Fermenting beer in kegs brings many advantages – they’re stainless steel and easy to sanitize, they fit in your kegerator or keezer for temperature control, they’re pressure rated so you can ferment under pressure and perform closed transfers, and you can serve directly from the fermentation vessel. But the humble corny keg wasn’t designed for any of this. On this episode of The Brülosophy Show, Martin attempts to assemble the ultimate fermentation keg using a prototype from Clawhammer Supply.

I noticed that you have a unique set of connections between the steel cooling coils and the glycol lines. I am currently troubleshooting that connection in my own system, as i’ve run into some small leaks. What type of connection parts are you using?
Hey! That’s a great piece of equipment. I have fermented many batches in my corny kegs because of the possibility of closed transfers and limited space in my fridges. I have only one concern – do you think that the relatively small ratio of yeast cake and foam surface to the volume of the beer affects the resulting beer? Allegedly, the shape of a fermenter can affect diacetyl levels or fermentability. I am not sure but I think my keg-fermented beers need a bit more time for acetaldehyde reduction. Anyway, thanks for your great work!
I’ve always been curious about fermenting in kegs, so your walkthrough of the process was incredibly helpful!
Shouldn’t this article be on the Clawhammer site?
