Spunding Valve

[pirateagenda]

i use a 9.95 keg king guage that goes to 60 psi. easy fix.

Hmm yet to bite the bullet, they did just restock, might grab one for testing, then have a chat with Bobby see if he can do a bulk lot down under, watch this space, prolly just after Xmas.

I reckon we could probably get at least 20 going. There will be a few new pressure fermenting souls due to JB's score and generous sharing of it.

Think that is the one they are referring to..

yep that one ... thought it was 60 but just checked and it is 80.

Anyone wanting one of the pressure relief valve as sold on amazon ? Ordering a few.

 

[bigmacthepunker]

I grabbed these as my sister in law in the US on holiday atm. Free delivery.

 

[Digga]

I'd be all over one at the right price Ridge runner.

I tried and every time I got my items in the cart they wouldn't ship to Australia as some items were from amazon and you had to have a min spend etc. By the time I got enough for the mini spend things added up then they shipped in 2 separate shipments and it was around $80 ea for 3.

I'll wait till a BB happens as mentioned above.

They look exactly the same as the amazon pieces so see how that comes out first.

You need to use shop mate Digga
This will give you an American address
Postage is about $30 this way though

With the opening of Amazon AU store immanent, I hoping we can get through this.

 

[ridge runner]

Pressure gauge of 80psi any reason for that size ? My plans use a 30psi?

 

[Mardoo]

AFAIC, you want to experiment with very high fermenting pressures you’d find an 80psi gauge useful. However for almost all pressure fermenting purposes 30psi is enough.

Anyone ferment above 30psi?

May sound stupid but are all you guys that are fermenting in kegs, are they 50 litre kegs? Assuming you would have to reduce the volume to ferment in a standard corny key?

I have a 23L mytton keg that I also use. Pressure keeps the krausen down, be carefull when releasing pressure at ferment temp, as the krausen will rise rapidly (much like when you open up a warm bottle of beer i guess)

 

[hobospy]

Ahhhhh, that makes sense. May have to just reduce my fermenter volume. Does anyone include a NRV between the keg post and the gauge?

 

[Mardoo]

Be a good idea. Honestly it hadn't even occurred to me. Would be a good alternative to cleaning the spunding valve every few brews. I may get a couple of those German disconnects with the NRV built in.

Edit: Oh, and volume. I ferment up to 30L in a 40 litre Mytton Rodd keg. I've actually had 20L ferments in those blow krause out the valve, and 35L ferments not do that, all on top fermenting yeasts. May try Fermcap.

Wouldn't it stop your gauge working.
