Are you using a low pressure gauge to dial into 1-2 PSI or just using your normal kegging gauge & just barely opening for minimal CO2? Normally I'd think a low pressure gauge would be necessary but maybe not in this case with the way the hose fitting into the barb (so with too much CO2 it'd just pop off).

I tried this today, but after a short time the flow just stopped. All that happened with more pressure was CO2 out the seals of the bucket. Keg relief is open, checked for blocks in racking tap, dip tube, liquid out post. I'm stumped. The only thing I can think of is that the pressure of the first few litres in the keg is now too great to fill more via the dip tube. Any tips?
@edgehillbrewing64525 жыл бұрын
SolitaryBee the flow rate definitely slows once the keg becomes fuller, but I haven’t had it stop. I’d think it would be a blockage somewhere. I get them sometimes in the poppets. You could also try having your bucket much higher than the keg. I’ve filled kegs by gravity before without issue.

Provided the pressure in the fermenter is slightly higher than the keg and both are higher than the outside atmosphere the co2 in the keg will be forced out as the beer fills the keg and oxygen will be unable to enter as the relief valve acts as a vent

SS Brewtech suggests to make some pretty drastic alterations to your lid if you want to do pressurized transfers. They seem to have some big warnings about doing the pressure transfer via the blow off barb. Do you think it's all just to cover their ass and to get you to buy more stuff? What sort of PSI do you think you need to get the transfer going?
@edgehillbrewing64527 жыл бұрын
Yeah I would guess they are covering themselves, but there could be decent damage or injury if the bucket was pressurized too much. It only takes 1 or 2 psi to get the beer flowing and by just pressing the CO2 line into the bard, it would pop out if pressure go too high. If the CO2 line was connected with a hose clamp or something more permanent, that could lead to some trouble. I am comfortable with this method, but I guess pressure transfer at your own risk.
