I have always thoroughly enjoyed how DIY and gadgety the brewing industry has always been/is–being a commercial brewer means wearing a lot of different hats and the ability to change on the fly as issues present themselves.  So that being said hats off to Larry Chase of Standing Stone Brewing in Ashland, OR who was using these butter knives to stem the flow of a small gasket leak on one of his FV’s when I visited recently (I think he mentioned he ‘borrowed’ this idea from Four Peaks Brewing in Scottsdale, AZ).  Outstanding indeed.

and how would you solve a leaking gasket on a FV you've just filled?
