Informative, thank you. I am just going to venture into pressurised fermentation and am waiting for that kit to arrive. I am going to use a pressure barrel (King Keg type thing) because I have a couple spare. I intend to keep the S30 Valve in the barrel cap and add the corney thingy connection pillar and your video has eased some of my concerns regarding this. Thank you.
Kia Ora bro Haydz here just wanted to msg you and thank you for that extract Neipa recipe I tweaked my hop bill up, but mate its my best beer yet thank you so much 👌 keep up the great work woohoo
Awesome gash, I just ordered 2 fermzillas (which are on back order in the states)pressure kits, and everything you have there (the pressure gauges are also on backorder)...you just saved me a lot of time AND a huge headache when I finally get them!!thanks for the great videos!!!
Hey mate do you feed the output of the spunding valve into a glass of water/sanitizer during ferment or is it ok just into atmosphere? Wasn't sure if it would let air in without the out line into something. Cheers
Excellent thanks mate! So when you were transferring from fermentor to keg, were you injecting CO2 - from the CO2 bottle? If so, doesn't that waste your CO2? Thanks
Great info mate, learnt a lot over the last couple of years from your vids. Reckon you could do a quick one on gas in-line quick disconnects, (not the post types)? I'd pay but you can see how poor I am, I make homebrew ;-). One tip, reinforce that rack in your fridge the fermenter is sitting on, prop it up with a bit of 2 x 4 !!!
Sorry mate, I dont own one and I wasnt sure what you were talking about. I use the fittings in this video if I need to disconnect a line, or the screw MFL fittings. Cheers
If you've used the old common spunding valves, especially the ones with the better black control knob that I currently use. The cheap ones were useless but the black knob ones seem to work fairly well. I'd love to know if you think these are less or more easily controllable and which one you prefer. I just use cornies for pressure fermenting. Thanks for the vid.
Good video, I brought the Kegland set with bow tie and gauge, before the Fermzilla V2 comes out in NZ. Can I ask you about the Kegland 2200w elements? You mentioned the new improved ones in one of your other videos are they good and do they last? I want to convert my system to electric and looking at buying 2 of them 👍🍺.
They are great, I havent had any issues with them, once I dry fried mine then it blew a few weeks later. Not surprising really, I have not used them in a boil pot, though people do. Cheers!
Its not a set pressure I use all the time, its a rough thing, usually between 4 and 10 psi. I havent worked it out yet but there comes a point where flows not going to get much faster anyway, and also you dont want things foaming up. Only thing you need to be careful of is making sure you connect the right posts etc if you have more pressure in the fermenter and accidentally connect the gas bottle to the beer line, you'll have beer in regulator, or at least the gas line. Cheers!
@@HomeBrewNetwork Awesome - thanks a lot for the reply and the tips. I just got the blow tie today so I will be using this advice when I do a pressure transfer next week. Cheers!
@@HomeBrewNetwork Yeah was only going to pressure as most do to 10 or 12 to carbonate anyway. Its just i have seen some do it higher. But this should be fine. Cheers.
The Home Brew Network oh I see. First time using the blowtie or any kind of spunding valve so I was a bit lost. So once fermentation starts and pressure begins to build, the blowtie will release any pressure needed to maintain the 9psi. Hope I’m correct in saying that?
@@twt_figgy yes thats how it works, you will notice a drop in pressure as the co2 is absorbed into the beer, but once ferment starts it will build up again. Cheers!
The Home Brew Network wanted to give you an update. Currently have it sitting at 10psi with the blowtie slightly open letting out whatever excess gas is not needed. Been maintaining at 10psi since yesterday. So far so good! Thank you so much for your help! Cheers!
theyd be great if when kegland send you the setup for the blow tie the gauge isnt faulty ... i got one two days ago and the gauge sits on 20 kpa .... emailed them straight away ... no reply ...... gave them the benefit of the doubt emailed them again the next day ...... nothing .... and yeah the gauge is worth $10 but the order was $168.... i wont spend another cent with them .... at least with ebay you can enter a dispute and either be refunded or get a new item at the sellers cost .
You should try ringing them, they have been under the pump lately, truly a few days behind, I don't get any special treatment and it can take a little while for them to get back. They will send you a new one no worries. I can't help you unfortunately I don't work for them or anything. They will get back to you. Have you tried their facebook page? Cheers mate.
all good mate. it is only $10 so no big deal i just hate companies that are quick to take your money but go mia when something goes wrong on their end .if they replace it ill buy every thing from them but if not ebay it is .,,,, love your channel btw . your vids are so detailed and easy for blokes like me to follow
I got a huge email reply, what it basically says is the new EVA line they stock is near identical. www.kegland.com.au/evabarrier-4mm-x-8mm-double-wall-eva-12meter-roll-in-bag.html?cmid=U1VxL0FMYmxTRzA9&afid=NHRQa2ViaTBnT0k9&ats=V2dpVFFYTmszWDA9
This was a bit of it Valpar Superflex hose has the same technology used in it's manufacture as our EVABarrier. The Valpar beer line is a product manufactured and sold by Micro Matic. Micro Matic have a fairly heafty margin on this type of beer line which is why it's so expensive. With that said it's not very complicated to make. It just required a duel extrusion machine and some custom made dies to make this beer line. So as a result we decided to partner with a large extruder and purchase new dies so we could make our own beer line to the same specification as the Valpar beer line. We purchase the bulk raw materials for the manufacture of this beer line and own our own dies for the extrusion process. We have also committed to fairly large production volumes because we supply the EVABarrier tubing in America and Europe. This combination of factors has enabled us to make a great high quality beer line that is similar to Valpar but much better value. Our EVABarrier tubing has the same flexibility as the Valpar tubing and is able to bend around same bending radius. Also from the perspective of oxygen and co2 transmission rate our EVABarrier tubing and the Valpar tubing have almost identical test results in that respect. I think a lot of home brewing customers do not really regard gas transmission rate as a factor but it really does make a difference especially if you leave the beer line line for 2 weeks or more. I think a lot of home brewers don't really appreciate how oxygen sensitive beer is.
THANK YOU first person to point out that the valve is one way
I use the exact same valve to ferment apple juice ciders in keg under pressure, and serve straight from the keg. Works great!
Great video! Thank you!!! Covered exactly what I needed to know and will be transferring like this in future. What a breeze. Thanks again!
Glad it was helpful!

