coopers snap lock tap

[baz1525229856]

And while im on I just wanted to thank the guys at coopers! I had the seal blow out on my tap after 4/5 brews,wasnt aware you have to lubricate the seal with olive oil but got in touch with coopers to get a new tap and posted the replacement out that day and 2 days later im back! What a bunch of champions! Good beer good blokes

thanks for that tip,how often does the tap seal need oiling, when its noted to be dry or each brew do you think?

G'day Robbie,

 

For me those 2 scenarios occur at the same time. So every time you put the fermenter back together after cleaning / drying, pop a bit of olive oil onto the tap seal before popping it back into the fermenter.

 

Cheers,

+ 1 for that, I smear a tiny bit of olive oil that I have handy in a glass jar, every time I use these fermenting vessels. So that's either for fermenting or as a bottling vessel. Stops leaks, and makes assembly and disassembly easy, plus the small amount of olive oil is very good for yeast health and during the cell propagation stage.
