Oh yeah.... don't forget to leave some headspace in your bottles. If you're using soda or beer bottles (and you should be) then fill them to the same level as the soda/beer was when they were originally.
Ive been experimenting for awhile and just acquired a bung bucket,however the gasket on the bung is kinda slowly leaking (i tested it w/water first so ive lost nothing in terms of resources).Im wondering if greasing the threads with crisco would stop the leak? I got these myself and bored them so the hole has small irregularities. Is this fixable?
