Hi All,
So I've just concluded my experiment on fermenting in my stainless keggle. I brew with BIAB/3V but recently have done a few extracts as I wanted to get going asap. For the most recent batch, a 40L sticklebract bitter, I got lazy and decided to see if I could ferment in the 50L keg that I did the boil in.
I no chill anyway, so I had to leave it until the next day. I pitched 2 packs of SAF US05, and let it do its thing. The beer has come out tasting better than ever, pure (coincidence of course) and I kegged it tonight. I thought I'd just post this in case anyone else was thinking of doing this.
It's half way to a conical, as the base of the keg is slightly conical. Give it a shot, it's a great way to brew!
Cheers,
Clint
