Is the fermenter's lid supposed to come with a gasket? I just received mine and it did not have one and when I put the lid on to rinse it it leaked...

My husband said, he didn't think it had a gasket...but he hasn't had any issues with leakage either.

The one I got was a gift for my son, they said there lid didn't come with a gasket. The DVD tells you if you have all the parts or not. I hope this helps.

It's not supposed to seal. The top of the keg has notches in it to allow it to breathe during the fermentation process. This is why it must be carbonated in the bottles �

It's supposed to leak! if you watch the DVD it explains that the reason it leaks is because there are small holes in the lid area that are for fermentation purposes.

The one I gave as a gift did not have one either and it leaked when hand tightening.

Let it LEAK! it needs to vent off CO2 and if you prevent that it could pressurize and rupture the keg. So no gasket and ensure the two small slits in the keg lid collar are clear. When sanitizing the keg, hold it upside down and if water leaks out you are good to go.

It does have a gasket as well as a lock on it! My husband is very pleased with it. Using it for a timer box for sprinkler system.

Mine came with a gasket, so I'll need to send the gasket I ordered separately back.

I just filled a small ball jar more than 1/2 way with water, tightened the lid and shook the heck out of it. No spills or leaks! Then I set it sort of upside down in a bowl (like it fell over in your bag) - Its been about an hour - no water in the bowl! There is no gasket but I think it'll work.

If it is a new unit I would try and replace the lid. That is not supposed to leak when you open the co2 cartridge into the unit. Ours just pops out red ring visible but no gas leaks out. Must be a faulty unit. If it developed over time may be the seal is frayed .

It came with the ring gasket. My wife ordered this product and says it's great and saved us from buying a whole new appliance. Cheers!

No there is no cover gasket with the pot. I don't use the cover when making beer.

Don't see a gasket in mine. The top has to be tightened down completely in order to build pressure.

i'm not sure what you mean. My lids you kind of press down in the middle when you put it on and it seals really tight. I don't see any gaskets though, although the sides of the lid are double lipped if that makes sense.

It's a press-on lid with a rubber gasket. It's really tight. However, it still leaks through the top because the drinking hole is not completely sealed when closed. It's just a spin closure.

My gasket was not built in. The entire bottom of the glass section of the blender came apart for cleaning. My gasket cracked in half and the replacement worked perfectly. Hope this helps you.

Sorry, wish I could be more help. Mine was an older model as well and it was trial & error. I did find that as long as you go with the same brand as your cooker, odds are you'll get a seal if it fits the lid. Be sure to take gasket out when not in use and store separate from lid

Yes, this has the updated spigot. However, we found the spigot problem occurred when the rubber washer was placed on the inside of the fermenter (it should be placed on the outside) and most importantly, these customers used StarSans as the sanitizer. This is an acid based sanitizer and should never be used with our equipment.

No, the lid has no gasket, but as it cooks the moisture seals it. I have used it several times and it works great. I hope this helps.

You are correct. There is a plastic gasket that comes with it. I find that sometimes it still leaks. The gasket should have been made out of rubber. I still like mine. I use mine for cane syrup.

I did not put it together but my brother did and followed the directions. Since I have had it there have been no leaks. I don't know if the gaskets were involved but if you follow directions it works great.
