Thats the one that comes with them but according to Bobby's videos the orange ones work too.

I personally like the gaskets, because for me they create a much tight fit. The CL are harder to squeeze together.

I have brewed with mine twice but don't have any finished beer through them yet. Off flavors from the stock gasket was the concern. Do you notice any?

I didn't notice any off flavors. I use the silicone gaskets. I have some of the orange o rings too but haven't seen the need to switch. Like I said I like the tight fit, of the gaskets!

my black gaskets smell an awful lot like rubber. Do you think yours are silicon?

When I ordered the silicone replacement gaskets directly from ProFlow they came in a separate bag and were black. They looked similar to the stock gasket, until you looked at them side by side. It was clear they were not made from the same material.

Ah, we are not comparing apples to apples since I bought my CL's at BargainFittngs and they came with the stock rubber gaskets. I wasn't aware ProFlow sold the silicon gaskets. That's a good find!

The first batch of CL's that i got were rubber and I replaced those. The second was silicone.

I know the last CL's I got were silicone.

Did anyone make a batch with the rubber ones? Did you notice any off flavors if so?

I brewed a batch with the rubber gaskets on Saturday and I haven't noticed any rubbery smell or taste as of yet. Wort samples are fine - it's a pale ale.

I know someone boiled the rubber ones in water and noticed a flavor and aroma from them. I didn't take that chance and just went right to the silicone. I haven't noticed anything yet, i made an IPA.

well my first batch brewed on Sunday January 29th used the black rubber ones that came from Proflow.. I have since ordered up from www.oringsandmore.com #210 red silicone orings. it was less than $6 including shipping for a 25 pack.

on thurs I'll be taking a gravity reading and again on sunday if they are the same I'll keg my beer.

I hope to have no off flavors in my very first beer.

Yeah I saw that same thing, AFTER I ran a couple of batches through them. Good thing worrying is against the rules.

I have some new ones on the way. If I notice any off flavors in these batches, I guess I'll have to try to sell them to Silver Moon. ****, they don't care.
