I have two unused 1/2 barrel sanke kegs and I was considering jumping into 10gal batches (why not I figured).
I was thinking about cutting the top off of one and making it into a Keggle.
Buying a 10gal wort chiller.
Buying a propane stove.
Somehow converting the second keg into a primary fermenter.
That's the one I am kind of hung up on. I have no welding skills. I would like to do closed fermentation. If I just made a small hole and did an airlock, how would I get back in to clean the keg/ empty the trub? If I cut the lid off, and made a small airlock hole on the lid, how would I reseal the lid?
Has anyone done this? Pictures?
I did a search and found one thread relating, but I didn't understand the user's method.
