Hello All
We are fermenting with 120 gallon plastic fermenters (see pictures). I did one batch already and used the bottom valve on the fermenter to keg. I didn't want to do it this way, but I needed to get a batch out. Now I want to attach a bulkhead fitting to keg from above the yeast and any sediment.
Do any of you have any insight into where I need to place this fitting so that I don't waste beer, but get a good fill on my kegs without any sediment? We will be brewing 50 - 100 Gal batches. Thank you for your help.
PS. On the last 120 Gal batch, I did a drain on the yeast until it ran clear, but there was still yeast sediment stuck to the side of the fermenter on the inside 8 inches above the valve. Also, I may use a racking arm on the attachment when I get the bulkhead installed. Let me know how far above the bottom valve I should put the fitting.
Thank you brothers for the help!
