5. Proceed to dump trub or harvest yeast as previously
explained (see "Collecting and Dumping Trub" section).
TIP: You can use the gas-in port on the side of your Flex
Chamber to rouse yeast or hops. Be sure to open one of the
top ports on your conical to allow the CO
escape. This can help a stuck fermentation or allow you to
get some more pop out of that dry hop!
Pressure Package
The path to better beer starts here! This kit turns
your Conical into a Unitank, allowing you to not
only transfer your finished beer in
a true oxygen-free environment,
but also carbonate and serve
directly out of your fermenter.

recommend setting the regulator
on your CO
10–12 psi to ensure you do not exceed
this point. Also, whenever your tank is under
pressure be aware that you will need to relieve pressure
before removing any hardware that is attached to your X1
Fermenter.
TIP: Once fermentation is complete, you can replace your
blow off with a 1.5 in. TC Pressure Gauge to monitor the
head pressure within your unitank.
Having head pressure on your tank helps with dropping
out yeast & trub. However, if you're using pressure to help
drop out solids we recommend using no more than 2–4
psi. Prior to cold crashing, you can apply around 5 psi head

APPLYING PRESSURE —
Applying pressure to your
conical is as simple as putting
gas on a ball lock keg with
the included Gas In post. Keep
in mind that your X1 Uni and
Pressure Lid are rated at 15 psi
at that point.
tank to a maximum of

pressure to counteract the vacuum formed as the liquid
contracts when the temperature drops significantly. This
would otherwise cause the tank to suck in oxygen via the
blow off. You also have the option to force carbonate your
beer while it's still in the tank by keeping it on gas and at
a low temperature.
FERMENTING UNDER PRESSURE — If you plan to ferment
under pressure you will need the optional Pressure
Fermentation Kit. This 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 that
attaches to the gas-in body connect on the Pressure Pack
lid. The spunding valve allows you to set a safe pressure to
ferment. With the Pressure Fermentation Kit 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 Ball Lock Spunding Valve. If at any time you see
Krausen coming through any of the pressure relief valves,
the pressure should be totally released from the X1 and the
u-shaped blow off adapter and silicone tubing reinstalled.
TRANSFERRING TO KEG UNDER PRESSURE — Push your
finished beer into a keg using CO
exposed to oxygen—it's simple and fast using the Pressure
Pack! 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 or at least some beverage tubing
with bev out ball lock connectors at both ends.

it with CO . Fill the keg with CO

pulling up on it several times to ensure all oxygen has
been purged. Leave the PRV open by pulling it up and
turning it slightly to one side. This will allow for the gas
to escape as it's replaced by finished beer.
TIP: Use a Ball Lock Spunding Valve (part # FIL42S) on the
gas-in post of the keg to regulate the flow and keep highly
carbonated beer from foaming up during transfer.
2. Attach your CO tank to the Gas In post on your Pressure

the other side to your keg's Bev Out post, ensure that
the PRV is open and the pressure has been released

unpressurized keg.
5. Once your beer has transferred, unhook the Bev Out &
Gas In connectors. Be sure to release any pressure from
inside your X1 before opening it for cleaning.
