I had 10 gallons of a Munich Helles and got sick and tired of how boring it was by the time the second keg was going on tap. I took a larger paint strainer bag (http://amzn.to/1F80apS - i use same in hop spider during boil) and a plastic zip tie, dunked both in star san. Then insert the bag...

I've got the same set up BK, pump, plate chiller, inlet at top of BK, and have had very few problems with whirpools, hopstands, chilling in general. Two things make a huge difference in preventing clogged flow - hop spider with mesh bag and a bazooka type filter on the pick up tube. The...

Sign me up!

I think if I were to build this fermenter (and I am seriously considering it) that I would put a ball lock gas post in the lid to help with CO2 aided transfers. One could also even put in a ball lock liquid post and a modified dip tube in the lid. Push with gas and transfer out through the dip...

I'm in!

I realize this is an old thread but.... Any reason why something like this would not work? I'd hook it up to the ball lock disconnect's 1/4" MFL fitting...
