Adjustable rackingcane on sanke fermenter

[bloke]

Hi,

I use a 15.5 gal sanke keg as fermentor and have a 2"triclamp end encloseure with welded cornykeg balllocks.
When I rack my fermented beer to a clean keg i would like to start racking from the top of fermentor. In other words i could like an adjustable type of compression fitting. I rack my beer under pressure with co2 so it needs to be airtight seal.

Is there such an compression fitting? Or anyone got an bright idea.

Yes. A bore thru style compression fitting with nylon ferrule will do it.

I think this might work. I have attach it to a 2" triclamp endcap to put it to the test, but it seems airtight.
