I just wanted to show y'all how I rack my beer out of my sanke fermenters, it is the same basic hardware that I have for my Blichmann beer gun.
Here is my CO2 setup that I am purging the keg on the ground after sanitizing so I can transfer under CO2.

Here is where I hook up the CO2 to the sanke to get ready to transfer. I generally shoot for about 2 psi for transfering, it takes about 2 min for 5 gallons.

This pic shows me getting ready to transfer with the lines hooked up, I had been thinking about going through the dip tube but I have a feeling that some excess
foaming would ensue.

Here is the transfer, I have the sanke diptube pulled up to start then I slowly lower it down until I see yeast come out then I raise it up a little higher for clear beer.

A pic of the CO2 showing barely any psi for pushing out the beer

I hope this helps y'all get a better picture of how I transfer my beer to my cornies and then to my casks. I haven't seen any guides on how to do this on here before, so hopefully it is helpful to somebody.
