Wondering if there are any good fermenters , even smaller 2-3 gals for pressurized fermentation.
Currently I have a stainless keg waiting for me from a friend, the plan being to drill a quarter inch hole on top and braze in a pressure gauge with 1/4 copper pipe for monitoring pressure.
Drill another top hole for low pressure relief valve, thinking to set at 15 psi ? What this will do is once pressure builds up in the fermenter if it hits the set limit then it will vent gas until under set limit.
Lastly I will install a ball valve drain about 2" above bottom, rubber gaskets for additional seal and debating on stainless braid removable filter for sediment , trub, hops debree.
Gauges and relief valve plus the ball valve drain and the money for the keg ( think keg was 20) gets a bit pricey.
Is there a premade perhaps plastic solution? I know the keg pressure fermentation would be bad ass, but maybe I can save a few bucks.
Thanks .
