Screw Cap Gel

[Smallbrook Cider]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help, the large screw cap on my fermentation barrel needs some gel or grease to ease screwing it on and removing it, I also believe it helps to seal the cap, I did wonder if vasaline would be ok to use.

Thanks

Dave

I use KY jelly as its pretty much sanitary to seal all my corny keg seals and to lubricate disconnects etc

I got hold of some food grade lubricant from eBay. Apparently used in ice cream machines. Was a bit dearer than Vaseline but the tube has lasted years. My dad and brother have pinched a load of it as well for their corny keg o rings.

Hi!
+1 for KY Jelly or Boots equivalent.

Reminds me of the newly weds who couldn't tell the difference between putty and KY jelly. All their windows fell out.

I did go into Superdrug to buy a pis*pot for under the bed. The girl said, "We don't stock them. Have you tried Boots?" I said, "Yes, but it runs out of the lace holes."
