Has anyone ever purged a keg using fermentation CO2 while using an anvil bucket fermenter?
I recently got a cold crash guardian from brewhardware and decided to run the long tube to a gas QD hooked up to a keg filled with starsan instead of to a jar of sanitizer for blowoff. My thinking was hey I can purge a keg and avoid oxygen in cold crash!
Well the bag on the cold crash guardian filled up like it should pretty quick so I closed it - good to go. Unfortunately no starsan was pushed from the keg.
I don’t think I have a leak - though it’s possible. Could it be because the anvil bucket isn’t rated for pressure? Did I hooked it all up about 36hrs into ferment did I wait too long?
