This is a great lid to have on hand when you want to add a stopper with an airlock to your 6 gallon bucket. It has a 1 1/4" pre-drilled hole which fits a #7 or universal stopper. Drilled in-house at MoreBeer!
Note: This lid is not an air tight seal. There is no gasket in this lid.
I ordered the starter kit and it only cam with one lid, i need 2 lids so I can have 2 batches of beer going at once. Please add another lid to you beer starter kits.
I picked this because apparently lids don’t come with buckets. Which isn’t obvious until you wait 2 weeks for shipping and get buckets without lids. Super.

I received this today and am concerned. it is smaller than a #7 so i have to shove it in the hole almost all the way. I also bought a 3/8 blow off tube but the hole in the stopper is a little too big so there's not a tight seal. So now what?

I should have read the reviews before buying. As others have said, these lids are known not to seal. Why MoreBeer would choose to sell a lid with a hole for an airlock that they know doesn’t seal is beyond me. Don’t be a chump like me, choose a better product.
I some how missed the part of having to buy a bubbler and adapter plug separate from the lid. Other than that this product seems to fit the bill. Since I am currently with out the addon's I haven't used this part of my fermenter as yet.
Fits nicely, but not being airtight is a big deal...need to find a gasket to get a better seal. Not many bubbles in air lock because it's escaping out the lid!
Hello David, we're sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction. We note that the lid does not come with a gasket in the product description. We recommend these buckets for primary fermentation as the amount of pressure produced during fermentation is thought to prevent oxygen from going in.

Poor seal
Does not seal adequately. Couldn’t tell if fermentation has started or not.
Disappointed as I wanted to have another beer going along side my main primary which is purpose built, so I bought a 6gal bucket from MoreBeer and this lid. But, after seeing no activity on the airlock but plenty of krausen, I realized it does not seal well. Would rather have a lid with a good seal and just drill my own hole.

Mad. Not the lid pictured. Does not match the Fermentation Bucket.
Should I have to read the reviews, or should the item pictured be the one that I recieved? The lid is not the standard white food grade lid which comes with the standard white food grade bucket. It should be a matching pair, especially since that is what is pictured in the photo. My lid is translucent with a hole which is much larger than the one pictured (I do not have stopper sizes visually memorized). Unfortunately for me I assumed that MoreFlavor would make it logical and simple. In their defense they did say that it took a number 7 stopper (which I ordered) and that it didn't come with a gasket (I didn't see the fine print, but why sell a fermenter lid that is not air tight? Anti-logic!). They did not say that it did not match the picture of the lid, or the bucket pictured on their website! Four dollars isn't worth the return postage! A picture is not worth a thousand words at MoreFlavor! And I still need a lid. Furious.
Seals good, lid is on pretty tight. I didn't notice that it didn't come with the gasket. Either way I fermented pretty good. FG was on point and my beer taste's good.
It's a very well made lid that fits the 6 Gal bucket very well. Would give it 5 stars if it came with a smaller hole and gasket for a water lock. I used a rubber stopper and it seems to be working fine, but not all stoppers will be big enough to fit.
Why sell a lit with no gasket I know it's my fault for not reading the note but I already have a batch fermenting and 2 days into fermentation there are no bubbles out of the airlock so I smelt around the lid and sure enough the lid leaks. Very disappointed!! Be sure to buy gasket.
I have not had any issues with this lid not sealing. I know so because I have had yeast overflow out of my airlock. An added benefit is that it uses a size 7 stopper so if yeast does overflow it is easy to remove the stopper and/or airlock to save the batch.
Lid closes but not airtight, buy gasket as recommended
It is what it is, a plastic lid for a fermenting bucket. I did not buy the gasket right off the bat, but still used it with an airlock to ferment. Even though the seal was not there my beer turned out all right. I gave it four stars because I wish the gasket was included.
