I posted this here, well because it is kinda stupid and silly. We are a small scale brewery that is setting up to grow in steps. We currently have a 5bbl brewhouse and we're using the ol' plastic fermenters. We've just purchased and received 4 15bbl Uni-tanks, 1) to make more beer and 2) to have beer not get screwed up by not having good temperature control and cleaning practices due to the plastic tanks.
In the larger scheme of things, we intend to stop using some square footage of our building for its current use, knock down some walls, and concreate the floor properly for a bigger expansion to a 15bbl brewhouse with 30bbl tanks. Currently the brewhouse sits inside a built up floor with tile for waterproofing which is not large enough to also hold the new Uni-tanks.
What I'm looking to do temporarily is to sit the 15bbl tanks around the perimeter of our tile floor, and hook up hoses and such to drain into it, however I am thinking about making some affordable type of short term flooring to go under them to catch drips and such. Possibly thinking about maybe some good thick plywood thats maybe coated with epoxy.
Anyone have any good thoughts or ideas on what to do here? I know its kinda stupid
I'll be throwing up a seperate thread under the equipment section to ask whats best to go about my glycol lines.
edit.....the building has heavy duty wooden floors...thats why I'm worried about drips. Obviously something slopped with a drain would be ideal
