So I thought I'd play around with fermenting in a keg, and in a moment of weakness ordered a CBDS with screen. But while I'm waiting for it to arrive I'm thinking of different ways I can use it. I usually ferment 5 gallon batches in my Speidel 7.9g fermenter with my NorCal oxygen-free transfer kit attached, and already use the built-in CO2 blowoff to purge my keg. For fermenting and kegging a neipa I'd like to do the same, but transfer to the keg, under pressure, through the CBDS as follows:
- Install the CDBS in the dry hop keg on the beer-out.
- Load the dry hop keg with loose dry hops, (pellet). Seal the keg.
- During fermentation use transfer kit blowoff through the beer-out CBDS to purge the keg.
- After fermentation finishes, cold crash, then transfer beer to keg via oxgen-free kit, (I already do this part), but now using the CBDS on the beer out, (rather than the normal dip tube)..
- After 3-4 days then transfer under pressure through the CBDS to a serving keg, (jumpered), to get the beer off the dry hops.
