How to CONVERT SANKE KEG INTO CORNY KEG (ball lock) | Homebrewing 

Great tip!

Any problems cleaning it after? Do you use a special tool?

@@JeremyLord I clean it right away by rinsing with a hose and dumping the yeast. then I put about a half gallon of water in and do a little keg slosh dance which knocks out most of the gunk. After that I just use some scentless oxy clean and fill it up the whole way with water while it’s on my workbench. After a couple of days I use my auto-siphon to drain it. It’s a process but I love being able to ferment lager at basement temps while I can do a second beer fermentation in my temp chamber.

@@hubb412 I'm thinking about picking up a couple of these for fermenting/serving. Does the hose barb come apart so it can be cleaned? Also, it looks like these keg posts are the type that require a gasket to seal right?

Great idea mate.

it's too big for my kegerator, and plus I like the adapter much better. Cheers!

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE oh I meant with it out of the kegerator to ferment in so you don't have to transfer to it. Im interested in seeing how the sanke keg and conversion will work out in your kegerator though. I went the keezer route due to having a deep freezer on hand and not in use, so I probably can't put a sanke keg in my keezer.

Cheers Braj!

Thanks a ton!

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE I'm currently working on my own systems for brewing/keg, 3 party kegs and 7 cola kegs, using 2 party kegs for brewing and one for the fridge, I bought my own 14 gallon stainless fermenter and grinding mill, I do my own metal work, stainless welding ect..., I do love to watch your show, down to earth, you guys are hilarious, Can I still say you guys? Keep up the great work.

Thx for the nice words cheers MM!

I still consider that success! Cheers braj!

Cheers Hero!

Thx for the kinds words braj!

I have that spare coupler since I converted my kegerator to corny haha

Glad that worked out!

Solid advice! Cheers Dima

Search “how to clean a keg”

I agree 100%

They do make sankey keg Taps for kegs all the time. Just unscrew the barb attachments and screw on ball lock adapters instead. Less than $20 for both adapters and you’re done

Shout out to Kevin Fidler!

Cheers DB!

None!

yeah just purge. Headspace isn't a problem. There's always going to be some

and that's prob the best fermenter of all time!

keep the channel going james!

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE Yep, hopefully something new by the end of the weekend!

cheers!

floating dip would def fit!

is it too big that it won't fit in a kegerator?

pizza port in 10!

Just checking.. are you SURE you don’t want to say anything? Haha

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE nope. 😂

step aside martha stewart!

when you coming back!

Nice!

Thx for watching JS!

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE Thanks for creating chill content CH

??? Just snag 15.5 half barrelss

Too easy!

oh snap! where's savannah?

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE Coastal Georgia Braj, East Coast scenery. You have to drive 4 hours to Atlanta just for a shot at that sweet sweet 2nd hand stuff but even then it's limited. People who get into brewing generally stay into brewing, those who get out give up too soon to have decent equipment. It's like the worst catch 22 known to man. I was looking for a nice 15 gallon banger to convert, sadly there were none to be found. I'll keep my eyes peeled. I don't need it yet but you make great points on another vid about scaling up to make the hobby more affordable.

That's a serious job that would require welding

So you can clean it and reuse it

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE , after spending about three hours trying to clean the spear in my Sanke and put it back together I fully understand what you mean now.

@@jdhitshine I'm proud you of you Joe!

back on top!

There's a lot of things you can buy. You just gotta make sure it fits!

i love ugg boots too!

Great suggestion!

sounds like a snowboarding trick!

That's right!

That's actually pretty brilliant!

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE cheers mate! I was also gonna say that the black gaskets might be better for cold-side, silicone is heatproof but EPDM is more caustic resistant

yezzzir

no u

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE lol 😂

very chill
