fermenter lid stuck

Post by Davo6869 »

Does anyone have a problem unscrewing the lid off the fermenter after a brew is finished? I'm using a Coopers brew kit fermenter and the problem is getting worse each time. I'm afraid that one day it's gonna be stuck forever.

Perhaps I have a new use for the vaseline by the beside table?

A homebrew is like a fart, only the brewer thinks it's great.
