Every homebrewer should have at least one of these August 1, 2024 Reviewer: John from Arizona   Yes you can DIY this with a balloon, but this kit is going to last much longer, you can see inside the bladder to know if it needs a clean, and the check valve prevents the need for the output to be submerged and is a safeguard from suckback if the bladder is drained somehow (never have had this happen). I use this on 90% of batches I do (everything but pressure fermented batches), and it’s never once leaked, popped, or been soiled with blow-off. I am also racking sediment-free beer to my keg with no worries of oxygen. Highly recommended! Was this review helpful to you?

Cold Crashing Made Easy June 22, 2024 Reviewer: Bruce Caddy from Portland, OR United States   Cold Crash guardian works exactly as it should and is a great, inexpensive way to clear your beers. I'm in New Zealand and Brew Hardware do not ship to NZ - but using NZ Post's "You Shop" facility it was easy to get it shipped to NZ at a reasonable price. Was this review helpful to you?

Good but damaged May 1, 2024 Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Canada   Bladder arrived damaged in two spots. It still works but I don't know how long it will hold up. They offered a two year warranty instead of replacing due to high shipping costs.....seems like a good product otherwise Was this review helpful to you?

Easy to set up and effective March 28, 2024 Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Oakland, CA United States   I use this with my fermonster to remove concerns with sanitizer and oxygen suck-back during sampling from the spigot and cold crashing. I need to mark the bag spigot positions to make it fool proof. Was this review helpful to you?

Simple, effective, works great March 20, 2024 Reviewer: MaxStout from Minneapolis, MN   I ordered the 2.5 gal Cold Crash Guardian a few months ago, in anticipation of brewing some lagers. I had previously used a collection system that uses canning jars, but I always had problems with leakage from gaskets losing seal. I set up the CCG after racking 5.25 gallons into my 7 gallon Brew Bucket inside the ferm chamber. Shortly after fermentation went active the bag completely filled with CO2. The excess CO2 bubbled away into a jar of Starsan. When I cold-crashed the brew down to 35F, about half the CO2 in the bag was drawn back, with not a bit of liquid being pulled up from the blowoff jar. The check valve did what it was supposed to do. Another point I like is the bag can be positioned where ever I want it, unlike using clunky jar systems. And unlike using toy balloons, the bag on this is thick and sturdy. Glad I opted for the larger bag--the 1 gal bag would not have had enough capacity. Was this review helpful to you?

No brainer August 4, 2023 Reviewer: Dominic Frisina from Mayfield Heights, OH United States   It is very easy to use, it works, and it is cheaper than trying to make it yourself.  all the parts could be purchased on Amazon, but you would actually spend more than if you just buy this product.

Works Great!! March 5, 2023 Reviewer: Steve Walis from Manitou Springs, CO   I first tried to make something similar using a Mylar balloon and lots of tape.  It looked ugly! Although it sorta worked, it didn't have a 1-way pressure valve so therefore it required a lot of monitoring when inflating or deflating. This is a MUCH BETTER solution and comes with everything you need.  The price is quite reasonable.  It is also, simple to setup and use. The words On & Off on the valve were a little hard for me to see once inside my fermentation chamber, so I colored the sides of handle either Green or Red with a magic marker.
