Big Mouth Bubbler EVO 2 - Universal Lid

Woodberg · Dec 10, 2015

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.

Passedpawn got some off them, and had to modify them to work. Here is a link to his thread. Hope it helps.

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 fermenter today and the lid fit fine. With both fermenters next to each other, I can definitely see that the opening was sized differently between the two. Maybe a bad batch. I'm going to find a glass company in town to try to grind down to hopefully salvage the first fermenter.

This is what I've been doing and it doesn't work. I have to keep retaping cause they push off. Wish I read this thread before I bought them. When I call and told them the problem I was having they were well aware of it and just told me I have figure out a way to keep it down. Not very ethical selling a product that they know doesn't work correctly.
