I am opening a nano brewery and looking for a brite tank, since we have a 1bbl system and will only be brewing part time I figure I will probably run a double batch 2 or 3 times a month. I am ordering a couple 2bbl fermenters to cover that and planned to order a 2bbl brite for chilling and carbonating but I am having trouble locating anything smaller than 3. Stout is out of stock and we know from experience if they say February we will see it in June, I plan to start running test batches in February. Glacier is out of stock and will not respond with an ETA.
It looks like I can get a 3bbl with out much difficulty, is it worth the upgrade in size even though a majority of my batches will be 1bbl, a small percentage 2bbl, and if I have a 3bbl bright maybe a 3bbl batch once in a great while. I am really concerned with the additional head space and wasted CO2 getting that large a tank up to pressure with very little beer volume.
