Hi all.
Wondering if anyone has thoughts on converting a 50l keg to a bright beer tank. I have recently been doing a run of lagers and finding my main fermenter and fridge is tied up a bit.
I'm thinking I need an extra fridge for cold conditioning anyway. Just tossing up options of this vs conditioning in cornies (cornie is OK until I decide to move the keg and stir up the yeast).
Was thinking of removing keg spear and fitting a blanking plug (would a 2 inch one fit?) with dip tube etc. so I could remove to clean the bright tank.
Also wondering if there is any benefit in inverting keg. I'm thinking not as most trub should settle in primary.
Anyway open to ideas. Main thing I found searching was a US company that makes 50l kegs with 200mm triclover port. This would work and be easier to clean but would involve a bit of welding for me to make up.
Cheers Mudd.
