Getting 2 kegs - don't know what to do with them
But I know they can be useful.
Alright I know someone who knows someone else who has a cousin whose girlfriends dad can get me some kegs - no cost. Thing is, Im torn as to what to do with them. I would absolutely love any response to this. Except for "give them to me". Anyways, there is 2 of them for now. More if I want them. I was thinking of getting set up for AG brewing. Or maybe using one of them as a keggle? I dont know. |
Make a keggle out of one, HLT out of the other, maybe.
|
Keggle, HLT, MLT, Fermentor, garden box. That's about what I can come up with.
|
sell them and buy other gear you know you want.

Are there any diagrams anywhere I look at as to what to put on my new huge ass fermentor? Since is 15+ gallons, will I have to worry about having too much head space? Im thinking I'll want, a drain on the bottom (how far up?), a temp gauge somewhere near the middle. What about the top? I'll need and air lock bung hole. I checked out the DIY projects sticky and didnt find anything there. |
Head space shouldn't be a problem. It fills with CO2 anyway.
I agree though HLT, MLT, BK, fermenter(s). Try seeing if you can trade a few for a march pump. |
I bought three 1/2 barrel kegs from a recycler leaglly with the intent of making my Herms. After 6 years of them sitting in my garage I'm now planning on turning them into planters for my Hops crop next year.

sell them to buy other gear or use them to ferment 10-13 gallon batches
|
I have started using a 15.5gallon sanke for fermenting 5 gallon batches. It seems to be working great with no signs of oxidation from a large headspace. It's relatively easy to clean with oxiclean and then I boil my sparge water in it for extra sanitation. Then I hit it with some starsan and use a #11.5 stopper with an airlock in it.
