This video will walk you through pressurized transfers using your Chronical series fermenter.
Transferring beer with CO2 is fast and efficient
but proper setup is and operation is critical for successful transfers and for safety
You'll need the following components
to assemble your low pressure beer pushing system
a 1/4" NPT brass T fitting
a 1/4" NPT to 1/4" hose barb
a 1-1/2" tri-clamp to 1/4" male NPT fitting
a low pressure gauge
either digital or analog will work
about 4 feet of gas hose
and a couple worm clamps or oetiker clamps.
It is important to note that you cannot
accurately determine the pushing pressure with
a gauge that has a 60psi maximum reading.
Once you have all your components
wrap the male ends of your 1/4" fittings with teflon tape.
Next, assemble the T by installing the hose barb,
the tri-clamp fitting and your pressure gauge.
Once your T with the low pressure gauge is assembled
we can get the hose ready to attach.
On one end, we connected a barbed swivel nut.
This will allow us to connect to our current 0 to 60 psi regulator
On the other end, we clamped our new T assembly with our low pressure gauge.
This completes the build of our low pressure
beer pushing system.
Next, we'll walk through installing and using it.
Begin by taking the swivel nut end of the hose
and attaching it to your regulator.
Once attached, turn on the CO2 and set the pressure
disconnected from your fermenter.
With the CO2 line disconnected from the Chronical
use your finger to plug the outlet.
With the outlet plugged, carefully adjust the regulator
as close to 2psi as possible.
Release some CO2 the replug it again.
Do this several times to confirm the pressure gauge returns to 2psi.
Please note that if you pressure the fermenter beyond 5psi
you will damage the unit
and possibly create an unsafe situation.
When filming this video
we found that pushing beer at 1.3psi was plenty.
