Hi all! Has anyone here tried to ferment a Hefeweizen in a corny keg?
I have a 6.5 gallon corny keg and was planning on putting ~5 gallons of hefe into it and either removing the poppet on the gas post and using a hose over it in case there is any blowoff, or remove the prv and put a hose there.
Yeast will be WLP300.
Guess my main concerns is whether the 1.5 gallons or so would be enough headspace? Also, is there any reason not to use fermcap with a hefe?
At the end of the day it’s not that serious as long as I have a blowoff tube, but I’d rather not make too much of a mess and preferably just use a airlock if possible
