I got ahold of a couple of small batch size buckets for fermenters and drill holes for the airlocks and installed grommets from HD. After 2 batches (1 per bucket) the grommets seem to have "melted" or reacted to the airlock plastic and they have all but disintegrated. The ones I have on my "ale pales" have been doing fine for several years.
Are the grommets included with the buckets from homebrew "shops" made of a different material? Can anyone suggest a replacement?
