Would this fit a corny keg?

Post by floydmeddler » Mon Sep 19, 2022 6:56 pm

Stumbled upon this:

https://brew2bottle.co.uk/products/keg- ... -blue-prv

Question is... would it fit a corny keg? Looks like it might. I like to ferment in the keg sometimes and a 10psi pressure relive valve would come in very handy.

What's your thoughts?

Yeah, it looks identical to a Corny PRV except for the colour.

I would, however suggest that you only use this as a backup to a spunding valve on your corny keg. If one gets blocked or fails then you have the other as a backup.
Ingredients: Water, Barley, Hops, Yeast, Seaweed, Blood, Sweat, The swim bladder of a sturgeon, My enemies tears, Scenes of mild peril, An otter's handbag and Riboflavin.

I’m looking at a couple of cornie PRV spares as I write, and apart from the stronger spring they look very similar.
My cornies tend to need 10 psi to create a seal with the lid, that’s with the more supple seals.
You may have to give the keg a burst of C02 to seal first, and I wonder how accurate it will be, but that probably won’t matter much.
Do you think it’s worth asking Brew2Bottle if it fits a cornie?

Good point on the pre sealing! Didn't consider that. Maybe thicker O rings is the solution to create an immediate seal?
