hey, here is a link to my fermenter on craigslist. I made it from a european sanke with the sanke fitting from brewer's hardware. great fermenter, have done two amazing batches in it. http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/hsh/1795552134.html here is the link to the igloo with the false...

I working on a baltic porter that I've added anise and licorice root too. yes the brewer's licorice root from my lhbs. it tastes good so far everytime i've tried it. it is appraching the end of week three in primary. going to try to keg/bottle it soon i think

nice plan billy. i think i may try that one, my roommate just bought a bathroom scale. perfect

props to derrin. great work and replies to PM's quick!

I used mine with my european sanke. it has the threaded inner neck, but was fine. the spear however did no want to come out. now my question. I'm going to test drive this bad boy (and my new tun!) with a baltic porter tonight. with this nifty contraption came three gaskets, one is obvious...

Good call kmack. I'll give it another go sometime tommorrow. I destroyed the valve trying earlier. No problem really though, I plan on using one of these to ferment in it.

so i got it unscrewed, but can't seam to find out how to remove the spear from the safety catch in there

So Derrin, would this nifty contraption work for a 30L "S" type sanke keg that I have?

I had a friend gift me a 30L Heineken sanke keg and I cannot figure out how to get the spear out. the "slinky" clip shown in all of the tutorials i've looked at doesn't appear to be there. I have reason to believe that it may be a different spear design? european sanke? maybe? Any input is...

so how did the water test work out?
