Over super bowl weekend a friend approached me in regards to making some home brew for his wedding. First I was flattered and then I started thinking about logistics. He was thinking that his thirsty guests could handle about 30 gallons of beer.
Currently I am making five gallon batches and have the ability to brew ten gallon batches. My issue I think is fermentation.
Currently I have two 6 1/2's, two five gallon carboys and five 'corny kegs'. I also have an empty sanke keg.
I guess I can start way ahead of time and just store the 'cornies' for the big event. Would anyone recommend trying to clean out the sanke keg? I have taken one apart before to utilize as a boil kettle. Do I need a special tool to get the metal clip (not sure what the correct name of that clip is) back into place? And if so can I just 'shake it clean with oxyclean'? Followed up of course with some star san sanitizer.
Thanks in advance for the pointers!
