The lid is form Goodwill. The clasp, chain, hooks and gasket material are from Lowes. The rest is just some time.

I just stick an orange carboy cap over the neck of mine & call it done! Nice work though!
My fermentation is done in a chest freezer so the racking cane works just fine for me but you could do that easy enough. Lowes sells stick on gasket material that works perfect. I havent used it yet but it will be for 10-12 gallon batches.
Nasties fall down and in not up n over the edge. Does a fermentation benefit from the back pressure? I think not.
What is the lid?
Nice job OP.
Not sure why people post negative crap about someone showing off an idea that has merit. Why do you care if it seems like a lot of work? Nobody is requiring anyone else to do it for themselves. I posted something a while back about a simple project that I did and got negative remarks as well.
+1 on sealed fermenters with pressure ferments!
Sketerbuck, correct me if I'm wrong. It looks like a glass casserole dish lid.
The whole project took me a couple hours in the garage. I just don't like the idea of cleaning thru that small opening and I want the to be able to get hop socks in and out. I also like to see the fermentation. When I see active fermentation on my lagers I bring the temperature down. BTW I'm not offended the it might seem like a lot of work but it wasn't. My favorite part of this hobby is that I get to hang out in my garage an tinker with this type of stuff.
