Does the Spigot clog easily? I am looking for a container with spigot for cheese making and want to make sure it will not clog with the curd.

The spigot is almost 1/2 in diameter. I have never clogged it while brewing beer even with all grain and hops

I purchased this item to finish off my maple syrup. I didn't have any problem with that, but I'm not sure how it would work for cheese. The finished maple syrup is thick, but not as thick as the cheese curd would be.

I have one of these stainless pots. The spigot has a 1/2" diameter pipe thread fitting on the end so that you can add additional piping to the unit. The spigot has a ball valve and the inside dimension of the opening in this ball valve is slightly less than 1/2". This is the smallest opening inside this spigot. If your curd will pass thru this opening without trouble you should be fine. One other thing you may need to know. The spigot is about 1.5" off the bottom of the pot so a lot of material will lay in the bottom of this pot unless you tip it at an angle to drain it. The pot is made of very thin stainless steel, but the bottom is thicker material. I had to order a new top when mine arrived because it wouldn't fit properly. This pot is made in China. That's all the info. I have for you. Good luck.

Hi Carol, Yes, it is easy to clean when you put milk in it. But the two I bought both leaked, and neither had a gasket in the cap.

Mine doesn't leak at all, but I have not turned it upside down to test this. I don't think that the lid creates a real tight seal because the spigot does not ever quit running smoothly so air is getting in somewhere.

Yea, you can juice just soft fruits/veggies just fine. I made a Wheatgrass and pineapple juice this morning, both softness. I've on many occasions used solely Wheatgrass /other greens. The rrecommendation of using a hard item in conjunction is to make sure there is no clogging. However, it isn't necessary. And if it does clog, not take a less than a minute to rinse out the clog and reattach.

You wouldn't ferment in this. Buy a carboy or a food grade bucket. Needs to be airtight. Then you still are better off with a racking siphon than a spigot. The goal is to get most of the yeast and solids to settle out before bottling. I would read up. There's tons of great books out there. Or do like me and learn by trial and error. Makes for some bad beer at first though. Cheers

I never used the spigot and I did not try to remove it because the hose hides it pretty well where I have the stand located. I have had it for over a year now and it is holding up great. Sorry I cannot tell you more.

I have not had a problem with the juicer getting clogged. Highly recommend it.

My juicer has not clogged up. I like the pulp so I do not try to restrict it. I believe that you can adjust the fittings to reduce pulp in the juice. In have not tried it. Overall, I really like the juicer.

It works great never gets clogged up!! Just leave the plug out and the water level always stays full, until you have to refill the jug.

I would love to know this too! My spigot has leaked since the very first time I used it. I would love to hear if you found a place that sells them!

I found it pretty easy to clean. If I grated cheese I just let the parts soak in soapy dishwater for a bit. Then I spray it with water from the hose from the sink. Haven't had any problems.

Mine is the same as everyone else's! HeeHee! I'll just add a tip to use distilled water in it, so you don't get a buildup of stuff inside, because it's not terribly easy to clean. I have two, both are working great, and I would buy again.

I typically use this to grate hard cheeses, but it will definitely zest citrus fruits too. It does not get clogged and it's easy and quick!

No, it does not clog my pump. It dissolves totally within 5 minutes or so. Just stir well. You can even dissolve it before you add it to the container that houses your pump.

The spigot is plastic. I do worry about that but it works well and doesn't leak. It is the only negative about this beautiful beverage jar dispenser. The stand and lid are chromed metal.

No, Mine seals tight, I would return it. There is a small seal between the loop and the straw. I shake mine to mix my splenda and it doesn't leak at all.
