Great piece of kit and I love it. Another use is to have a small clear plastic bottle and use it as a sight glass. Allows you to spot if the beer is cloudy before it hit the corney.

[@KegLand]

Top video Gash. Really great to hear how other people are using the gear. Fantastic ideas!

[@michaelcooney7687]

Everytime I watch you I get little dities of useable and reliable information.. Big thanks

[@peterdavis4816]

Thanks Gash, great little gadget. Used one today to do a closed transfer of 'hop tea' out of a (purged) PET bottle into my keg before the beer transfer. Great way of excluding any O2.

[@Duci1989]

Loving the idea of having a little picnic tap on it. In west Europe there is barely any beer in PET, but this would be really nice instead of a minikeg to have in a cooler.

[@mickholgate3347]

I use mine for line cleaning and sanitising too. Works a treat!

[@keshwannaidu3943]

Thanks for for the great demonstration Gash. I just ordered 4 of these T pieces.

[@NiclasOvik]

Great ideas. I also just used the caps with a duotight connector inbetween without the tee for a ballock post interconnect.

[@ejmillion]

I put mine to good use today. First purged my transfer lines and poured off my hydro sample into a bottle, then bottled a couple of samplers off my Fermzilla. Then used them to clean the transfer lines after kegging. They are a real handy piece of kit for next to nothing in cost.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Its crazy how handy it is, Cheers Eddie!

[@davidlagarcelegacyfarms1067]

It can be used as a beer line cleaning system as well.

[@ytrichardsenior]

I just bought one for line cleaning, but it looks like a generally useful thing to have around.

[@jcinsaniac]

Another possible use is between the blow off tube and the fermenter during fermentation - put a vessel large enough to contain the contents of the blow off bottle in the "tee" and then during cold crash - no fear of sucking the water/star san solution back into the fermenter. For added security, you can put a check valve in. Great video - your stuff is always thought provoking. Cheers!

[@shanej2429]

I use it to clarify my beer, I take a white labs vial, fill it with gelatin and water, pressurize it higher than what my fermzilla is pressure fermenting at, and allow it to transfer in to the fermzilla that way. Oxygen free clarification.😃

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Good stuff, Shane, handy little thing! Cheers!

[@GavM]

Nice!

[@Butsugen8]

Really helpful, thanks for posting Gash

[@crookwelltaproom842]

I'm running this on my series x to have 4 removable lines heading in to the fridge, gives the opportunity to run different gases and different pressures and still have it all removable for moving the fridge around.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

That sounds awesome! Cheers mate

[@DavoN3MI]

Hey Gash, I hear you when you say you want a ball lock double adapter! FWIW you can use a 1/4" joiner or valve directly on the barb of the carb caps too. I have used this approach to make a double adapter as well as connect a carb cap to my bottle/can filling gun Cheers.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Yep great idea, its strange when I asked the guys that make this stuff to make a double adapter and they said it wouldnt sell.... Cheers!

[@ejmillion]

Think I'll bottle this way with my all rounder. Another good video mate.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers Eddie!

[@davidblunn7143]

Hi Gash, I use mine for line cleaner, they are really handy gadgets.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Another great use, cheers David!

[@fulhamhomestead212]

I use one on my Fermzilla with a carb stone attatched to a length of tube to carbinate my brew while still in the fermentor before kegging.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thats a good idea too, I was thinking using this would free up the other port on the fermenter for aeration and carbonation, or something else. Cheers David!

[@amphion_au]

Glad I just got some more of these.. They'll sell out now..

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

wouldnt be surprised lol

[@StassBrewing]

Cheers Gash! Pretty cool little dodad!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thanks for taking a look Sir Stass!

[@TheGreekstyle]

Thanks for the ideas, keep up the great vids 🍻🍻🍻

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thanks for watching Pedro!

[@fuzzdood]

Love how flexible this system is. I use duotight 6.5mm joiners (KL14045) to connect two carbonation caps together to get the extension functionality. Same as what you show, but you dont need a bottle to plug up the third hole.†

[@danssv8]

Great ideas mate

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Glad you like them! Cheers

[@sianzin]

Nice work!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers Sia!

[@stephensizer9917]

Thanks for the tips Gash. I particularly like the idea of using it to set the spunding valve. Currently I just use mine for putting cleaning solution in a pet bottle and cleaning kegerator lines

[@TheDamo84]

Love the bloopers

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

hahaha yeah.. Cheers!

[@kacerhomebeerbrewing]

Good idea! Cheers!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers Kacer!

