Does anybody have any idea how much pressure a fermenting wort will build? I know that's a vague question with many variables, but I'm just wondering if anybody has tried to ferment in a sealed vessel? I'm thinking about getting ahold of an old industrial gas cylinder and trying to ferment a...

I'm getting ready to keg for the first time today, and in all of my research I haven't seen anything about sanitizing the gas-side of the operation (ie, valve, regulator and gas line). I am assuming that is due to the fact that once connected the CO2 will deplete the oxygen (ie, air) in the...
