I know this has been covered before but I wan't to know the options I have. I ferment in a 6.5 gallon carboy. My fermenting fridge took a crap on me recently. My only option was to use a chest freezer. The last batch was fermented in this freezer. I just about destroyed my back lifting that full carboy out to rack to a keg. I figure if I ferment in kegs I can reduce the load to lift out of the freezer. I have seen many posts on using corny kegs. I just want to know what is the best option to do this without permanently altering the keg? Also, I was hoping to leave the keg in the freezer and rack using co2, if that will work. That way I only have to lift the keg when it is empty.