[@josbanse]

Serving from even 2 liter bottle is kinda niche thing to do as for the same trouble you could just pour it. If the bottle is anyway finished within one go there is not much point in that. The other usecases are a bit more handy but still in many cases a double male ball lock adaptor would do quite well so a small bottle in the mix would not be needed. One thing that comes in mind would be adding gelatin to the beer so that in the bottle will go gelatin dissolved in water and one side goes to a cold crashing fermzilla and from the other you just pump co2 to transfer it and releasing pressure from the fermzilla. The T-piece would be particularly handy if kegland would make a beer bag style storage medium with pet bottle thread or something like that so you could bring the beer in a box like a winebag in a box and after use it would be either recyclable and tightly packable or disposable but still small so that you could avoid bringing for example a 5 liter keg and have to carry that back home.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

For sure, and some great ideas, cheers mate!

[@finnroohomebrewing1846]

Very handy cheers

[@kratomseeker5258]

idk why homebrewers that bottle dont start using these to carbonate the beer instead of priming sugar... i want to do this eventually i dont like kegs because im not drinking more then 7 beers a week usually and the beer then starts to taste different in a bad way after some weeks. seems like on one side you can put in the beer and the other side your CO2 up to 10 PSI or 12 or so. am i right? there must be a way to do it. wouldnt the pressure stay in if you keep the cap on of course you would have to buy one of these for each bottle but you can reuse them.

[@danssv8]

Nice brother

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thanks

[@danedwards3738]

What would be really something would be some kind of thread adapter for 5L plastic bottles... Big water bottles and that kind of thing. Would be so perfect for taking to the beach, etc.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Slightly different, but maybe these might fit a bigger bottle. Cheers! bit.ly/OxebarKegs

[@rehaozenc]

Good job...👍👍👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@RadoGG]

is it possible to carbonate bottles using this thingy. I'm new to brewing and not a fan of adding sugar to bottles, also don't want to invest in a full kegging system at the moment.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Possible ummm yes I guess, practical no mate, not at all, sorry. Cheers!

[@stuh4645]

It’s a good idea if you don’t want to drink a whole beer and keep it fresh

[@DrunkDelilahBrewery]

Sorry, what? Don't drink a whole beer?..... Good Lord :)

[@stuh4645]

Stewart Prince not if I’m making beer bread at 8am lol but I see your point haha

[@jlemasur]

Anyone know of how to get this product into Canada? Having a heck of a time finding them here in Calgary, Alberta? Starting to think of trying to find someone to 3D print it.

[@nikgraham8145]

You got AliExpress in Canadia? They've got an official Kegland store and postage is okay on small items.

[@tonyheron3729]

Don't know if you are still looking but cankeg sells them and he is based out of Calgary. Cheers

[@jlemasur]

Tony Heron hey thanks for the info. I actually stumbled upon him and picked some up already. Can not say enough nice things about Sean and cankeg!

[@MatteHatt]

You must be properly bored mate ;-). Although, I do like the idea of top harvesting yeast from the krausen with this little gadget. David Heath showed how top harvesting is easier and cleaner than harvesting from the “dreg”.

[@smashy152]

Overbuilding a starter and harvesting the overbuilt cells is even better again i reckon

[@jasonburns1407]

That’s cool haha

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Funny little thing lol Cheers!

[@christaylor4561]

Brew Hardware makes a ball lock QD to ball lock QD jumper, www.brewhardware.com/product_p/ball_lock_jumperpost.htm, that does the majority of the things you're showcasing in this video and costs far less than the whole carb cap and tee assembly costs. I did have a question about this tee assembly, however. Do you think it is possible to connect a tube to both carb caps whilst in the tee and run them both down in the bottle? I would like to see if I could connect a carb stone and tube to the gas-in side to better carbonate while also having a tube for serving out from the bottle.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

That thing has been out of stock for years, I check all the time and have never seen it in stock. in this video thats what I was talking about when I approached a local company, but they said people wouldnt be interested. Cheers Chris!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

ummmmmmm it would be a tight squeeze but reckon you might be able too with the newer flexible tubing we use, I havent tried it though. Cheers!

[@kegkingdom8966]

A double adaptor mmm 🤔

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

You love it. Cheers hahaha

[@thebeersandthebees]

2 carb caps and 5cm of beer line...

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Genius! lol hahaha cheers mate!

[@christopherholmes7242]

Absolutely! I have a couple of these to connect my beer lines in series and run cleaner through.

[@adrianunwin]

Always been after a double adapter!?!? Hahaha....I think you have been one in the past....hahaha

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

How are ya mate?

[@adrianunwin]

I am doing fine, still got a job and working from home. Have a new kid, baby boy 7 weeks old named Calib. Hope you and your family are all good. I was going to tune into your cast tonight but am a bit buggered from a bike ride today. Hope you have a good Easter and will try watch your cast next Friday. Cheers

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

@@adrianunwin I'll be on in 20mins lol Cheers mate,, Another baby! crazy man :) Congrats mate

[@finnroohomebrewing1846]

Very handy cheers

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers Finnroo, stay safe mate!
