I found these grommets and airlocks are bigger than the ones I got from my lhbs.
These are the ones I bought
It took some searching to find ones that weren't ridiculously pricey.
The silicone lid gaskets I have
I don't recall if I used 1/2" or 9/16" as recommended on the grommet packaging.
OSH sells plastic buckets manufactured by Argee with their name on it. I checked Argee's website and found this statement:
> All of Argee’s White Pails are Food Safe, and contain No-BPA.
So I bought them and I bought these grommets to put in a ½" hole I drilled in the lids.
I also try to minimize leaving the house. I like DIY projects so I made airlocks using plastic mason jar lids.
You can also get the entire mason jar fermenting lids pre-fab ready to go
I got silicone seals to make them airtight.
I drilled 9/16" holes and inserted plastic grommets.
Then I use 3 piece acrylic airlocks. I think that 3piece makes it easier to clean and acrylic is sturdier than plastic but that's just me. They make plastic ones.
I found this to be pretty cost-effective especially since I don't already own any reCAP lids. It was an easy-peasy project. Just be sure to clamp the lids to something otherwise you can't drill proper holes.
I am super happy with them; they work great and I didn't have to leave the house ;)
