Well I must have done something right. I just won a Spike Brewing CF5! It was delivered last night. It looks great and went together easily. It's gong to be a couple of weeks before I get a chance to use it though. The quality of workmanship is amazing. Thanks Kyle and Ben and the rest of the...
That's where I was heading. I would think that a SS brew Bucket or something similar would be a better option. However, you would need some way have a way to convert the airlock port to a gas post.
Edit: What about a corny keg?
