new one.
The question is except to form an air tight seal why should I need a rubber gasket in a lid with a 1" hole in it?
The other fermenting bucket I have has no such rubber seal and works very well.
Another reason to use the ferment in a bag method.
Cheers
