I'm thinking about converting a SS 15.5 gallon beer keg into a fermenter. Anybody got any pics or drawings on how they made a lid that was sealable?
Thanks
Beer Keg Fermenter lid? Any Ideas?

Hi Cellsitegod,
I scrounged a great s/s saucepan lid to use as my column base to my keg. I drew a circle around the lid style, cut out the keg and the lid fits in snugly. Place a cork gasket around the cutout and a couple of tension bars over the lid and under the keg rims and a perfect seal. The same could be done for fermenting as long as in place of the column you have an airlock to let gas escape. We don't want BOOM.

If at first you don't succeed - try something different,
