The product, in the report: tri-clamp Blichmann spunding valve
I have owned and used a [REDACTED] unitank beer fermenter for 2 1/2 years.
I have probably brewed 30 to 40 five gallon batches in my unitank since receiving in January 2019. Around five or six of those have been pressure fermentations (the [REDACTED] is “rated” up to 15 psi according to the manufacturer). A few weeks back, it was my intent to brew a beer in the fermenter and to ferment at 10 psi. I use a tri-clamp Blichmann spunding valve to control psi.
I sanitized the [REDACTED] placed all connections and lid on the fermenter, and started to pressurize with the spunding valve by keeping it full open at first, and closing the valve until it released CO2 at 10 psi. Never got there. At 9 PSI the band clamp closure failed, the lid exploded off and cracked my knuckle severing two tendons. These severed tendons required orthopedic surgery 10 days later to reattach. I just thank God the lid did not hit me in the face or head.