Glad you liked it mate! Cheers!
Awesome vid mate! Great use of the blow tie valve. It looks like its made the transfer process so much easier! Cheers Gash!
It did mate, Cheers Parkooooooooo
First of all, congratulations on your video. My question is for how long did you inject CO2 at 20 psi?
Awesome gash, I just ordered 2 fermzillas (which are on back order in the states)pressure kits, and everything you have there (the pressure gauges are also on backorder)...you just saved me a lot of time AND a huge headache when I finally get them!!thanks for the great videos!!!
Thanks for watching mate, Cheers!
Hey mate I noticed kegland just put gas disconnects with inbuilt check valves on the website so that'll mean you'll be able to leave the gauge on
I hadn't seen those, but sounds like it! Cheers for that! Thanks mate
Hey mate do you feed the output of the spunding valve into a glass of water/sanitizer during ferment or is it ok just into atmosphere? Wasn't sure if it would let air in without the out line into something. Cheers
Excellent thanks mate! So when you were transferring from fermentor to keg, were you injecting CO2 - from the CO2 bottle? If so, doesn't that waste your CO2? Thanks

you mean the connecters I use in this? or the one way gas valve ones?

Nice vid champ, Just put the same spunding valve together and will use it on the Fermzilla , cheers! Gazza
Great video mate - really well explained and no bullshit! Thanks! Quick question - how much pressure did you put in your keg prior to transfer?
Its not a set pressure I use all the time, its a rough thing, usually between 4 and 10 psi. I havent worked it out yet but there comes a point where flows not going to get much faster anyway, and also you dont want things foaming up. Only thing you need to be careful of is making sure you connect the right posts etc if you have more pressure in the fermenter and accidentally connect the gas bottle to the beer line, you'll have beer in regulator, or at least the gas line.

Thanks mate. Great knowledge share.
No problem 👍
Hi mate. Just got mine delivered, and it only goes to 15psi. Yours goes higher. Maybe they changed it. Cheers.
Yes it looks like they have! You could change it out if you wanted, but 15psi is plenty for a ferment. Cheers!
@@HomeBrewNetwork Yeah was only going to pressure as most do to 10 or 12 to carbonate anyway. Its just i have seen some do it higher. But this should be fine. Cheers.
Easy to follow, thanks.
You're welcome!
Awesome , giving this a go for sure!
They are great! Cheers!
Great closed transfer setup there gash
Worked really well, thanks mate! cheers
It's all push-in, .................................... except for that ....... it's screw-in :O lol love it :-)
I had a spring with my kit
You think you could use these as secondary regulators for a kegerator when you wanted to run different pressures on different kegs?
I guess you could put it on a line to a keg that you wanted lower pressure than the others Cheers!
cheers Gash!
Cheers steve!
Do you put the spunding valve on the fermzilla gas post? Just saw someone saying it goes on the liquid which doesn't sound right
Gas post only... who ever said that is a troll or very very confused. Cheers
@@HomeBrewNetwork haha I thought so but couldn't find any doco or second opinions. Thanks for clearing that up
"I always like to pull out" - ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
I've set mine for the first time but it keeps rising...I even tried to get the right level with a bottle and a carb cap..
Try again mate, there is no better spunding valve, Cheers!
Once you got your pressure reading to 9psi did you completely close the valve????
Nope left it at 9psi, for the ferment. Cheers
The Home Brew Network oh I see. First time using the blowtie or any kind of spunding valve so I was a bit lost. So once fermentation starts and pressure begins to build, the blowtie will release any pressure needed to maintain the 9psi. Hope I’m correct in saying that?

It was from Kegland, I just sent them an email asking about it, I'll let you know mate. Cheers
