Re: EZ Cap losing pressure

[Guest guest]

There is a rubber gasket in the E-z caps .. If they leak it is time to replace

them.. You can find them at some brewery supply stores. I got some at this place

http://www.homebrewit.com/

E-Z caps when in good condition don't leak at all .. They will release neither

liquid nor pressure. You could put our brew upside down they shouldn't leak a

drop

Subject: EZ Cap losing pressure

 

I'm getting good carbonation in my KT with ginger added but I rece tly started

using glass bottles with EZ Cap. I placed several bottles in the fridge and they

all held the fizzies well but one. I had put that one on its side and after 3

days about a teaspoon of liquid had dripped out, and the KT was much less fizzy

than the others.

Did laying on its side cause?

Thanks.

A careful inspection showed the rubber gasket to be slightly off-center. I will

be more careful when squaring up the rubber before clamping down the bail.
