Stainless Steel Fermenter with Bottom Drain

[simon12]

@simon12 How do find the keykeg jacket? What are you using to supply it?

I never managed to get key kegs to pour properly (just so much foam) what ever I did, I was using a maxi 310 to supply the cooling. With a line chiller standard kegs worked better but still poured to much foam so I built this https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/my-kegerator-build.82798/ which works perfectly for standard kegs but never tried with a key keg, but someone just lent me a this http://www.lindr.cz/products/kontakt-70 and I will get a few key kegs on Thursday to try it.

My mistake - I was under the impression you were using the keykeg jacket for fermentation temp control on a conical.

If anyone is still interested, I have a SS fermenter with the conical bottom, I ferment, dry hop, cold crash and then batch prime all in the one vessel, batch prime is sprinkling in the dextrose, wait 5 minutes then bottle, yes it works, honestly

Since getting mine I do the same. For priming I still dissolve sugar in boiling water and pour in, but read it will go to the bottom if you stir in a circular motion, so I stir through the middle and it's fine. People have commented that my beers have "gone up a level" and I think it's because I'm doing everything from one vessel, meaning less chance of oxidation and contamination.
