Sanke keg question

[Tomtanner]

Hello,

I have acquired three extra Sanke kegs and want to use two of them as fermenters and one as a serving vessel. I am currently using two 5.5 gallon corny kegs with a typical ball lock and pink lock setup and am curious how I can use a Sanke in a similar fashion so that I can use co2 to force carb. Does anyone currently do this? What Is required to do a setup like this?

All you need is a sanke coupler, typically a type D is used for most domestic kegs, Euro kegs are different. With the coupler connected carbing is done just as it is w/ a corny keg. Great link below regarding installation of sanke spiral retaing rings.

This thread tells you how to simply switch back and forth from corny to sanke.
