Just have to post up about it... Was surfing the net and found a 1/4 bbl (slim) sanke keg for <$45. :rockin: Person had just one at this time, so I snagged it. He does expect to have more in about a month, so I can post up when I hear that he has more, if anyone is interested.
This will be my fourth sanke fermenter that will allow me to get 5 gallons into keg/bottle. I've been using my 1/6 bbl kegs, which only yield about 4.5 gallons into bottle/keg. I plan to age in the 1/6 bbl kegs for the most part now. Although, in a pinch, I'll be able to use them for fermenters too.
So, my fermenter inventory (that I'll actually USE) is:
2 25L sanke kegs (Italian manufacture)
1 1/4 bbl pony (squat) keg
1 1/4 bbl slim sanke keg
4 1/6 bbl sanke kegs
On Sunday I'll be inspecting a 50L sanke keg, when I pick up two more 3 gallon corny kegs (used)... If it is as explained, I'll be grabbing that too. I'll have time to decide what to do with that one. I could use it for fermenting 10 gallon batches, once I start making them. I don't think I'll convert it into a keggle/mash tun though. I plan on getting a 1/2 bbl for the mash tun.
