Pressure Relief Valve.

[wide eyed and legless]

So last year I bought something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Adjusta...rew-0-15psi-/322780277300?hash=item4b27342a34 and I'm hoping this PVR will screw into where the current almost-impossible-to-use screw adjuster fits ... any idea if it will?

Using the adapters which moonhead has pictured, post 50 the answer would be yes, but I would check the thread on the one you have bought , either way it will be 1/4" BSP or NPT

cool ... and I get to visit my fav store Bunnings too ... this thread just keeps on giving still in for two please, thanks weal

Keen for two please

anyone considered using an AR2000 backwards?

Someone mentioned it in one of the pressure fermenting threads, don't know if they went ahead and tried it. The adjustment starts at 7 PSI so may be a bit high for some.

Here is one thread where it mentions a similar valve koshari, they do not seem to work at lower pressures. https://aussiehomebrewer.com/threads/pressurized-fermentation.75447/

Hey mate, I'd like two PRVs please if you haven't ordered yet. Thanks, Sam.

Still negotiating delivery costs, when I have that sorted I will start a list here and the other side.

I'm curious to know if there is a benifit to using one of these for naturally carbonating kegs

I carbonate my kegs using the natural carbonation from fermentation, release the initial gas which contains the impurities you don't need, the back pressure will carbonate the beer with what is left for the fermentation. I use a hand pump on some of my beers and natural carbonation of a keg equals the mouthfeel and taste of that. Even though bottled gas is classed as pure it is actually a by product, there is an article I will source and post it up, and as we are producing CO2 why waste it and then buy it!

I have natcarbed kegs before, I don't mind a couple of cloudy pints and I have heard that it produces finer Bubbles. I have seen on here references to carbonating in the keg with one of these. So I am curious as to why someone would do that.

I'm keen to get into pressure fermentation and my valve is ready to go.

Put me down for 2 please. Thanks WEAL

So I am curious as to why someone would do that.

If you use too much priming sugar, the yeast will just munch through it all and the spunding valve will keep carbonation levels correct regardless.

Bought an adapter yesterday, had to go to 2 Bunnings stores to get one, one was cleaned out so moonhead should ask for commission, any chance of a low pressure gauge to go with the PRV WEAL?

 

[wide eyed and legless]

Have been looking at them today actually problem is some people will want higher pressure gauges I am happy with a 15 PSI gauge more accurate too.

 

[wide eyed and legless]

A detailed look at the calibration of the valve compared to the gauge.

Keen on 2 also

 

[kaiserben]

Interested. Probably just for 1.

 

[wide eyed and legless]

OK prices, the price for the valve is $4.66 US shipping they will not budge on at $510.12 US even though I could get the shipping myself for around $200 US the reply I got was, we can't use them at this time. I have a feeling that because they made a big mistake on the shipping price on the last order they are trying to claw some money back.
So with bank charges and for 150 valves it will work out at $11.25 AU each landed here, $8.00 postage within Australia no matter how many within reason, so if you want 3 it is $33.75 + $8.00, 1 will be $19.25 inclusive.
So anyone interested start a list from here.
