I took a leap and decided to ferment in a corny keg. I was able to purge the keg before and after the closed transfer. I used a blow off tube in the beginning but now I'm kind of letting natural carbonation build and using the PRV like a spunding valve. I'll eventually be able to fully spund properly to carbonate during fermentation, but I'll force carb this time. Without ever opening the fermenter or exposing to room oxygen, I'll be able to serve the beer directly from the keg. I imagine the first pint will be trub. I now have a second keg fermenting and I even dry hopped! So we'll see how it goes who knows maybe it will be great. I might have to hook up a floating dip tube.
Who else is doing this now? I know many have done this before me, but something still feels a little cavalier about it.
