I ran into this same problem tonight as i made some wine. I called my brewing partner and he brought over his glass Big Mouth Bubbler and lid. Same exact thing I have. We even ordered it on the same day. Come to find out the inner diameter of my BMB is smaller than his, so the lid fits his...
I'm exploring trying to make a clone of Hop Rising as well. Just read through this whole thread and was wondering if a solid recipe has surfaced yet.
Thanks!
