I have a few sours under my belt now and I'm looking to move from 5 gallon batches to something larger. I don't have room for a full sized barrel, I'm thinking more in the 15 gallon range. My questions are mostly about material for the fermenter.
I assume plastic isn't ideal with how much air/oxygen would be exchanged and the beer would go overly acetic. But would this still happen with thicker HDPE?
Would a converted sanke keg get enough air exchange to be worth it?
Any ideas are appreciated!
