I like this process, but I'm assuming your are then serving from a keg. I like to bottle my beer but would think this would hinder natural carbonation in the bottle. I've never had too much luck with bottling from a keg. Any tips?

That's exactly what happened to mine. The first glass evo that I got had a thicker wall size. It was so wide, that the universal top wouldn't even fit into it. They send me a new EVO and it was fine. I was thinking the same thing, how can they be so far off. The outer diameter is the same...

I just want to make sure I understand your plan. I understand that you are cutting out the middle part of the original lid which I'm assuming will leave you the outer ring of the original lid with a nice clean hole in the middle. Is the plan to use the new universal lid and then screw this...

I just realized that this was for the plastic BMB's. On the Glass BMB's the original top was also screw on, but didn't have a separate ring and insert. It was all one piece. Also, in the original ones, the hole in the top was a really weird size. No stopper I have will fit it right. I...

Update on my progress. I received the replacement BMB Evo2 from Northern Brewer and the new universal lid fits fine in it. I also had them send me out 2 of the original lids. I still think the combination of the 2 lids seems like the best solution. For my original BMB Evo2, I may just...

When the new universal lid is inserted, does it go all the way in? Mine has about a 1/4" gap. I just can't push it all the way until it is flush with the top of the ferment. Is this normal? It seems like its making a good seal, even without being fully seated.

Well I ordered on of the BMB EVO 2 glass fermenters and when it arrived, I couldn't fit the new universal lid into the fermenter. The actual opening of the fermenter was too tight. I called Northern Brewer and they immediately sent me a new fermenter and universal lid. I got the replacement...

That might work. I'll probably give that a try first, since I know I can get another lid and gasket. I would just have to orient the lid to the fermenter since both would be more oval shaped. Definitely can't hurt to try. I agree with a previous post that its a great idea with, so far, poor...

That's really interesting. I wonder if they got a bad batch of fermenters. They told me to keep the original one, but its kind of useless without the top. I'm thinking about finding someone who could grind the glass down to get the top to fit. Not sure if that's even feasible.

I just ordered a glass EVO 2 with the new universal lid. The lid would not fit into the fermenter top. When I measured the fermenter opening, it was slightly oval shaped instead of round. Northern Brewer is sending me out a new fermenter. Hopefully, the top fill fit this one. Have you had...

Has anyone used the new universal lid for the glass Big Mouth Bubbler EVO 2 fermenter? I've seen a lot of posts about the old lids have leaking issues, but haven't seen anyone review the new lids. Just want an honest opinion from someone besides the company selling the product.
