Having a bad day WG?
I fart in public, when I feel like it, and if someone complains, then I will

I found they worked pretty well on my 100L ferment, although when i got to the ...

Cork gasket ftw, thanks for the tip.

Nice, thanks for the heads up, might give cork a try.
Viton is meant to be food safe but it’s expensive. It would have to be made to the right measurements whereas with cork i can just make it to whatever size i want, ive got some cork somewhere as well so its a no brainer if i can find it.

Has anyone tried viton seals on your stills?
They have really high chemical resistance and are really durable. I'm wondering if they are any good for distilling.
I use them in chemical sprayers at work and they last ages, normal rubber seals break down pretty quick when using aggressive chemicals ...
