Title: The importance of using vasoline.....
Post by: Taxi_Driver on 03 February 2013, 20:04:19
On the screw threads of lids on fermenting vessels......otherwise you dont get an airtight seal and force the CO2 to go through the airlock...... :y

Bet STMO gets excited reading the title.....then very disappointed after he opens it  ;D ;D

What's brewing, TD?

Got a Sarah Hughes dark ruby mild and a Rauchbier conditioning at the moment. Currently drinking a Timothy Taylor landlord clone. Down to the last 5 pints in the keg and suddenly it's gone from tasting great to fantastic. Always the way!

Oh, I don't bother with air locks. Top of my bucket wouldn't seal with a whole tub of vaseline. Are we taking wine, though?

Pickling eggs doesnt produce co2, well not in the production stage......it may at the consumption stage  ;D ;D :D

Traces of CO2 amongst a lot more Hydrogen Sulphide and Methyl Mercaptan judging by some of the Aromas at Newent the year before last. ::)
