It was a surprise 30th joint birthday gift from mates.. was certainly a big surprise! Only problem is it takes me 4 batches in one day to get it to about 90 odd litres full lol
One of them is into brewing too and we were chatting about the large fermenters while at a home-brew comp last year. I didn't know but my SO and him organised with my other mates to all chip in and surprise me with it.
That was about 3 weeks ago so now I'm putting it to good use and trying to up my game hehe. Great bunch of friends that's for sure
This was just leak testing the fermenter and connections.. tap water only, no beer involved. Only had the lid off so I could watch the water level as I made sure the fermenter wasn't leaking C02 or water from the seals. Thankfully I've never had to experience a keg infection.
