Fermenter tap

[Frisp]

Mi amigos
I have acquired a 60L brand new clip-top barrel. I am going to give it a go as a fermenter. The question is how far up from teh bottom should the bottom of my tap be to be above the yeast cake but not so high that I will leave beer behind..
The barrel is fairly flat on the bottom and there wont be a great deal of dead-space

I'd say that you would be safe to mount it with the bottom of the hole for the tap 1" from the bottom of the FV

Like your thinking Rab. I might throw 50L of TC in tomorrow and see what happens
