This really handy device is great for filling kegs, keg to keg transfers or fermenter to keg transfers.
Fantastic for use with Fermentasaurus or other pressure rated fermenters.
Simply attach this device to the output gas post of your Keg then when the keg is full it will prevent further liquid exiting the gas post. This means you can literally set and forget and fill kegs automatically without the risk of kegs overflowing all over the floor.
That scene at the end where it’s barely not done up and the sani goes everywhere seems pretty consistent with how transfers often go for me 😂
Love the blooper. 😝
One thing that should be mentioned is this completely fills the keg. Many people don't like to do this so there is no chance of beer going up the gas line. Obviously a non return valve can alleviate this.
Another thing I'd like to add is you can pretty much set up the same thing with two kegs or a fementer and keg with out this little unit. Just set one higher than the other, join beer post to beer post, gas to gas and it'll syphon itself. Yes it is a little slow but you can just walk away and let it do it itself. Plus is uses NO GAS. Yes this can be good for filling kegs quicker with an auto shut off but if you want it quick then you're there with the keg anyway.
Thanks for that extra tip Josh.
Also another one of our customerrs suggested if you do not want to fill to the absolute top then you can tilt the keg a little toward the gas post and this will also mean the keg doesnt fill all the way to the brim. You just have to remember to lean the keg against a wall or something.
@@KegLand or just don’t worry about it. It’ll be fine.
Great product just used it
What a great idea!
Haha, "ah fk, wasnt done up" - that's me literally everytime I brew!
Would have to agree. At least it wasn't the fermenter tap this time.
Haha that’s right!
I AM SO VERY GLAD THAT I WENT WITH KEG'S!! Expensive but easier to clean and maintain rather than individual bottles. Where do I purchase one?
these can be purchased from www.kegland.com.au/duotight-flow-stopper.html
Many of the kegland distributors also sell this product too. Distributors can be found on the website here:

That's really cool, I am actually thinking of using this as a sight glass, for when i rack from my keg fermenter to my serving keg.
Thinking that i can use a duotight shut-off valve and close the valve when i start seeing trub in the sight glass. Let me know if anyone sees any issue with this!
A gas QD with a piece of hose in the sanitiser/water will work perfectly fine too. You can't walk away while the keg is filling, but pretty simple/cheap option.
Being able to "walk away" (or more likely, forgetting) is exactly the whole point of this though 😁
@KegLand You briefly mention attaching a spunding valve after the flow stopper if using head pressure. This would be my use case, but It seems possible that some beer could get into the spunding valve (and any pressure gauge involved) using this setup. Could this cause problems for the valve/gauge? Perhaps the Blow Tie is simpler to rinse out?
Easiest solution is to have a decent amount of tubing between the Flow Stopper and the Spunding Valve!
So does it fill the keg up to the gas post? So you have to empty a bit of beer out first before you connect the gas post?
Hi kegland i would also like to know the answer to this question. Do I need to remove some the beer so it carbonates properly or is it ok to have filled to the brim? Cheers
Looks like a good way to ruin your regulator.
Great innovation! I'll definitely be adding one to my next order. Cheers Tim
Thanks Tim. Had of we had the time I would have banked up a bunch of legs with a manifold so you can see all the kegs fill with actual beer but we just didn't have the time.
@@KegLand It got the point across and the blooper was great. I do that shit all the time. Cheers Tim
Why do you need the spring?
Might have to look into this one
Have you tried using this with sankeys on a keg coupler?
why are your products not available in Belgium :-(
Was that an adapter to go from ball lock to sankey? Where's that!?
just remember to do it up 5:57. that's awesome kee.. brew sprinkler.
Thanks. Kieran. Really appreciate the support mate
great idea!
hahaha love the blooper
Great idea and product. Just wondering though i thought when you filled a keg you needed to ensure that the beer level in the keg stayed below the small gas inlet pipe inside the keg. If its flowing out the top of the value would it not mean that it was above this and would that be a problem. Thanks for clarifying. Regards
Im wondering the same, I thought you needed to leave headspace
I wondered this exact same thing... Didn't see anyone mentioning it so I just bought it to test it anyway, it was cheap.
I have 2 different kegs, one corny and one of those "mini-kegs" with ball lock heads so I'm gonna test them both with water just to see how it all works out.
I'll try to follow up this comment with my testing when I'm done. I'll probably forget though, sorry in advance 😅
@@mrkesu what was the outcome mate?
@@mrkesu Yea looking for an update on this
@@mrkesu Any days now lads, he'll update us on his glorious findings
As a general guide, what head pressure do you recommend to set the blowtie to for keg transfers?
5 PSI works for me and about 12-15 in the fermenter.
can it be used from Fermenting buckets to kegs without gas
No it would not be useful for that.
Which SS disconnect do I order for a Corny?
These work well :

Zero head space?
Same thing i was thinking... Hhhmmmmm and also so your gonna have you gas line in the keg with beer ? I don't know
I don’t get it either. Isn’t head space necessary for carbonation?
Would be better if you also made a 135 degree elbow for those running corny kegs .......
These are meant to be used on Corny kegs. We have a SS ball lock disconnect that comes out at a right angle.
thank you, the item did not come with instructions, I would have been lost
Good thing we made this video.
I even understood it ...
So do you have trouble understanding the other videos?
@@KegLand All is good .. I am a new brewer, its a world of new acronyms and processes. Takes a while to understand it all. Won't start for real till your fermentasauris 2 comes out. Looking forward to that ...
TFF is all i will say to the end
we are all human
Stop making product I can't buy :'(
