I know there are a thousand threads out there on this but I didn't find what I was looking for in about 15 minutes of searching.
I have an extra sanke 15.5g keg sitting around and I do ten gallon batches with my friend. I am planning on making the keg an extra primary fermenter. I typically secondary all my beers so I will just be going from the keg to two 5 gallons secondaries. So is there a point to doing all the fancy stuff with the conversion kits and such? Is there anything wrong with just throwing a stopper or carboy cap on there and then siphoning to the secondaries? What parts are needed to connect to a carboy cap to pressure push the beer into the secondaries incase it becomes to heavy to lift to siphon. Also, what size stoppers and carboy caps are used to fit on American sanke kegs? Any other input is appreciated. Thanks.
Btw I don't have money to buy the conversion kit so please don't suggest that I have already looked into it. Maybe I'll get it when I get some money.
