Looking at moving up to kegs and have found some contradicting information regarding the actual volume of a corny keg. Most of the resources I've found suggest they are just a bit over 5 gallons, like maybe 5-1/4. One resource I found says they are closer to 6 gallons. The reason for my question is am considering going the route of corny keg fermentation for 5 gallon batches. I am in the market for another fermenter and want to move towards kegging so this will serve both purposes. Who can provide the truth?
Additionally, it seems the ball lock variety is preferred which I presume is due to more accessories being available for ball locks than pin locks. Is this the main reason or are there other reasons to ensure ball lock over pin lock? Many thanks.
