What Happened To The Black Spigot?

Post by LibertyCallBeer »

I've seen many pictures of the BrewDemon with a black spigot, mine came with white one. Is there a difference other than color?

I don't have a BD fermenter, but would guess to say if it fits and doesn't leak you're good to go. I know my MrBeer spigots were white when I was brewing in those fermenters.

Also regardless of color don't over tighten it. Just snug enough not to leak.

I've got a new one with the black spigot, but now on the site they're back to white. As long as it works like it's supposed to, you're good.

I just bought a 2 gallon fermenting tub from brewdemon and it had a black spigot, but it lasted 2 brews and it broke. I have since seen lot of reviews that there's also broke. Maybe they are changing them?. I got new ones from Amazon

Do you have a link for the spigots you found on Amazon?

I got the small BD Conical for Christmas for my small batches, I would like to have a replacement on hand.

Those are exactly the same as they came with in the "old days".
