I have the 30L Speidel plastic fermentor and recently did a deep clean (my wee heavy's fermentation was a wee bit vigorous) that included soaking the lid and o-ring over night in oxy clean. Everything came out sparkling, but after I lubed the o-ring with some keg lube and put it back together, the o-ring had increased in diameter by about a quarter inch. Just enough to screw any chance of a good seal.
Bummer right? New o-ring for about $5 is not a problem, but It seems weird to me that it would deform.
Has anyone else experienced this issue on a Speidel or any other o-ring?
