Food Grade Elbow For Inside Bottling Bucket

[Viperboy]

I have a bottling bucket and spigot that came with my deluxe kit from Northern Brewer. I am looking to get a food grade elbow or something to just push fit on the inside of the spigot to get as much out while bottling without having to tip. What does everyone else use that have this bucket/spigot combo? What size fitting do I need? I tried to search around, but couldn't find anything on it.

Thanks.

 

[Hello]

People just use a PVC elbow. I think Williams brewing sells something food grade though.

There's a thread somewhere on here about making your own from the sh*tty racking cane that comes with most homebrew kits (assuming you have upgraded to an autosiphon or something else, otherwise it isn't so sh*tty ). I'll try to find it for you

I use a standard pvc elbow. It is made to carry water to my faucet why not beer into a bottle.

I just used a 90' PVC like this:

Works great!

Thanks guys! So masskrug it looks like you replace the nut on the inside of the bucket with the elbow to clamp down on the gasket?

You're probably looking for this. Comes from Williams Brewing. I have one and it works great. Food-grade nylon.

My home supply store did not have the PVC elbow, so I had to solder this together today. Works like a champ! I should have made this years ago. Thanks to Revvy for the idea.

I just use a regular PVC elbow and nipple. Push nipple into back side of spigot, push elbow onto nipple. Contact time in the bottling bucket is so short and temps are so low, i cant imagine that you get measurable leaching of chemicals from the PVC

Thank you! That is exactly what I am looking for. Does anyone know if this fits the spigot on the bottling bucket from NB?

I have two spigots, purchased at different times. This fits on both. I'd assume they are all a standard size.

Maybe buy 2, and another spigot, and go 2-handed like I did:

I got s cpvc elbow with threads in one end at HD. It threads right on the the spigot instead of the nut that came with it. I had to trim the down side just a bit so there is about 1/16" clearance off the bottom. Less than $1. irrc. It pulls out all but about 1 oz of the primed beer.

Thanks for closing the loop. That's somewhat rare round here.
