I have that one. My only complaint is that I doubt if the pressure gauge is very accurate. Even the one in the photo isn't reading zero.Well i have only ever had one !! I have the previous Kegland (?) generation with the large seperate dial, as recently featured on TMM YT video. Works well.

I use the kegland Blow tie, I've got both analog and digital versions plus the version without a gauge.I have seen a few variations of these and wonder if anyone has any preferences.
Brass, plastic, or hideous contraption from kegland.

I’ve got a couple of spundy’s and one of the kegland’s, the spundy is far smaller but in terms of their performance there’s no real difference. You do have to fiddle with them for the first 2 - 3 days to get the right PSI to settle. I’m brewing IPAs mainly and go for 10 PSI which also happens to be the same as what I used to set my kegs to when carbonating. II have seen a few variations of these and wonder if anyone has any preferences.

The digital version is MUCH more accurate than the analogue one. Even by virtue of the fact that the dial is so small, it's impossible to read accurately. Even kegland say it's no better than 10% accurate.I have Spundy - Compact Spunding Valve. It broke within 6 months and I got a replacement for free. However, then I realised that I can merely glue the indicator cover back…
I know there is a digital version, but suspect it is equally accurate even though looks like it is more accurate. Anyway, mine is compact, cheap, has safety release valve, so I am happy
Ok, but does it matter? I simply check if there is enough pressure during the fermentation. I suspect being very accurate doesn’t matter even in business because some brewers have tall fermenters that pressure at the bottom significantly exceeds the pressure at the top…The digital version is MUCH more accurate than the analogue one.

I've checked the digital version against my regulator gauge and it's pretty much spot on at 6, 8, 10 and 12psi. Haven't tested higher as I don't need it for that.
It's very useful for checking keg pressures. While conditioning or in the kegerator.Ok, but does it matter? I simply check if there is enough pressure during the fermentation.

If you're wanting to use spunding to achieve a specific level of carbonation in the finished beer, accuracy is important. Or at least knowing the discrepancy in the gauge.Ok, but does it matter?

That explains why I have to fiddle with the valves to get 10 PSI when I swap between my plastic fermenters and my mini kegsOk, but does it matter?
