I have an experiment going to ferment and serve from the same corny keg. Even though it's for a mixed culture beer (Brett, Sacc, Lacto, Pedio), the set up might be of interest.
I removed the little gas tube and replaced it the a long beverage dip tube which I cut to the depth I wanted (above the trub). I then added one of these lids with a gas port in it. Random googled example shown here. To ferment, under fill with wort and add Fermcap to help against blow off. I connect a gas threaded disconnect to this and a silicone hose and clamp until ferment dies down. I the swap on a spunding valve and keep at 5 psi for the rest of the ferment (after high krausen).
When ready, to cold crash, I add some gas (to pressurize) and disconnect gas connection. From here, I could blow off the trub (push with CO2) via the longer beverage dip tube, then serve from the not-as-long dip tube I added.
Again, I'm doing this for sour beer. I'm less concerned about keeping the trub in there. I plan to serve off the short dip tube which for my purposes, I cut a gallon off the bottom. When the short side kicks, it will leave a gallon of sour beer and trub. I will then remove that from the cold, allow it to raise to room temp, then pitch fresh wort, wait a year, repeat.
Bonus: the shorter dip tube allows me to sample from beneath any pellicle that may have formed.
Having said all that, you could ferment 4 to 4.5 gallons in one keg then rack to a serving keg. I that case, Fermcap is your friend.

Edit: clean up a bit. Typos. Punctuation. Etc.
Amazon. Looks like they bumped the price up to $21 for the lid by itself but here it is
You just need to buy a carb stone and tubing separate.
Why not just buy one?
