To spund is German for bung, meaning to close up or seal. Spunding in brewing refers to the act of closing off a vessel containing beer or wort and allowing pressure to build inside the liquid. This is useful in the natural carbonation of a beverage such as beer. The spunding valve is a device consisting basically of a pressure gauge to show vessel pressure, and some way to release overly wanted pressure from that vessel. Normally something such as a adjustable back-pressure relief valve is used to control a set pressure, venting any excess gas out of the vessel. | To spund is German for bung, meaning to close up or seal.

To spund is German for bung, meaning to close up or seal. Spunding in brewing refers to the act of closing off a vessel containing beer or wort and allowing pressure to build inside the liquid. This is useful in the natural carbonation of a beverage such as beer. The spunding valve is a device consisting basically of a pressure gauge to show vessel pressure, and some way to release overly wanted pressure from that vessel. Normally something such as a adjustable back-pressure relief valve is used to control a set pressure, venting any excess gas out of the vessel.
Use in brewing:
This a really good article on spunding I found on the web while doing my research. Here, is a really good article where Kaiser talks about transferring or racking beer from one keg to another under pressure or "counter-pressure".
