2 gallon batches

[Weezy]

I saw those 2 gallon fermenters from Demon Brew months ago. Wrote to them to get size and never heard from them so I stayed w/my 2 gallon paint buckets from HD.

Yeah, its odd they call it 2 gal. Its 3 gal but *intended* for 2 gal batches.

Do you have a gasket for the lid, or does it seal well enough without?

It doesn't need to seal. You're just trying to keep bacteria and wild yeast from floating in. Keep in mind purely open fermentation is done all the time by pros and some homebrewers. The krausen protects the beer for the most part.

Well from what I have experienced from demon brew has been good. They made a mistake with my first order and they made it right gave me a bubbler upgrade. They have a number on there website that's how I contacted them I prefer that over email but that's just me

Sorry I never followed up. No gasket. They seal just fine.

I had one of these brew demon conical fermenters. I used it 3 times, and the plastic around the spigot cracked. Its very thin. Had to drive to 2 LHBS to find a better bottle to replace it, as I had already started racking. I was a little frustrated and took it out on the weak little fermenter, otherwise I'd have pictures to share.
