As homebrewers don't pitch volumes appropriate to using a keg like the commercial breweries. But I would love to come up with a device that can be used to push our culture using gas (O2 on brew day and CO2 on keg conditioning day) to inject it inline to the fermenter.
The best thing I can come up with is to rig up a canning jar with a T connection to a gas line (horizontal to the ground) and a compression fitting on the top connected to a steel racking can cut to size. Just enough pressure to move liquid (2 psi) but I am not comfortable pressurizing glass.
Considerations:
Something that is sterilizable/bakable or pressure-cooker worthy to accomodate all kinds of cultures.
Minimal contact with parts hard to sanitize.
