I have a metal cask, similar to these:
It has a shive hole on the side and an open top (bung?). I think its about 15 gallons... I've been using it as a seat during beer launch parties, a prop really.
Anything cool I could make out of it? A fermenter for something besides "real ale"...

Can i hook this up to a 55 gallon drum and have it be a good fermenter?
How would I go about this project?
i turned my pressure down to 1psi, just enough to squirt the beer out. brilliance. Its delicious and i can fill a full glass without too much foam head.
my old bev line was 3 feet, and then i read online that having it that long just makes it more likely to get caught on stuff or under the keg. it matters how long the line is? this doesn't make physical sense.
All foam.
The line to the spigot is not foam.
Heres how this came about...
Kegged & hooked to co2, set to 30psi.
left in fridge at that pressure, hooked up to co2, for 2 days.
unhooked, released pressure, reconnected at 12psi in the fridge.
waited 1 day.
served up these foam...
what creates carbonic acid? and do you all agree with the corrections i made?
its sitting in my fridge now @ 30psi hooked up to the co2 tank.
in 2 days im gonna disconnect it, depressurize it, and connect it at 12psi for a week. testing it in the middle.
and i have carbonated before, but i...
Ok i turned the pressure on the tank up to 30psi and left it hooked up to the keg in the fridge....
I'll leave this like this for 2 days, then im gonna disconnect and bleed off the pressure and reconnect at 12psi and leave for 1 week.
good?
I hooked up 25 psi to keg with it upside down and let the co2 bubble up through it, then i disconnected the keg and rocked it back and forth (agitated it) for a half hour. Then I leave it in the fridge for a few days and then let the pressure out through the valve. Then I bring the pressure up...
I've been brewing for a few years, following recipes closely and using DME or LME when instructed. But whats the real difference? Like is there a conversion rate between the two? Why use DME over LME or the reverse?
example:
Is 2LB of DME equivalent to 2LB of LME?
Do you only need 6LB...
