The Blow Tie Spunding Valve is used to release excess pressure on a pressurized fermenter or from a keg while doing pressure transfers. Thanks to the large surface area of the diaphragm, this style spunding valve is much more accurate than the poppet style. 8 mm Duotight fittings at both inlet and outlet make this unit perfect for use with EVABarrier 8 mm OD tubing (D1717 or D1718).
The BlowTie 2 features an integrated pressure gauge so you can quickly and easily dial in your pressure setting. The analog gauge is removable and can be swapped out with a gauge of a different pressure range or it can be swapped out for the Digital Mini Pressure Gauge.
Specifications:
Made from food grade acetal
Stainless screws
Easily disassembles for cleaning
8mm (5/16") Duotight fittings at both ends
Interchangeable pressure gauge
Gauge reads from 0-15 psi
WARNING: Do not exceed gauge pressure. Exceeding the pressure range will damage the gauge.

Plastic quick disconnects for ball lock Cornelious-type kegs.Gray quick disconnects are used for the gas in tank plug.1/4 inch male flare (MFL) threaded fittings make it easy to connect a variety of hardware pieces and connectors. MFL fittings are more versatile than barbed fitting, but they must be tightened down properly or they can leak. Barbed fittings are also available.
We love these keg lids as either a replacement or an upgrade to the stock lid featured on many homebrew kegs. Most homebrew kegs feature a straight, parallel bale that sits extemely close to the lid when in the closed position. So close that it can be hard to get a finger or two under the bale to open it. The arms on this lid bend outward creating a nice, easy-to-grip handle to open and close the bale.
For use with Torpedo, Cornelius, and Firestone kegs. Comes with a pull-ring pressure relief valve and o-ring. PRV rated to 85 psi.

EVABarrier double wall tubing is an excellent choice for all draft dispensing applications. The inner barrier is an excellent gas barrier, keeping oxygen out and CO2 in. The inner wall is also extremely smooth to prevent bacteria and other microbes from attaching to the inside surface. The outer barrier gives the tubing a decent stiffness while still remaining pliable. This makes EVA Barrier remarkably kink resistant and the perfect choice for use with Duotight, John Guest, and other push-in fittings.
The 5 mm (13/64") ID size is perfect for draft applications where a longer beverage line is needed. We recommend using 10-12 ft. per line for adequate flow resistance.
Specifications:
Inner Diameter - 5 mm (13/64")
Outer Diameter - 8 mm (5/16")
12 m Roll (39 ft.)
PVC, BPA , and Plasticizer Free*
Outer wall prevents oxidation and CO2 loss
Smooth inner wall prevents microbial growth build-up
*EVABarrier does not contain plasticizers, or phthalates, that are used to make PVC flexible. These plasticizers are known to leach out into the beer over time and have adverse health effects.

Powered by Quiescent Flow Technology™, this revolutionary bottle filler eliminates the complicated and time-consuming operation of traditional counter-pressure fillers while maintaining their primary functions—purging with CO2, preventing oxygen pickup, and filling with minimal foaming and carbonation loss. Pair that with its auto-fill level and ability to fill bottles of any depth without modification, and the BeerGun® becomes a clear standout.
Key features include:
One-handed, intuitive operation
Simpler operation than counter-pressure fillers
Easy to set up and clean
Everything that touches your beer is stainless steel
Low-foaming outputs
Great for kegs or bottling buckets
Works for wine-makers
The BeerGun® takes aim at the common problems of counter-pressure fillers and offers one-of-a-kind solutions powered by our patented Quiescent Flow Technology™.
Turbulence and sudden changes in pressure can create unwanted foaming. The unique design of Blichmann's BeerGun® gradually reduces beer from keg pressure to atmospheric pressure with little turbulence and provides a consistent bottle fill level every time. While competitors place their valves at the top of the filler and force beer down an empty tube each time, we've placed our non-throttling, quick-acting valve at the bottom of the BeerGun® so it is quickly immersed in the beer, keeps the stem full, and reduces pressure changes and turbulence.
These features plus the CO2 jacketing tube for bottle purging and ergonomic valve actuators make filling bottles faster, easier, and more precise.

Pressure Fermentation Pressure fermentation is becoming more and more popular at the homebrew level, but in order to do it safely and accurately, you need a way to release excess pressure. You'll pressurize your vessel to your desired psi, but once fermentation begins and those hungry, active yeast start creating CO2, the pressure inside the vessel will increase. Attach a spunding valve and set it to your desired pressure, and it will blow off when the pressure gets to high and close up again when it's back to your desired psi. Pressure Transfers Even if you don't have a pressurizable fermenter, you may have done pressure transfers from keg to keg during filtering or after fining. During pressure transfers, it's a good idea to have a bit of head pressure in the receiving keg, especially if you're transferring beer that is already carbonated. Having a spunding valve in place will allow you to consistently control the head pressure and give you more consistent results, without losing carbonation in the process. Diaphragm vs. Poppet With the poppet style spunding valve, a spring pushes against a poppet to keep the valve closed. When the poppet lifts up to open, the surface area the gas pushes against becomes larger, and the spring has to work harder to push the poppet down and reseal the valve. This can lead to more gas being released than intended, and the remaining pressure in your vessel may be at a lower psi than your spunding valve’s set psi. Instead of a poppet, the spring inside the BlowTie pushes against a diaphragm, which has an immensely larger surface area. This means the surface area that the gas pushes against while the diaphragm is closed is significantly closer to the surface area it pushes against when the diaphragm is open. This leads to higher accuracy, and the remaining pressure after excess gas is released will be much closer to your set blow off pressure.
With this complete kit you'll be ready to use the BlowTie Spunding Valve right out of the box.
