Hi Dennis, I'm looking for the same thing. Did you ever have any luck finding something that would work? Thanks! Aaron

Try emptying out the dispenser, cleaning the bottom and the top piece with hot water - then refill the top with honey and boil some water and put it in the bottom part. Put the honey filled part on top and let it sit for 5 minutes to warm the honey. After you are done using the dispenser, empty out the water in the lower part and refill it 5 minutes before using it the next time. That should do it. Remember also, you can dry the whole thing out completely if you like and you can put in dry sugar or sugar substitute inside and dispense sweetener that way if you don't want to do the honey thing... -Levon-

I've made lemonade with fresh lemons, and had no problem clogging. The plastic spigot did start to leak, but I applied super glue and wrapped with black electric tape and it fixed it...

Hi Lisa- I am doing the same project, and plan to use this: Italian Bottling Spigot

Though I am uncertain I have the right dispenser( we have acquired several), The spigot is a flexible plastic, I think... JMK

Maybe add a little alcohol (vodka) to the water and create a hostile environment for the mold, seal tight in ziploc baggie. No really good idea though, the long term storage combined with the sugar in the syrups compounds the problem.

I got the Stainless Works Stainless Steel Beverage Dispenser Replacement Spigot(Polished Finish) and it fits great. It's more durable and pulp, etc doesn't clog it like the plastic ones. It costs more, but worth it.

I had the same problem!! The spigot stopped working, it would just make a clicking sound. Switch to shower and try it. For some reason that seems to reboot the system. I have to do this almost every time I use the dang thing. It is our cabin water pump/heater so lots of use and frustration. I wish I had my Coleman back! Anyway, try switching settings... Perhaps shut it down first. Good luck!

spigot doesn't clog. There is no filter behind it. You can add 1/2 inch filter tube.

Cover the bottom hole with your finger and then unscrew and remove the top assembly. Fill with honey or syrup, leaving a little room for the plunger and rod when you screw the top back on. The plunger will push your finger out of the way as it seats in the bottom hole. I've had my honey dispenser for over ten years and this way of filling works for me.

For that I'd use nutritional yeast. This has other added ingredients and is a little pricey for sprinkling imo.

Wayne, that is the real problem here, the gasket is made out of plastic, I just threw the dispenser in the trash a couple of weeks ago after finally using all the honey. We just went back to the little "honey bear" you can buy at the grocery store.

On amazon. I bought a stainless steel spigot to make kombucha. Easy to switch out and much better quality

I found just sitting the jar on a plate or small bowl is enough to keep honey from flowing out. Fill this way and screw top on and there is minimal mess. Just don't lift until top is on.

No, sorry, I don't have any suggestions. I used the duck pods once only, and finding them to be too fiddly to fill, use and then clean out again, I gave up. They are more burdensome than useful.

I have the he version for my kombucha. The spigot is plastic and it's terrible, I just tried cleaning it out and it still barely drips. I plan to buy a stainless less steel spigot also offered on Amazon. I have always read that stainless steel is actually preferable for kombucha brewing, even compared to glass and especially plastic.
