I have a Sanke sitting around and needs a purpose. I am thinking about doing a 12-gallon or so batch, and using the Sanke for fermenting (This should be a good headspace/volume IMHO).
My thought though, is that I want to transfer (can do under pressure) from the Sanke in sections. Meaning, after fermentation is complete, I want to transfer 5-gallons to a serving corney. Which will leave 7-gallons remaining in the sanke.
It may be another month before I refill the corney with this brew.
If I keep oxygen out of he sanke as best as I can..can I get another month of leaving it in the sanke until I transfer to my serving corney with that headspace?
