Balliihoo Control Cap
Now Available - Balliihoo Have Launched A New Product That Will Enable The Top Up Of Pressure Barrels With 2Inch And 4Inch Caps, By Way Of A 16g Threaded Co2 Cartridge......But With A Difference.
Unlike The Old 8g Twist On System Which Used An S30 Valve And Required The Entire Bulb To Be Used IN 1 Shot, The New Schraeder Style Valve And Control Cap Will Enable The User To Add A Small Amount Of Co2 From The Bulb And Then Remove The Bulb And Tap (Without Further Loss Of Precious Co2 (So You Can Use 1 Bulb To Top Up Several Times)
You Can Also Use The Schraeder Style Valve To Take A Pressure Reading From Inside The Barrel, This Means That After Initial Priming Pressure Is Used You Can Add A Little Co2 At A Time And Keep Your Pressure Exactly How You Like It (Getting The Perfect Pint Pour Far More Often) You Will Also Save On Co2 As A Single Bulb Will Go Much Further.
Both The 2 Inch And 4 Inch Caps Come With An Over Pressure Release Seal And Schraeder Style Valve, Located On Top Of The Cap, So If There Is Any Suspected Loss Of Pressure This Can Be Easily Tested With A Few Drops Of Water Around And On Top Of The Seal And Valve (Everything Easily Accessible Without The Need To Remove Or Dismantle The Cap Or Valve)
Once The Pressure In Your Barrel Produced From The Priming Stage Has Diminished (Usually Around Half A Brew) You Can Connect The Control Tap To Your Barrel Via The Schraeder Style Valve. Screw A 16gram Co2 Bulb Into The Right Hand Side Of The Control Tap Until It Pierces And Seals (Ensuring The Red Knob Is Set To The OFF Position First) Now You Have Full Control Over The Release Of Co2.
You Can Now Introduce A Controlled Measure Of Co2 To Your Barrel By Turning The Flow Control Know To The On Position, Turn It To The OFF Position When Finished And Leave In Place Ready For When It Is Required Again Or Remove And Store Safely Out Of Direct Sunlight In A Cool Environment, As Long As The Knob Is Turned To The Off Position, There Will Be No Loss Of Co2.
Also Available Is A Pressure Gauge Reader, Press The On Button Repeatedly, Until P.S.I Is Displayed, Press It Down On The Schraeder Style Valve And Hold Until You Get A Reading,
