More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Includes 12 White Silicone GROMMETS to fit any brand Mason jar plastic caps (1/16″ groove). The Grommet easily inserts into a 9/16″ lid hole (a 1/2″ hole may be too tight and a 5/8″ hole may cause a loose fit for the grommet). The Grommet center hole is 3/8″ and is the standard size for Fermentation Airlocks. PLEASE DO NOT ORDER FOR GLASS LIDS ~ THE 1/16″ GROOVE IS TOO NARROW FOR GLASS LIDS. ALL QRP products are USDA Food Grade BPA-free Compliant and are produced by a reputable food container manufacturer. 2019 Quality Reliable Products, All Rights Reserved.


 

Use to add an airlock port to a container of your choosing.  I know of several grommet offerings, most don’t claim to be food grade.  That’s probably not a big deal considering that most of the time this gets little to no contact with your beer.  Having said that, it’s nice to have a food grade option.

Hands on Review: Kegland BlowTie Spunding Valve

BlowTie v2 w/Gauge that has been updated to digital, see below for walk through of that process.

Updated: January 7, 2025

A Spunding Valve allows you to maintain a set pressure. If pressure in the vessel exceeds the set point, it is expelled. It generally consists of an adjustable PRV valve, a tee, a gauge and a way to connect to your keg.

Why a Spunding Valve?

There are loads of homebrew related applications for a Spunding valve ranging from pressurized fermentation to naturally carbonating to fixing over carbonated beers and lots more.  Check out our resource post on the subject.  It’s arguably the go-to resource on the Internet on the subject

BowTie v1 Assembly

BlowTie v1 & v2!

This review covers both the original v1 Kegland v1 BlowTie & v2. Both are DuoTight compatible. The biggest difference is v2 has an integrated gauge, where v1 required an add-on gauge.

But first, more about DuoTight!

Kegland’s DuoTight Fittings are designed to work with EVABarrier Double Wall Tubing.  They offer quick, reliable connections, easy implementation, a variety of fitting options and feature amazing versatility.  They’re also, generally speaking, very well priced.  DuoTights are push to connect fittings and require no tubing clamps.

Brennan Industries 1/4″ Male NPT to 1/4″ Female Flare + Build a Spunding Valve How & Why

XL Extra Large 3 Piece Airlock (holds 50% more sanitizer) – $1.99 + Free Ship Eligible, Limited Availability

extra large xl fermenter airlock

Airlock – 3 Piece (XL) via MoreBeer

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

This oversized 3-piece airlock can hold 50% more water or sanitizer so your airlock is less likely to evaporate dry or get sucked dry. When the temperature drops, your fermenter will suck in solution from the airlock, and if the temperature drop is significant the airlock can be completely emptied. An empty airlock opens the door for airborne spoilants to make their way into your fermenter unchecked. The extra large 3-piece airlock offers your fermenter even more protection, and is especially useful when cold crashing.

While a simple device not all airlocks are the same. Some other designs have only a couple holes in the plastic lid and this can cause the airlock to pop out during an active fermentation. Just like our normally sized airlock, our design features many holes in the lid that allow CO2 to escape easily. Additionally some other airlocks have a cross hatch design on the bottom while our is open to allow Krausen foam to enter the airlock if necesary. Better to clean your airlock out than to find it laying on the floor next to your fermenter 3 days later.

Another cool feature of this 3-piece airlock is that 1/2″ ID tubing will fit onto the center post for use as a blowoff. This can be handy if you have a really active ferment that is blowing out the top of your fermenter.

Please Note: Airlock only – stopper not included.

Kegland DuoTight Inline Secondary with Gauge! control each keg separately & more – on sale for $15.99

DUOTIGHT IN-LINE REGULATOR WITH GAUGE

Duotight Regulator with Gauge via Great Fermentations

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

This 8mm Duotight compatible regulator with 0-60 PSI gauge fits 8mm outer diameter EvaBarrier tubing. Suitable for gas, all components are food grade. The included gauge is accurate to plus or minus 6 PSI.

Note: This unit comes with a 0-60 PSI gauge that is only ¾” in diameter. If you intend to use this regulator in the 10 to 30 PSI range, you will need to order optional gauge C93, which reads 0-30 PSI. Below 10 psi, this regulator is not very accurate. You will also need EvaBarrier tubing to connect this regulator, either our item number Z91 or Z92.

This is perfect for reducing the pressure of one gas line in a draft system – for example, with a single regulator and C02 bottle, you can set the pressure at the C02 bottle with the larger regulator (not included) and then put this regulator inline to reduce the pressure. Handy for when you want to carbonate one keg at 25 PSI and dispense another at 10 PSI.
