Spunding valve

[brew]

Hmm - a while back I lent out my spunding valve, but as luck would have it I don't remember to who - anyone else remember?

I'm sure it will turn up...I'd give you the old one I got from JohnQ but it's completely saturated with stickiness.  I can bury the needle on the pressure gauge with the valve full open and nothing...maybe a good long soak will bring it around.

I've found that if you mess up and allow beer through, then hooking it up to a keg of hot water and pressuring water through does the trick.  The valves are SS inside and it doesn't seem to harm them.

Cool nice tip thanks...

problem at the moment is 50+ psi won't release the valve so I can't get flow through it...might just take off the gauge and boil the damn thing.
No biggie, I have a couple of other spunding valves that work just fine.
