From HBF: Make sure the components you use are compatible and rated for your intended application. Contact manufacturer with questions about suitability or a specific application. Always read and follow manufacturer directions.

Of course you could use these fittings in lots of different applications. One possible application is a Spunding Valve build. A Spunding Valve [See: Spunding Valve Resource Post] allows you to ferment under pressure, naturally and precisely carbonate in the keg, fix over-carbonated beers and more. A similar (different manufacturer and possibly specs) fitting and barb are featured in our “Cheapest” Spunding Valve Build Option

Hands on Review: BrewBuilt Uni Conical Fermenter! + Limited Time DEAL

This review is by Homebrew Finds Contributor Brad Probert. Brad is an engineer, expert homebrewer and experienced reviewer. Grab a link to Brad’s website at the end of this review.

Updated: 7/23/2024

BrewBuild Uni+ Conical Fermentor

Fermentors are like the cars of the brewing world. There is a wide range of prices, appearances, and features. And just like cars, the most basic model (plastic bucket with a lid) will get the job done. But the basic model has limitations, and you soon find yourself eyeballing the next step up the fermentor food chain to either get one that’s flashier (stainless) or one that has more features (pressure fermentation capable). Of course, the ultimate is one that’s both shiny and has more features (stainless pressure-capable conical).

Fermentor Before Any Assembly

BrewBuilt is a division of MoreBeer that creates homebrew gear. They make a variety of products, and recently launched a series of stainless pressure-capable conical fermentors they call the X1 Uni. The X1 comes with a lot of different accessories for added features, depending on what you want. You can buy the add-ons piecemeal, or they come bundled into different hardware kits. There is the base X1 Uni, the X1 Uni+ that bundles some add-ons and temperature capabilities, and the X1 Uni Pro that also includes a heat pad, Peltier cooler, and a temperature controller.

Limited Time Deal!

MoreBeer has a limited time Summer Sale going on. The x2 Uni is included in the mix!

DuoTight Compatible Plastic Carbonation & Line Cleaning Ball Lock Caps – on sale for $5.99

Molded Carbonation & Cleaning Cap via William’s Brewing

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

This molded male ball lock valve coupling cap that fits a 2 liter or smaller plastic soda bottle with a 28mm screw cap lid. This allows the 2 liter bottle to be charged with C02 from any female ball lock gas fitting (like our item D32 or D03 Gas Connector), carbonating the cold beverage in the bottle. Great for serving draft beer away from the keg. Also fits the Brewzilla in and out ports on the lid, and the Brewzilla Collection Jar ports for pressurizing the Brewzilla fermenter. The hose barb on the bottom is also compatible with our DuoTight fitting Z84 and C55 which lets you easily attach a ball lock fitting to an EvaBarrier 8mm or 9mm outer diameter line.

This has a hybrid ball lock post that will accept beer and gas lines.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING: FOR USE ON PLASTIC SODA BOTTLES AND BREWZILLA ONLY, NEVER USE ON GLASS BOTTLES

What are these used for?

PET Bottles as Growlers: These are generally intended to convert 1L and 2L bottles to growlers. Fill up a 1L or 2L PET bottle with your favorite homebrew. Put one of these on (purge the headspace by squeezing if you want to) and then pressurize for transport. This should help to reduce oxygen pickup and maintain carbonation levels.
Fine tune or rapidly carbonate beer: You can also use this cap to rapidly carbonate beer. Same process as for transport, just set your regulator to the proper pressure and shake or agitate the PET bottle to help introduce CO2. Or hook it up to CO2 and let it sit in you kegerator.
Flushing Carboys, Fermenters and Kegs – As a piece of tubing the barb, hook to your CO2 line and use this to flush receiving vessels with CO2 to reduce O2 pickup.
Draft Line Cleaning Projects: I have developed two draft line cleaning projects using similar (but different) caps – Build A Recirculating Draft Line Cleaning Pump | Mark II Keg and Carboy Cleaner Draft Line Cleaning Pump Conversion | My Simple Draft Line Flushing Buil

Stainless Steel 3/4″ to 1/2″ Reducer for Center Inlet Chugger Pumps

Stainless Steel Reducing Coupler for Chugger Center Pumps

More Info

Highlighted Features

3/4" FPT tp 1/2" MPT
Hex nut for easy secure fit
304 stainless steel
Fits Chugger center pumps
Reduces size from 3/4" to 1/2 standard

Learn More

1/2″ fittings seem to be pretty standard for homebrewers. Center inlet Chugger Pumps are a little different compared to most high temp homebrew pumps with regards to fittings. Most homebrew pumps are 1/2″ NPT threads on both the “in” side and the “out” side. The center inlet pump is 1/2″ NPT on the “out” side and 3/4″ NPT on the inlet side. Some people want this to be 1/2″ also, so a fitting is required.

This fitting is nice because it is female to male. A lot of ball valves are female, so this would allow you put a female threaded ball valve on without the aid of another fitting.

