Fermentation in a corny?!?!?

[J-Pizzel]

Has a corny ever been turned into a primary fermenter? I've been thinking about it and can't really come up with why not. Could set up an airlock through a spare lid or through one of the locks maybe and then just transfer into another from there... Any thoughts?

Yup. Huge thread on it somewhere around here.

Yes, lots of people have done this. One problem you should consider is that there is not much head space in a corney with 5 gallons.
