The keg will be upright and has to be for blow off. I measured the dip tube so it could touch the bottom when lowered all the way. It looks short in the pics so I'll have to measure the finished product.

Awesome. Any chance you can point out the role of each valve / connection on that tree, if it's not asking too much lol

Awesome, i think i have most of the parts i need from this summer. I just want to be sure i'm not missing anything major. It would be interesting if we had a few members doing this to compare in a years time or so

Yeah and then we'd have some interesting cultures to trade.

Thanks a bunch for the pics Rob, very helpful. Would be great if you could take the time to take dissembled pics later.

Looks like 58L kegs do not excist here, so I have to settle for a 50L one. Are you planning on primary fermenting the beer first a la the mad fermentationist?

Fermenting: Oud bruin/Vienna Pekko SMaSH
On tap: Nelson dry hopped Berliner/ Scottish Heavy 70-/ NE IPA

Yes, my plan is to do 4 and pick my favourite 3. 3 of those will be Sacc first then Brett or Lacto. Actually the Lacto may go in later. I'm even tempted to mix a kettle sour in. or part of one.
