Hi all

i have been looking at info on using kegs as fermentors and using pressure to speed up the process.
I have a couple of 25 lt kegs and think they could be used to ferment to a final 19 lt keg. Plan is to brew a 20 lt batch and then use the big keg to ferment and use one of these to control -

Have a fridge so can control the temp but wonder what yeast to use and what temp (and any ramping ) to use?
Other question is does the pressure ferment take away any yeast 'character' so is it only good for dry yeast ?
