BlowTie Diaphragm Spunding Valve V2

£8.95

BlowTie Diaphragm Spunding Valve with Integrated dial - V2

This Kit Includes:

  • 1 x Blow Tie Spunding Valve V2 ONLY

ALSO AVAILABLE AS A KIT FOR EASY CONNECTION TO FERMZILLA / KEG

Previously the Blowtie has been one of the most popular and reliable spunding valves in the market.  Many customers used this spunding valve in combination with the FermZilla pressure rated fermenters or KegMenters.

Due to the popularity of the Blowtie we decided to make a new "Blowtie 2" and this new upgarded model has integrated pressure gauge.

This awesome compact solution for adjusting residual pressure in your fermenter makes pressure control easier than it's ever been.  This can be used for compressed air, CO2, nitrogen, mains water supply and many other things but it's primary use is to control the residual pressure inside fermenters.

The unit is made from food grade engineering plastic, stainless steel and quality made EPDM seals. 

The design utilizes the reliability of the KegLand patented duotight o-ring system to make sure you can fit hoses to this unit quickly and with leak free connections.

 

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.

Pressure Transfers
When transferring from keg to keg, keg to bottle, or fermenter to keg it's often a good idea to have head pressure in the keg you are filling into especially if you are transferring a beverage that is carbonated. For this reason the BlowTie can consistenly control this head pressure giving you more consistent results and without losing carbonation in the process.

Traditional spunding valves that use a simple spring against a seal are flawed right from the beginning as the physical aspects of the design dictate that you will have a significant difference between the opening pressure and closing pressure during opperation.  Brewers have tolerated this imperfection for long enough and now you can control these pressures far more accurately.

The BlowTie has been made completely differently taking advantage of a diaphragm to actuate the sealing mechanism that will release pressure from the pressure vessel with much more accurate control pressure.

Instructions:
Use the yellow adjustment knob to control the pressure coming out of the pressure vessel.  Clockwise is higher pressure and anticlockwise is lower pressure.
We would recommend gassing a keg to a known pressure e.g. 15psi then attach your Blow Tie Kit to the keg and adjust to 10psi.

 

NOTE: These small guages enable the regulator to be so compact however for more accurate pressures readings we recommend getting different guages to suit the pressure range you want to use.

These guages are accurate to about 10% of the range of the pressure gauge.  So if you use the lowest range possible it will ensure the best possible accuracy.

If you are looking for a compact digital gauge with backlight illumination SEE OUR OTHER LISTING.

IMPORTANT WARNING: Do not exceed gauge pressure.  If you set a gauge pressure higher than the graduations on the gauge you can damage the gauge.  (ie if you are using the 0-60psi gauge. Do not set pressure above 60psi or damage to the gauge may occur.

This video will give  you some information on how the Blowtie 2 works and how to mount it.  The video also covers the inline regualtor at the same time. 

The inline requlator is also available on the BKT website

Brewing frequently asked questions

How long does it take to brew beer?

The time it takes to brew beer can vary, but on average, the process takes about 4 to 6 weeks. This includes the various stages such as malting, mashing, boiling, fermenting, conditioning, and bottling. However, some beer styles may require longer aging periods for optimal flavor development.

Is home brewing worth it?

Many people find home brewing to be a rewarding and enjoyable hobby, allowing them to create unique and customised beers. It provides a deeper understanding of the brewing process and offers the opportunity to experiment with different ingredients and styles. Additionally, home brewing can be cost-effective in the long run compared to purchasing craft beers. However, it requires time, effort, and a certain level of commitment. Whether it's worth it ultimately depends on one's passion for brewing and the satisfaction derived from the process and the end product.

Is home brewing legal?

Home brewing for personal use is generally legal, and there is no need for a specific license as long as certain conditions are met. Home brewers are allowed to produce beer, wine, and cider for personal consumption. However, there are limits on the amount that can be brewed without a license. As of January 2022, the limits were 100 litres for beer and 100 litres for wine per household.

It's important to stay informed about any updates or changes in the regulations, so it's advisable to check with local authorities or brewing associations for the most current information regarding home brewing laws in the UK. Always ensure that you comply with the relevant regulations and guidelines to enjoy home brewing within the legal framework.
