Cornelius (soda) kegs as fermenters

The following is a list of links to keg fermenter resources on the internet. I'll continually add to this list as I find more resources. If you know of others please post a comment here with a link. If you are interested to see what other resource pages I have created click on the "resource posts" label link at the bottom of this post or over there in the sidebar.

Some things I've figured out:

• If you need a secondary fermentation, it can be done in kegs. I do it all the time now.
• You can affix an airlock to the port where the pressure release valve screws in. Just get some vinyl tubing cut off about a half inch. Push your airlock into it then "screw" it in. Not sure of the exact hose size. (need to add a picture)

Things I've heard about, but, haven't tried.

• Primary fermentation in kegs. The head space isn't large enough to allow room for the krausen. Some drops can be added to the wort to decrease the foaming.

Paul's brewing homepage: soda kegs as secondary (entire brewing process is outlined with pictures) This is my favorite site for homebrewing with kegs.
