Can i use this to create a gasket betwen a screw on lid and a small beer fermenting tank?? Is this porous ?

I don't see why not. It is not porous. It cuts easily to any size. Your use of it sounds like it would be more fun than what I use this for. lol Good luck!!

As long as it the right dimensions, I believe it would work. It is not porous.

it is smooth but I think you could use it because it is kind of rubbery feeling

I'm not an expert on Silicone but I think it sounds like a good idea - It is non porous and heat resistant so should work - I'm using it in my artwork as a heat resistant, non-stick surface with a glue gun.

i would not use it to bottle beer. i don't feel the seal on the top is permanent enough for the storage of beer over any period of time. mw

I dont think it'd seal tight enough like a growler to keep it "fresh" as when you buy the beer. You may feel free to try it but i honestly think you'll have flat beer til you finish it!

Yes. In the picture, to the left of the stainless steel lids, is a stack of clear glass disks with frosted edges, that fit in a wide-mouth jar opening and will hold the fermenting material below the surface of the liquid. The kit is well made and just as advertised. A good investment if you want to do small batches of fermented foods. I have several going at the same time.

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

The one I bought did not fit my tap. I would only recommend it for Growler filling. Make sure the opening on your tap is the right size. Some like my Perlick are too small.

I've never tried it, but it should work as long as you do not fill it all the way. It does seal well so should hold the carbonation, but if it's filled to the top and agitated at all, opening the vent to drink will probably get a geyser of soda.

You wouldn't ferment in this. Buy a carboy or a food grade bucket. Needs to be airtight. Then you still are better off with a racking siphon than a spigot. The goal is to get most of the yeast and solids to settle out before bottling. I would read up. There's tons of great books out there. Or do like me and learn by trial and error. Makes for some bad beer at first though. Cheers

I really don't know, but fermented food continues to ferment and off gas making pressure so I would think it is inadvisable to try and seal it in a vacuum. Perhaps making smaller batches or eating it up faster would help -not sure my refer is 97% ferments in jars! (I think I am not one to talk!)

Yes - I use the propane tank from my grill. I use this unit to brew beer - it works great.

Yes you can, this was the purpose we purchased it for as a matter of fact. We use it for both mead and beer making.

All of my reseach shows yes, however I used it as a benefical bacterial to brew and multiply in a compost tea. It seems to have done well in that medium. It is more ideally designed for hydro setups.

Hi, any Safety Supply company can fill it, or check with your local HVAC, and Welding Supply companies. Also for great advice on operation of the CO2 call your local Craft Brewery. Be patient with the Co2, we leaked out the entire first bottle accidentally..

Someone else asked that question. I guess that is a stinky fermented brew. I can't give you a good answer. It does not seal tight so don't know if you need that. Hope you get an answer.

It should work fine if you want a clear glasslike finish on the whole wood surface. It is probably not the best use for it if you are just filling holes. It is also self-leveling. I used it to embed craft beer bottle lids on a tray and it turned out well.

Yes. The bottom is very thick - I purchased this type because it resembles an All-Clad stock pot at a fraction of the cost. I brew beer in this and it sits on my burner on high for over 3 hours. No problems.

You can pour from it...it'll just be a slow pour. The hole is about double the size of a straw. Hope that helps.
