What is a Bunging/Spunding valve used for?

For Tiantai beer fermenters, it is a pressure beer fermentation tank. Some breweries asked bunging/Spunding valve for beer fermentors, but some breweries don’t know it. As a professional beer brewing system manufacturer, let’s introduce more about bunging/Spunding valve according to the following aspects:

1.What’s a Bunging/Spunding valve?
Pressure relief valves are used on process vessels to maintain a fixed pressure within the tank, with any excess gasses produced during the process to be safely vented. A sub-set of the gas pressure relief valve is called a bunging valve.

2.What is a Bunging/Spunding valve used for?

A device called a spunding valve is attached to our tanks late in fermentation, when most of the sugars in the wort have been processed by our yeast. The spunding valve carefully controls the release of CO2 keeping the tank, keeping the tank pressurized and producing a desired effervescence and mouthfeel

3.Do I need a Bunging/Spunding valve?
If you ferment inside a corny keg, you will need a spunding valve to release the pressure as the yeast go about their job eating up sugar and producing CO2. A spunding valve is made up of a pressure gauge and a pressure release valve held together with a myriad of connectors.
4.What pressure should I set my Bunging/Spunding valve?
Sanitise caps and posts, remove spunding valve from your fermenter and attach it to the gas post on your keg, and attach your CO2 bottle to the gas post on your fermenter. Finally attach the transfer line, liquid out to liquid in on the keg. The spunding valve should be set to around 12-15PSI from fermentation.

Hope it makes sense for you. If you are looking for beer equipment like grist miller machine, brewhouse, beer fermentation tanks, bright beer tanks, glycol cooling unit, brewery control cabinet, CIP cleaning unit etc. to expand your current brewery to microbrewery or commercial brewery, or you want to build your own new brewery, brewpub, please feel free to ask us. Tiantai is your honest brewery builder!
