Leaking Fermentap Counter Pressure Bottle Filler KEG801

[Larsen]

Hi

Maybe it's just me, but i coldn't figure out, how to fix the filler that was leaking co2 when the valve was closed, with the result that beer decorated the basement ceiling...

Here's what Andrew Conlon at Morebeer replied:

The ball valve can come loose in shipping. It can be tightened either on the top nut above the ball valve with a wrench or if you remove the barbed fittings, there is an allen wrench-able hex hole inside the ball valve to stop the leaking.

the allen wrench, did the job.

Now you all know..

Happy brewing

Hi again

I brew 150 liters pr batch, and I had to adjust the fillers for every 150 - 200 bottles, which was very anoing...

So i build this prototype, of stainless solenoids, schwitces, tubing and a Coca Cola plastic box. It's actually still doing a fine job.

I circulate with PBW in 65C water, and rinse and sanitize it with a flush and 20 min. circulation with 80C hot water.

no more adjusting...

The solenoids don't cause foaming in the beer?
