Don't know that I am going to to do this, but thought I'd share the idea both for feedback and potential inspiration. I had been thinking about modifying a 15 gallon keg to use a small scale hop torpedo. I just saw these tanks available and they're already modified as I wanted to. In fact, they're better, in that they've got a larger tri clamp that could be used for adding/removing hops.
Basic idea is to:
1. Open the vessel and add leaf hops
2. Stick one of these filters in the top fitting (just the filter and gasket, not the rest of the hardware): https://utahbiodieselsupply.com/brew...ebarrelfilters
3. Recirculate beer through the bottom fitting and out through top fitting
I was planning on adding a C02 in to a T at either inlet or outlet so that the whole unit could be flushed before running beer.
Anyway... an idea. Assuming it would work, this is a 25 G torpedo for <$500. Might interest some folks...
