clamps, etc. — with sanitizer prior to assembling and attaching it to
your conical dump port.
2. Attach the Flex Chamber to the bottom of the buttery valve,
keeping the buttery valve closed. Remove one black side cap
and install the KG500 ball lock adapter. Slightly loosen the other
black cap on the opposite side of the Flex Chamber so that CO2
can escape while ushing.
3. Set the regulator on your CO2tank to its lowest possible setting,
i.e. 1–2 psi, and connect your Ball Lock Gas QD to the KG500 ball
lock adapter.
4. Allow gas to ow out of the Flex Chamber for a few seconds to
ensure all the oxygen has been ushed. Tighten the black cap.
You can replace the KG500 with the black cap or leave it in place
for fermentation.
Pressure Package
WARNING: Only pressurize your Fermenter when using the
optional BrewBuilt Pressure Pack accessory kit.
WARNING: If pressurizing, never exceed 15 PSI.
WARNING: Do not alter or change the Pressure Relief Valve
(PRV) built into the lid.
WARNING: Always use an approved CO2regulator, with a
functional low pressure gauge, to apply pressure to your BrewBuilt
Fermenter.
WARNING: Before removing any tri-clamp, tting or lid clamp
connected to the conical, release pressure from conical following
the instructions in this section. Failure to release pressure from
your X1 Uni could result in a tting or lid being released under
pressure which could cause bodily harm or death.
WARNING: Before applying pressure make sure the Pressure
Relief Valve (PRV) is properly installed in the lid.
WARNING: Always conrm your Lid PRV is clean and working
properly before applying CO2pressure.
The Pressure Pack, specically designed to work
with BrewBuilt X1 Conical Unitanks, unlocks many
possibilities. Apply low pressure before cooling to
eliminate sucking oxygen back in. Use it to grab a sample
or transfer nished beer to a keg in a true oxygen-
free environment. The Clear Float allows sampling
or transferring of the clearest possible beer from
the top down! In this guide. Please read
and follow the additional instructions that
come with your Pressure Pack Kit.
NOTE: Whenever your X1 conical is under
pressure be aware that you will need to
relieve pressure before removing the lid
clamp or any tting that is attached to
your X1 fermenter. If you are using a Flex
Chamber collection vessel, make sure the
bottom buttery valve is always in the open
position when in use and when relieving
pressure from the conical.
INSTALLATION
Assemble the Pressure Pack lid per the
diagram. DO NOT USE TEFLON TAPE to
assemble threaded body connects as they seal
with the included o-rings. When attaching the
Pressure Pack lid to your X1 conical, be sure your TC
gasket is properly seated and then tighten down the TC clamp.
Follow instructions that come with your Pressure Pack lid.
TIP: A welded a hook on the bottom of the Pressure Pack Lid can be
used to hang drawstring bags for avoring additions.
APPLYING PRESSURE
FIRST TEST —First take a moment and read the warnings above.
For safety we always recommend the rst pressure test be made
while the conical is lled with water. Aer the conical is completely
lled with water, replace the u-shaped blowo with an included
tri-clamp end cap. Before connecting CO2pressure be sure you
have a working, accurate regulator with a low pressure gauge. We
recommend setting your regulator to 1–2 psi to start with, and
always less than 15 psi. Connect your gas-in ball lock QD on your
CO2dra system to the gas-in body connect located on the Pressure
Pack. The gas-in body connect has a notch on the side, while the
beverage-out body connect does not. With 1-2 psi applied to the
conical, practice releasing pressure by unthreading the PRV cap.
Read the section on releasing pressure slowly as instructed in the
section ‘Releasing Pressure’ below.
TIP: When applying pressure some brewers choose to cap the blowo
port with an optional tri-clamp pressure relief valve with a gauge.
TRANSFERRING AND SAMPLING
The bev-out tting is equipped with a unique oating dip tube that
will pull beer from the top rather than the middle or bottom of the
conical. We recommend using a ball lock jumper, a section of beer
line with a beverage-out QD at both sides, to transfer beer from
your X1 to the bottom of your keg. When applying pressure for
sampling or transferring start with a low pressure and increase only
as needed. Keep in mind that your X1 Uni and Pressure Pack lid are
rated at 15 psi and the PRV will start releasing pressure around this
point. Never apply more than 15 PSI to your X1.
TIP: Filling your keg from the bottom up will keep splashing to a
minimum as beer will ow down the beverage dip tube and gently
ll the keg from the bottom up. Lastly, pull up the PRV ring on the
keg and set it in the open position to allow air (or CO2if you pre
purged the keg) to escape as your fresh beer ows in.
RELEASING PRESSURE
WARNING: Before removing the lid clamp, TC tting, or
any accessory, it is required to rst release any pressure
from your BrewBuilt Fermenter.
Releasing pressure from your X1 can be achieved by loosening the
cap on the Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) that is built into the lid. Slowly
loosen the cap counterclockwise until you hear the release of any
CO2exiting the PRV. When the release has stopped, continue to
slowly unthread the cap. At any point while loosening the cap if
you hear additional CO2being released, stop and wait. When no
additional CO2is being released slowly remove the cap completely to
ensure that all pressure has been removed from the fermenter. Only
then is it safe to begin removing ttings or the lid clamp.
TRANSFER CLEAR BEER TO KEG UNDER PRESSURE
Push your nished beer into a keg using CO2so it never becomes
exposed to oxygen—it’s simple and fast using the Pressure Pack.
Thanks to the Clear Float stainless steel oating pick up, you’ll be
transferring the clearest beer from the top down.
Once your beer is ready to be packaged into a keg, follow these
instructions. NOTE: you will need a Corny Keg Ball Lock Jumper Line
(beverage tubing with bev-out ball lock connectors at both ends).
1. Fill your keg with sanitizer solution. Push the sanitizer out using
CO2. Open the keg pressure relief valve to let CO2exit the keg
during lling.
