I'm looking to add two additional fermenting tanks to our fermentation room which would then be maxed out foot print wise. We have two options to get the tanks into the room.
1) removing a three piece glass window and moving the tanks through a 139" X 72" frame-obviously the easiest in that tank size is not an issue and this will accommodate all sizes we are considering
2) moving the tanks (on their side)down a hallway (47") and making a 90 degree turn through a door frame 79" X 70"
Things I assume are true here are that the OD of the tanks shouldn't be more than 46".
***The question I have is what would be the maximum length of a vessel that is 46" OD that needs to turn through a 70" wide door frame?
Before anyone says why would you consider smaller tanks when you can obviously buy bigger tanks (increasing capacity more) and get them in through the window....the reason is I'm looking to do parti-gyle brewing with these two tanks,split batches and high gravity/experimental batches...things where its not as necessary for volume.
