In lieu of using a barbed elbow and a rubber stopper included with your Fermenator
TM
, the optional
blow-off assembly includes a ½” barbed adapter (Fig 4) so you can make up a CO

Follow the pressurizing instructions as directed in the “Racking finished beer – CO

pressure pumping”
section in the manual supplied with your conical.
Warning:
Do NOT use this product on any other manufacturers equipment! Blichmann Engineering products are
designed with a pressure relief system to prevent dangerous over-pressurizations.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE THE ½” BARB X 1” TRI CLAMP CONNECTOR DURING
FERMENTATION AS A BLOW-OFF HOSE. Dangerous over-pressurization could occur from plugging of
this hose. The 1” barb allows adequate area for blow-off material (hops etc) to pass without clogging.

After use, rinse with hot water and soak the fittings and seals in hot PBW solution or boil as in the
sanitizing procedure. Thoroughly dry all seals and o-rings and store them in a plastic bag and place

Note: it is not necessary to re-sanitize the fittings prior to the next use if you have stored them in a bag.
Proceed directly to the assembly stage as you will be sanitizing them after assembly.
Contact your local Fermenator Distributor for replacement parts and lid seals.
