I've have run this set up twice already on my new 58L kegmenter and couldn't be happier. No wandering pressure like everyone was afraid of. Set and forget works perfect. PS; I use longer hose then what you have set up on your store. Too short a hose and the Duo Tights will leak.
I am really glad I started researching the difference between these two options ... The less accurate pressurization probably wouldn’t make much of a difference; but still if you have an option for something more accurate (without a great deal more cost). Why not?
Looks Good - so in addition to the blowtie valve - need some tubing, a gas disconnect with a tube fitting and a T connector... Is that it - also not sure about the connection from the the gauge to the 'T' piece ... ( Oh I just looked on your web page and you already explain this) :)
If i have this setup in the fully open position just to let CO2 out while fermenting, is there a possibility that air can comme in once active fermentation is over and there are temperature fluctuations? Or is there a mechanism in place that prohibits air from going in no matter what?
If you have the blowtie fully open then it's possible that air can move in both directions. If you want to prevent this it's best to have at least a very low pressure set on the device so you can be confident that air doesntget into the fermenter.
Can the ball lock spunding valve be retrofitted with the blowtie valve? As mentioned in the video, the ball lock type leaks and my test proved it didn't hold low pressure for an overnight period.
Just using this for the first time and struggling to keep pressure from rising. Open the valve until i get to my desired PSI (10) then wind it back until stop hearing the hissing. In time, i hear the hissing very loudly and i assume this the unit doing its thing but i also note the pressure keeps rising. Am i missing something?
Yes if you have a very active fermentation the pressure will increase but then return back to the 10psi set pressure when it slows down. You have nothing to worry about if this happens
I was already planning on buying one but still want to mention this is such a good video.
Thanks you! Cheers.
Good of you guys to take the time to explain this to us, thank you.
Thanks Phil. We are working on a new tri-clover model too that is easier to take apart and clean.
Another good explanation of something technical. Thanks. I am going to get one of these.

Great to hear. Hope you are getting some good beer out of it!
What size is the tubing? I have really short pieces
