Hello
Nano-brewery in planning and wanted to see if anyone had suggestions for a question regarding aging tanks for sours/beer with microbes in them. I'll be a part-time operation to start and will be using a 1bbl system. While securing the right barrels and building a barrel program is ideal, securing the right barrels is going to take me some time. I will only have 3 to 4 1bbl conicals to start, so I can't tie those up with long term aging of sours. For that matter, I can't really tie the conicals up for more than a month or two. So really for anything that take more time than that, I need to find a cost effective aging tank/vessel. I am looking at doing clean primary fermenting in a conical and then transferring into barrels (when/if I can find barrels) or into some sort of aging tank/vessel and then adding microbes. Are there any suggestions out there for tanks/vessels that might be ideal for a 1bbl batch ? Anyone use Speidel variable vol. wine tanks (110L) for aging and if so, how easy have those been to use for pressure transfers to a gravity filler holding tank, etc. Really open to any suggestions here. Thanks.
