      If they only could move production out of China. I'd rather pay more than support that regime.

      A very large amount of what is around us is produced in China at least in part. Its impossible to avoid.

      @@DavidHeathHomebrew I don't agree. Consumer power could move production to other countries, but that requires us to choose the manufacturers that take that responsibility. I find the "it's unavoidable" attitude too passive.

      Would you be happy to pay the extra though? Many would not. As for being “unavoidable” I mean that most of the electronics, phones, tablets and so on have a vast % of Chinese components. Same with cars and so on. You will find it very hard to avoid and lead a normal life.

    It looks like a really nice upgrade. It´s always easier to measure more correctly with a digital gauge than an analog one. I will upgrade my blowtie/spundingvalve with this and try it out.
    Thanks for sharing, David. Always a pleasure to see your videos.

    Hi David. Thanks for the update. Do you happen to know of any hot wort flow meters for measuring the amount of liquid transferred for using in a HERMS 3 vessel setup? Thanks in advance.

      @@DavidHeathHomebrew Hi Dave. Nice video. I’m also concerned about how to safeguard from liquid going into gauge. I want to ferment under pressure in a keg which is probably a higher risk option; can’t see whats happening and small surface area to volume. I have a Blowtie. Would you rinse with water if it happened or is it game over ? Thank you. Robert.

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  3 роки тому +3

      This is always a concern. You can set up a bottle in between using Keglands Product as follows:- PCO 1881 Carbonation Cap Tee Piece
      This will protect any type of gauge.

    Great product, I've upgraded all my blowties and in line regulators with them, and they are as accurate as my full sized analogue gauge.
    Couple of little tips with them though.
    With the integrated version, use the original screws which held the old gauge in, not the ones which come with the digital one. They have different threads on them which don't line up with the thread in the blowtie body (at least the ones that came with mine did).
    A little keg lube on the bottom oring helps to get it seated flush properly.
    Also be aware that they are a little delicate, use them in areas where they are unlikely to be thumped around or dropped. I managed to break my first one on day three when I dropped my fermzilla lid with the blowtie attached. Can't really claim this as an inherent flaw though, a wonderful product, that was just handled by an idiot. 😇

    Uh oh - I just bought the Duotight inline regulator and digital gauge. When I remove the 2 screws from the regulator, ONLY the top black cover comes off. The inner working of the analog gauge are still in place. Freaking out. Not sure how to remove the rest without damaging it

    • @ryanarmishaw3305
      @ryanarmishaw3305 Рік тому +1

      Ok, freak out is over. I guess the cover comes off, and then you have to carefully pry the gauge out. Seems like a very sketchy design. Luckily I have small fingers.

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  Рік тому +2

      Hi Ryan, a screwdriver works for the screws and retrieving the gauge. When these were made there was no digital replacement in mind but its a 3 minute job at the most really.
      No freak out necessary :)

      ​@@DavidHeathHomebrew - you are always so fast to respond. Thanks buddy. So, it is all installed. I have 4 regulators going to 4 corny kegs. But, the regulators don't seem to do anything. All 4 digital gauges show the same pressure as what I set on my primary CO2 regulator. It doesn't seem to matter how far in/out I screw the knob. I must be missing something - but it doesn't seem like rocket science

    • @ryanarmishaw3305
      @ryanarmishaw3305 Рік тому +1

      The knob controls the pressure. Try closing totally.

    Did your digital gauges fit flush into the inline regulator and spunding valve? I found the screw corners go in further than the other corners and the non screw corners will not push down flush.

      Hi, No I am afraid not. Like other gauges this will fail if water gets in.
