15 Gallon Ball lock corny keg with the top draft system. I used the corny for conditioning and then drew from the top with jumper to smaller kegs. Or this can be used as serving vessel. I will post pics this afternoon once I get home from work. I decide to delete the photo I took verses...

I would recommend changing the hop schedule: 60 min 1 oz mosaic 10 min .5 oz mosaic Flame out 1 oz mosaic and centennial Dry hop: 3-4 days each even split mosiac/Centenial remove and add other half for 3-4 days This will prevent grassy garlic from the mosaic. Also, need to get at min 4 oz...

You guys think 23 days is good enough for grain to glass (got company showing up in Sept)? With a strong starter and hold yourself to a controlled plan to ferment out, dry hop, and keg you could definately achieve this.

This is a beautiful build.

Clogging issues can be solved with whirlpooling or running through a hop rocket type strainer. Always control output from the pump ball valve verses the kettle.

Place the keg on the scale. Fill it up by weight of the liquid. Roughly 42 pounds depending on gravity of the beer. Here is a HBT thread discussing the math.... https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=526366 Hope this helps.

Very interested. Thank you and good luck!

This sounds like a really good recipe for rotation. Have you tried putting this on oak to mix/balance the sweetness?

I like the build...trying to wrap my head as to how to configure it to sanke keg washer? Have to be same type build but ball float out of the connector to allow it to drain...more thinking. Great build thread!

Good soak and rinse with PBW. Then scrub with a citric solution like Bar Keepers Friend, rinse, and dry completely. Cleans and seals the SS surface.

Aren't most wine fridges uv glass? Might have to check the specs on the model you have.

Also with conical you can drop the trub out before pitching yeast. Definately decreases the chance of a concrete dump/harvest.

Sanitize a wire coat hanger or something that will reach the bottom. Come through the top and create a void in the trub/yeast cake. Open bottom valve and watch for drip. Then it will come out. Warning...don't leave valve open and then try to push it from the top. A human is not fast enough...

Definately love OB Dales. Looking at the dates on this OP I don't know why I haven't read this one before? Thanks for posting it.

Sitting at NTC with grains waiting at the house...lol
