I now have a number of glass carboys that lack a good enough lid seal to support an airlock. The CO2 fermentation gas simply leaks around the lid seal instead of going through the airlock.
So, I'm thinking of making my own custom gaskets to provide an adequate lid seal. I figure that the lid can be used for compressing the seal against both the lid and the glass rim of the carboy.
So far, the gasket material I've found which appears to hold the most promise is: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NAG4I3J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It claims to be "food grade." I would have to cut it rather carefully to fit the lid.
Anyone else here making their own custom gaskets? If so, what gasket material are you using?
