Your cart is empty. Pressure Fermentations With pressurised fermentation becoming ever more popular
it has become increasingly important to have a method of regulating and
controlling this residual pressure from the fermentation process. The BlowTie
has been designed specifically for this reason.

This appears to be very similar to the Kegland spunding valve kit. Although these parts look cheap and plasticky, they do work very well. This product is designed to fit on the air post of a Cornelius keg and vent the pressure inside the keg until the mechanically set pressure is achieved. The assembled system appears to be quite fragile – it uses Duotight style push-fit connectors to connect things up. Although these fittings appear to be fairly loose and the gauge will twist in its fitting under the force of gravity, everything appears to be very leak-tight so I shouldn’t complain. The pressure inside the keg is adjusted by a threaded handle. This has to be rotated clockwise to raise the pressure (reduce the venting) and anticlockwise to reduce the pressure or even fully vent the keg. This handle was rough to rotate but was much smoother after applying some food-grade grease. This spunding valve can be used for pressurized fermentations and keg-to-keg transfers of pressurized beer but I will be using it mainly to de-gas over-pressurized beer in kegs.

These BlowTie plastic Spunding regulators are amazingly accurate. I already have one of the models with the integrated pressure gauge, but it's hard to read and only goes to 15 PSI. It's also nice to use this to decompress when doing transfers, so you avoid foam overflows. You can also put a long clear tube between the ball lock connector and the valve/gauge and use it to know when you serving keg is filled without filling the valve/gauge with beer
