directly into the fermenter. Loose material can clog the blow off 
and airlock. Use a mesh bag to contain these types of materials.

  Do not alter or change the Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) built into 

the lid.

  Pressurize with compressed gas only with the BrewBuilt Kit 

for Fermenting Under Pressure. Always use an approved CO

2

 

regulator, with a functional low-pressure gauge. Never exceed 
15 PSI.

  During fermentation, never close off/cap your X1 except when 

using the BrewBuilt Kit for Fermenting Under Pressure.

  When the optional BrewBuilt Flex Chamber is installed always 

keep the bottom butterfly valve open, allowing CO

2

 to be 

released. Failure to keep the valve open could  cause the Flex 
Chamber to become over pressurized and explode. 

The Pressure Pack, specifically designed to work 
with BrewBuilt X1 Conical Unitanks, unlocks many 
possibilities. Apply low pressure before cooling to 
eliminate sucking oxygen back in. Use it to grab a sample 
or transfer finished beer to a keg in a true oxygen-
free environment. The Clear Float allows sampling or 
transferring of the clearest possible beer from 
the top down! In this guide. Please read and 
follow the additional instructions that come 
with your Pressure Pack Kit. 

INSTALLATION  

Assemble the Pressure Pack lid per the 
diagram. DO NOT USE TEFLON TAPE to 
assemble threaded body connects as 
they seal with the included o-rings. When 
attaching the Pressure Pack lid to your X1 
conical, be sure your TC gasket is properly 
seated and then tighten down the TC clamp. 
Follow instructions that come with your 
Pressure Pack lid.

TIP:

 A welded a hook on the bottom of the 

Pressure Pack Lid can be used to hang drawstring 
bags for flavoring additions.

APPLYING PRESSURE

FIRST TEST —

 

First take a moment and read the warnings above. For 

safety we always recommend the first pressure test be made while 
the conical is filled with water. After the conical is completely filled 
with water, replace the u-shaped blowoff with an included TC end 
cap. Before connecting CO

2

 pressure be sure you have a working, 

accurate regulator with a low pressure gauge. We recommend 
setting your regulator to 1–2 psi to start with, and always less than 
15 psi. Connect your gas-in ball lock QD on your CO

2

 draft system 

to the gas-in body connect located on the Pressure Pack. The gas-
in body connect has a notch on the side, while the beverage-out 
body connect does not. With 1-2 psi applied to the conical, practice 
releasing pressure by unthreading the PRV cap. Read the section 
on releasing pressure slowly as instructed in the section ‘Releasing 
Pressure’ below. 

TRANSFERRING AND SAMPLING

The bev-out fitting is equipped with a unique floating dip tube that 
will pull beer from the top rather than the middle or bottom of the 
conical. We recommend using a ball lock jumper, a section of beer 
line with a beverage-out QD at both sides, to transfer beer from 
your X1 to the bottom of your keg. When applying pressure for 
sampling or transferring start with a low pressure and increase only 
as needed. Keep in mind that your X1 Uni and Pressure Pack lid are 

rated at 15 psi and the PRV will start releasing pressure around this 
point. Never apply more than 15 PSI to your X1.  

TIP:

 Filling your keg from the bottom up will keep splashing to a 

minimum as beer will flow down the beverage dip tube and gently 
fill the keg from the bottom up. Lastly, pull up the PRV ring on the 
keg and set it in the open position to allow air (or CO

2

 if you pre 

purged the keg) to escape as your fresh beer flows in.

RELEASING PRESSURE

  Before removing the lid clamp, TC fitting, or 

any accessory, you must first release any pressure from your 
BrewBuilt Fermenter.

Releasing pressure from your X1 can be achieved by loosening the 
cap on the Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) that is built into the lid. Slowly 
loosen the cap counterclockwise until you hear the release of any 
CO

2

 exiting the PRV. When the release has stopped, continue to 

slowly unthread the cap. At any point while loosening the cap if 
you hear additional CO

2

 being released, stop and wait. When no 

additional CO

2

 is being released slowly remove the cap completely to 

ensure that all pressure has been removed from the fermenter. Only 
then is it safe to begin removing fittings or the lid clamp. 

TRANSFER CLEAR BEER TO KEG UNDER PRESSURE

Push your finished beer into a keg using CO

2

 so it never becomes 

exposed to oxygen—it’s simple and fast using the Pressure Pack. 
Thanks to the Clear Float stainless steel floating pick up, you’ll be 
transferring the clearest beer from the top down.
Once your beer is ready to be packaged into a keg, follow these 
instructions. 

NOTE:

 you will need a Corny Keg Ball Lock Jumper Line 

(beverage tubing with bev-out ball lock connectors at both ends).
1.  Fill your keg with sanitizer solution. Push the sanitizer out using 

CO

2

. Open the keg pressure relief valve to let CO

2

 exit the keg 

during filling.

2.  Attach your CO

2

 tank to the gas-in post on your Pressure Pack lid 

and set it to around 10–12 psi.

3.  Attach the Corny Keg Ball Lock Jumper Line to the bev-out post 

on your Pressure Pack lid.

4.  Once you hook up the bev-out to the keg, beer will start flowing 

from the pressurized X1 Unitank into the unpressurized keg.

5.  Once your beer has transferred, unhook the bev-out and gas-in 

connectors. Pressurize your keg.

6.  Be sure to release any pressure from inside your X1 before open-

ing it for cleaning.

FERMENTING UNDER PRESSURE

 

 Follow all special warnings and instructions 

that come with the optional BrewBuilt Kit for Fermenting Under 
Pressure. Do not pressure ferment without using the optional Kit for 
Fermenting Under Pressure.

If you wish to ferment under pressure, or capture CO

2

 at the end 

of fermentation, you must use the optional BrewBuilt Pressure 
Fermentation Hardware Kit.  The optional hardware kit comes with 
a commercial-grade pressure relief that connects to the 1.5” TC port 
on the lid. It also comes with an adjustable spunding valve. The 
spunding valve allows you to set a safe pressure to ferment. With 
the BrewBuilt Kit for Fermenting Under Pressure installed, there are 
three safety relief valves: the standard pressure relief valve welded 
into the lid, the commercial 1.5” TC relief valve, and the PRV on the 
Spunding Valve. The Fermentation kit includes a no-foam krausen 
reducer, CellarScience

®

 Foam-Axe to reduce the chance that krausen 

could enter any of the PRVs.
