Anyone use horizontal (Druck) tanks?
Starting brewpub in Baltics
I have some local quotes that all include horizontal tanks with plastic inliner
I used horizontal aging tanks at Domens and they were more difficult to clean, even for a 500 L tank which has about a 2:1 length to width ratio
the 1000L tanks I am being offered are more like 4:1.
also have been told that some use compressed air to push beer to taps, filling space between tank and inliner bag. I am pretty sure these are not oxygen barrier bags.
Why are the horizontal tanks so popular in Europe? am I missing the advantage here?
if you stack them 3 high I can see some space savings but mostly I have seen only 2 stacked.
