Has anyone out there thought of converting a regular 15.5 gallon sankey keg into a conical fermenter by chopping out the bottom, welding on a cone with some fittings and then drilling a hole in the top for an airlock?
I'm a total welding/fabrication nooblet, but how do you get a sanitary weld on the inside? I mean, if you put a cone on the bottom of a sanke wouldn't you have to cut out the top to make a weld on the inside? Would it be possible to make a sanitary weld from the outside?
I have thought about turning a keg over, so that the top is facing down. Then drill a hole in the bottom to fill by and to blowoff from. Then you just use a 2" tri-clover clamp into a valve in the bottom. Perfect.
I just need to find a keg that is for sale at a reasonable price.
