No O ring

[Jordang]

Started a St Peters Stout last night and once it was all in the FV I noticed the 4” o ring had gone walkabout! I tried to seal it as best I could with a smidge of olive oil in the thread but is this lack of o ring going to knacker it? I’ve just ordered a spare but it’s looking like a week without a proper tight seal.

No it'll be fine. You don't need a tight seal, you just need to stop and airborne nasties getting in. I use a FV with just a plastic lid on it which doesn't seal, and never have a problem. Just leave it alone and don't worry.

Sweet, thats one less thing to worry about! cheers
