All carboy caps equal?

[Jaggz]

The reason I ask, I recently purchased an allinonewine pump and was wanting to test it out using water before running my wine thru it. Anyhow, I only have one orange carboy cap & for the life of me, couldn't get a good seal on the tubing and I could hear air coming from around the outer edge as it was transferring. As long as I held it "down", as was good but if I let up, it would drastically slow down.

So are all caps the same or do perhaps have a second-rate cap?

Nope, all the orange ones are like that. Did you not get the one that came with the AIO?

 

[Jaggz]

Hmm, I didn't get one with my pump? I had one already, but I kept thinking that there is no way that this one was gonna work! Any recommendations on which one I need?

 

[dralarms]

Yep, the one Steve sells, it fits everything I have except better bottles and can't use it on them anyway.

I originally started out using the universal orange bung for the first 6 months or so and yes I was receiving calls that not all carboy outside necks are the same. So I decided to plunge into making my own 6.5 tappered gum bung that will fit most all carboys. See my accessory page for more information.

If you have purshased a Allinone within the past year - you should have the updated bung - not the Orange one.

Hey Steve - thanks for the PM...is this the new bung that you are making?!? I noticed this in the box but for the life of me, after studying the photo, couldn't figure out where this went!

That's it. Stick a racking cane in the big hole.

Woo-hoo! Apparently I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed! Thanks all for the help & thanks Steve for an awesome product!