1/2″ Stainless Steel CIP Spray Ball

Tank Cleaning Ball,Tank Cleaning Head 1Pc 1/2″Bsp Thread Female Stainless Steel Sanitary Fix/Rotarys Spray Ball Tank Cleaning Ball

More Info

CIP (Clean in Place) Spray Balls are generally used for vessels that are too large to move. Since they’re too large to move you… clean them in place. If you have a larger setup, you could incorporate these into your system or routine to help clean your vessels more easily.

Other possible homebrew applications: A CIP ball could be as part of a recirculating or sparging setup or as part of a keg or carboy cleaning setup. I use a (different model) rotary spray ball with my Mark II Keg and Carboy Cleaner. See: Mark II Keg and Carboy Washer Mod – SS CIP Spray Ball. Make sure the components you use are compatible and rated for your intended application. Contact manufacturer with questions about suitability or a specific application.

Stainless Steel Cornelius Keg Lid with 1.5″ Tri-Clamp Ferrule + Build a Corny Keg Dry Hopper!

Corny Keg Lid, Oval Ball Lock Keg Attachment, Cornelius Tri-Clamp Keg Lid with 1.5″ TC Ferrule, Attach Dry Hopper, Stainless Steel Sanitary Fitting, for Homebrew, Beer Kegging, Dry-Hopping

More Info

Highlighted Features

🍺Perfect for brewing and dry-hopping: Use the 1.5" TC ferrule of this oval keg fitting as a port, for example, to easily add hops to secondary fermentation by connecting a dry hopper. The welded flange also allows for the attachment of other TC fittings like elbow tubes, sight windows, or clamp tees – take your homebrewing setup to the next level!
🍺Fits Corny kegs snugly: Made of 304 stainless steel and equipped with a strong, thick silicone gasket, this replacement lid fits snugly onto any kind of homebrew, ball lock, or soda keg that boasts an oval opening.
🍺Easy installation: Installing this replacement cap is as easy as drinking beer: Simply slide the Cornelius keg lid into the opening of your beer or soda keg and push down the lid clamp – no screwdriver or wrench necessary.
🍺Avoid excess pressure: For your safety and to avoid excess pressure, this keg cover comes with an integrated pressure relief valve. Simply pull out the valve ring and the gas inside the keg will escape immediately. Also, if the pressure exceeds 60 PSI the valve will release gas automatically.
🍺Get a spare O-ring: It is common for gaskets to get damaged after a while due to the constant pressure they are under. Thankfully, this set includes a spare tri-clamp silicone washer which you can use as a replacement to prevent any leaks around your TC connections.

This can be used to convert a compatible Cornelius style keg to Tri-Clamp. That has a number of potential applications including using for dry hopping. See the project below for more on that.

Hands on Review: Kegland DuoTight Ball Lock QDs

Updated: 6/15/2024

Kegland’s DuoTight Fittings are designed to work with EVABarrier Double Wall Tubing. They offer quick, reliable connections, easy implementation, a variety of fitting options and feature amazing versatility. They’re also, generally speaking, very well priced. DuoTights are push to connect fittings and require no tubing clamps.

DuoTights are… awesome. Check out my extensive Hands on Review

When DuoTights first came out, the solution for connecting kegs to EVABarrier was using an MFL QD + DuoTight Flare fitting. That works just fine and is still the only option available to pin lock keg users.

Ball Lock keg users now have a native DuoTight option. Here’s a hands on look!

Hands on Review: Brewers Hardware Quick Clean Take-Apart Ball Valves + Limited Time DEAL on PFD Take-Apart Ball Valves

This review is by Homebrew Finds Contributor Brad Probert. Brad is an engineer, expert homebrewer and experienced reviewer. Grab a link to Brad’s website at the end of this review.

Brewers Hardware Take-Apart Ball Valve

Up until now, I’ve known of two types of ball valves- 2-piece and 3-piece. The key difference between them being that the 3-piece can be disassembled for full cleaning. When I first started buying gear, I figured I’d go for the 3-piece because the idea of being able to take it apart and clean it sounded like something I should probably do. After seeing the complications of needing to use 2 wrenches at a time, while holding the body of the valve stable, I quickly concluded my 3-piece valves would never experience the joy of a ‘deep cleaning’.

Kegland’s DuoTight system along with their EVABarrier Tubing are amazing. Check out my extensive hands on review for a deep dive into the system.

This is a look at Kegland Rigid Joiners, part number KL18012.

These are designed to easily join DuoTight fittings together without using EVABarrier tubing. That’s handy for close connections and if… gasp, you aren’t a DuoTight/EVABarrier user. The rigid joiners allow you to put DuoTight parts and pieces together without purchasing an entire roll of EVABarrier.

Rigid Joiners, part number KL18012. To my knowledge these are available in 8mm only. I’d venture a guess that this is the most common size.
