I’ve started fermenting in a corny keg recently with a spunding valve, seemingly to good results (I love the fact that it’s a cheap multi-purpose stainless steel vessel), but I’ve heard it can be discouraged as if the spunding valve outlet gets clogged, it can lead to some “dangerous situations”. The recent post about a brewery staff member dying from an exploding keg means that the danger is a real one, even with commercial experience and controls.
Are there any extra preventative measures I can take, beyond using a spunding valve and PRV valve as backup in the keg lid, to ensure that I do this safely?
Well, I don’t have much experience on that, especially long term, but for a relatively fresh batch, the taste is great, even for a relatively hoppy beer (it’s an APA). And throughout a few weeks, it hasn’t changed. And it for sure won’t last anywhere near 3 months.
