Anyone else go from carboys to keg fermentation

Gas line as the blow off, before adding the spunding valve set up 20 psi

I know people who are fermenting in corny kegs, but not a sanke like that. Very cool.

What fitting is that? Does it still connect to the spear?

Just did my first in a Corny keg and I was amazed at how much better my IPA tastes. It's my standard recipe and I can definitley taste a fuller body a much more punchy hops flavor and aroma. Can't believe I waited this long to do it as I have had spare kegs sitting around for a couple years.

I fermented in sankes for years but hated cleaning it thru the spear port. Since you can't see thru it like a carboy I bought a borescope camera to see if it is clean.
After finally having enough of that, I bought a .5bbl brite tank with 4inch tri-clamp top similar to the kegmenter.
It is much easier to clean and has plenty of headspace but still has the issue of poppets clogging during transfer.

I looked at the sanke but for the reason you had about the cleaning process, I went with the 4 inch tri clamp...50l kegmenter

This is the type I have. I just wanted the extra capacity over the kegmenter.

Sabco, maybe other mfgrs too, offer a four inch triclamp to sanke spear port.

I like the 50l kegmenter

The kegs are going to be better,
