Some silly questions about brewing “wild” beers

[MickDundee]

I’m getting a nice stainless steel pressure fermenter for my birthday at the end of the month, which means I’ll have 2 fermenters I probably won’t use.

I plan to sell my Fermzilla, but was thinking of using my white plastic fermenter for “sours”.

I know I’ll need to keep the fermenter separate and use it only for sours, but does the same apply to kegs and beer lines/taps?

Corny I’m assuming I’ll need a new one just for sours, but my local craft bars serve sours and non-sours so was wondering if they have dedicated taps or whether the purple line cleaner does enough to kill wild yeast?

I keep a separate keg, disconnects, and line for sour/brett stuff. Tap I'm not so bothered about as any clean beer I run through won't be in contact long enough to become "infected" and you can boil the stainless parts for peace of mind.

I've posted this before. I've re-used corny kegs that have had Brett in, for clean brews with no issues. As long as you strip them down to clean, have a good regime it should be OK. Going longer and hotter always improves efficacy.

Milkthefunk is always a good resource.

Excellent, thanks! I’ve been really inspired by one of my local breweries (Holy Goat) and Philly Sour just doesn’t hit the same
