I see the spending coming off of the keg, but what is the attachment exiting the fermenter? Filter?I can't say which is best, but I use a blichmann tri clamp spunding valve on my flex+ and love it. No complaints.
At more than double the cost, it had better work better. But, it's also a more complicated setup.SPUNDit 2.0 works far better than Blowtie

That pic is actually two spunding valves. There's a blichmann on the fermenter I use during fermentation and then the blowtie on the keg I use during transfer (1psi differential between fermenter and keg)I see the spending coming off of the keg, but what is the attachment exiting the fermenter?

Links to the filter housing and filters you use if you would be so kind.That pic is actually two spunding valves. There's a blichmann on the fermenter I use during fermentation and then the blowtie on the keg I use during transfer (1psi differential between fermenter and keg)
And yeah, that giant monstrosity off the fermenter is a filter. Works GREAT. I love it.

Do you remember where you found that elbow fitting that attaches to the lid? I am looking to make a similar setup. ThanksI have both the first and second gen Blowtie setups. I like the second gen better due to it having the gauge integrated into it. More compact and easier to dial in.
I have added fittings so that I can hang a small [plastic] jar off the end partially filled with StarSan for it to bubble into. Makes it easier to tell that CO2 is coming out.
In the past I tried other setups and they were iffy at best. The ones that had the valve where you screwed the end in/out were difficult to get dialed into the desired setting. I gave up on trying it until I learned about the Blowtie product(s). Simply put, these work really well.

Not in use since I went to conical fermenters and using the SS Brewtech spunding item (with the graduations/marks). Made more sense to use the TC connected item over something I'd need to connect to the gas manifold on the conical. Not sure if I'll ever use the Blowtie ever again in fact. I have the original and second version setup too. Replaced the vinyl tubing with stainless so it doesn't droop. Last time I used it was to vent the yeast brink during a harvest. Not sure if I'll do that again or not.@Golddiggie Perfect, thanks buddy. How is the entire blow tie setup holding up?
Thanks for the feedback. I just placed an order for the blow tie v2. I'm planning to ferment and serve out of the same corny keg using a floating dip tube. I'll use a blow off tube for first few days of fermentation then once it slows down, switch to blow tie until ready to fully carb/serve. I bought some anti-foam to be safe.Not in use since I went to conical fermenters and using the SS Brewtech spunding item (with the graduations/marks).

I use one too, for the first time, and to make sure all goes well and dont overpressure I connected my older spunding valve I made of corny kegs(connected it on the blichman gas post). It has bigger gas gauge that came from a regulator. Anyhow before I digress here the old valve reads 10psi while the new blinchmann reads 2 psi. I am concerned something is really wrong with the gauge from blichmanns. I will open the blichmanns up once this batch is done but there is something going on here.I love my Blichmann tri clamp; control is excellent. Use it on a Spike CF10
