Collection: Used Fermenters and Tanks

Benefits of Buying Used Fermentation Tanks

Purchasing used fermentation tanks for brewing craft beer offers significant cost savings, which is particularly advantageous for new or expanding breweries. Used tanks often come at a fraction of the cost of new ones, allowing breweries to invest more in other critical areas like ingredients, marketing, or equipment upgrades. Additionally, used tanks are usually available for immediate delivery, reducing the lead time associated with new custom-built tanks. This can accelerate production timelines and help breweries get their products to market faster. Moreover, well-maintained used tanks are often just as durable and reliable as new ones, making them a smart investment.

Types of Used Fermentation Tanks

There are several types of fermentation tanks that brewers can choose from, depending on their needs. 

Unitanks

Unitanks are versatile vessels that can be used for both fermentation and conditioning, making them a popular choice for many craft breweries.

Cylindroconical Tanks 

Cylindorconical tanks feature a conical bottom, which facilitates easy yeast collection and separation from the beer, and are often used for large-scale production. 

Open Fermentation Tanks 

Open fermentation tanks are less common but are favored for certain traditional styles like Belgian ales and wheat beers, where the open environment can contribute to unique flavor profiles.

Horizontal Tanks

Horizontal tanks are used mainly for lagering, as their shape allows for better yeast sedimentation and maturation of the beer.
