Parts list/links for building spunding valves

[Feurhund]

All stainless and the adapter is from Brewhardware http://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/ffltomnpt.htm

Very nice. Thanks for pointing that one out. Slick solution!

Can't take credit. All the parts were previous in the thread. I found the stainless 1/4 coupler on Amazon.

I built a spundenapparat to spund 1-3 keg at once sine I brew 40-60l. Since this picture I have changed some gaslines to longer ones but the idea is the same.

I've had some problems with beer finding its way thru the valve even though I've shortened the gas pipes to 0.5 cm and remove about 1l of beer as soon as there is preassure in the keg. With beer in the preassure release valve it gets sticky and can get stuck with higher than needed carbonation, even though I ran a couple of dl of star san thru it.

Anybody had problems with the morebeer stainless relief valves? I got 3 and none will even hold the specified psi.

Eventually, everyone will end up with the spring-loaded design.

The de-facto standard bunging pressure regulator (Spundapparat) is made by also known as "". It's a bit pricey but it is 100% stainless steel and can be reconditioned.

A version is available for home-brewers, the "" -- after 7 years of cold fermenting and bunging, I've finally settled on these. Yes, they cost money but they are guaranteed to last a life-time and are extraordinarily reliable to operate. They come in a variety of orientations, gauge-ranges and connectors as well.

For those wanting cheap, the generally available PRV's will do -- at the expense of a lot of known issues (wait until they get a few years old -- horrid, never mind the mess on the floor as liquids or yeast are expelled). Here is my old setup

For those who are looking for a quality one-time investment, I cannot recommend the Piccolino enough.
