Hello Everybody
I have found a few posts mentioning how others seal there fermentors for long term storage but not many talking about sanke kegs in particular. I am looking to turn a half barrel sanke keg into a solera project. I have the brewer's hardware sanke fermentor kit for the main fermentation but don't want to tie them up for years since they are not cheap. How is everyone sealing their sanke for the long term?
My thoughts are:
1. Get a tri-clover hose barb that a airlock can fit in
2. Find a bung that fits the opening and is sealed like wine bung for oak barrel.
3. Cheap plastic cap stretched over the opening
4. Just use the sanke kit I have.
I appreciate any one with experience hear giving their process and pros and cons if possible.
Thanks
Kyle
