BLICHMANN QuickCarb Coupler Adapter Kit

Product Information

The QuickCarbTM Coupler Adapter Kit is a product manufactured by Blichmann Engineering. It is designed for the carbonation of beer and is intended for use at a maximum pressure of 50psi or a maximum temperature of 140F. The kit includes various components such as male flare fittings, coupler wing nuts, washers, and a 12V power adapter. The product is built to provide years of service and deliver outstanding beer.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Read and thoroughly understand the user manual before using the QuickCarbTM. Pay special attention to important safety information.
2. Ensure you have all the parts listed in the manual.
3. To modify the assembly procedures and operate the QuickCarbTM with commercial standard coupler connections, follow these steps:
4. Replace both the black and grey ball locks with the provided male flare fittings, coupler wing nuts, and washers.
5. Follow the QuickCarbTM Cleaning, Sanitation, and care procedures outlined in the manual.
6. Use the 12V power adapter instead of the original 6V.
7. If the check valve in the coupler cannot be removed, you may need to apply an additional 4 to 5 psi to achieve proper carbonation.
8. For proper carbonation, use about 2-3 psi higher pressure than shown on the carb chart.
9. The general function of the QuickCarbTM remains the same as the standard instructions, but new parameters may be necessary for proper carbonation. Adjustments may be needed based on the presence of a check valve in the coupler.
10. The run time for carbonation may vary depending on the size of the keg being used. Allow approximately 45 minutes per 5 gallons of beer. Adjust the pressure up or down a few psi until adequate carbonation is achieved.
11. For sanitation, submerge the coupler in StarSan while recirculating with the pump. Remember to reinstall the check valve after disconnecting the QuickCarbTM.
12. Document the pressures that work well for your system for future use.
