By "tap", do you mean "pail"?
Too bad they are in the UK or I get a couple too.

If you go to their equipment page and select
"Fermenter Spares", they sell a lid with an
"O" ring!

Get an "O" ring, drill the correct size hole,
debur the hole, and insert the "O" ring. Don't
give the *******s the satisfaction of paying
for two lids.

I hope their prices are in Euros, not Pounds!
