I use a 14.5 gallon conical fermenter, which I fill with 12.5 gallons of wort everytime I brew. So, far everything is hunky dorie.
I have given thought to using a 15-gallon cornelius keg as a secondary.
Here's my theory...
Primary fermentation of 2-3 weeks depending on gravities.
Transfer to secondary (cornelius keg), bump it with gas to get a positive seal the keg, and let it rest for 2-3 weeks.
Check for carbonation and if neccessary bulk prime with sugar or malt and/or hit with gelatin. And, give it another week or so....
...then transfer the contents to bottles, and 5-gallon cornies.
any thoughts?
