I think Sabco makes them: Sanke Kegs that have Corny keg lids? But they are super expensive.
I like the idea of using a sanke keg as a fermenter, I do 10 gallon batches now and finding reasonably priced 15 gallon vessels to use as fermenters has been problematic.
What I don't like is the idea of trying to clean it out of that tiny hole in the sanke fitting top.
So has anyone tried DIY'ing a fermenter out of a sanke keg similiar to the sabco ones?
Seems that it wouldn't be too hard, trace the outline of a corny keg lid on the top of the sanke keeping in mind to make the actual hole like a 1/2" smaller, get out the jigsaw and cut the hole. May have to use a hammer to flatten out the edges maybe use two gaskets on the corny lid to get a good seal? But it seems pretty doable? Am I off the mark here?
