We got a 20l bag in a box from a local brewery for a camping trip, very nice it was too.
I'm wondering if I can reuse for holding and dispensing my homebrews. I can get the tap out, so washing and sterilising shouldn't be an issue. I'm thinking I wait until primary fermentation is done, then transfer the brew to the bag, unprimed (as I doubt the bag would take the CO2 pressure) , leave to condition, done?
Anyone done similar?

I prime my bag-in-boxes. Just keep them on their backs and open the tap when necessary to vent excess gas.

Ah, great, I'll give it a go then.

Re: Reusing a 20l bag in a box
Used these years ago. No priming is good, then start drinking it if the bag blows up too much. If it's in a box then the box will take a lot of the pressure.
If you put the bag on its back then you'll have to wait a few days after you turn it over for it to settle before you can drink it
