I love using Better Bottles (light, no breakage risk) but just got a digital Johnson temp controller with the stainless thermowell. It comes with a normal rubber bung for a carboy. OK, so I used a normal carboy with the first brew with it - did a great job regulating the temperature in my fridge. Fermentation was right on.
Now, I'd like to use the Better Bottle. So, what I did was take a #10 rubber stopper and drill a second hole (3/8 inch) in it for the thermowell. It is working OK, but I would love to be able to use the Better Bottle cap and dry tap or something that fits better than the #10 bung. The rubber bung is still a little slippery in the top of the BB and I worry about it popping out or pushing it too far in.
Any ideas? Anyone else run into this?
Thanks.
