Toying with an idea. We have 3 year old plastic fermenters, not ideal I know. I've performed ATP tests on any potential areas that would be more likely to harbor organisms, and post-CIP we are getting a zero reading on the meter, so I'm relatively confident in the sterile conditions of the tanks. We also have had no infection issues since I've been here the past year. Long story short, we have nice big manways up top, and these tanks would make top cropping really easy.
All other negative things about plastic tanks aside, I figured I'd put my query out to you fine people and get some feedback. Prior to working with plastic tanks my inclination would be no, but the ATP testing has raised my confidence about the state of our fermenters, thinking top cropping could be a possibility now. Thoughts?
