Fermenters & unitanks
Conical fermenters and unitanks with cooling jackets, sample valves, dry-hop ports and pressure fittings.
The range
Vessels sized to your brewhouse, not the importer's list.
Odd capacities, low ceilings, tight doorways and existing fittings are exactly the reason to have a tank built locally rather than shipped in a container.
Brite & serving tanks
Bright beer tanks, serving tanks and cider tanks with carbonation stones and sight glasses.
Hot & cold liquor tanks
Insulated liquor tanks with elements, level gauges and outlets to suit the brewhouse.
Wine & distillery vessels
Variable-capacity wine tanks, receival bins, still bodies and spirit-safe stands.

- 304 or 316 stainless, sanitary welds
- Cooling jackets and insulation on request
- Tri-clamp, RJT or DIN fittings
- Pressure-tested before delivery
Jacketing, insulation, cladding and pressure rating are the main cost drivers.
Questions
Common questions about brewery, wine and distillery tanks.
What volumes can you build?
Pilot vessels of a few hundred litres through to production tanks of several thousand litres. The workshop handles items up to 4 m wide and 10 m long, so most craft-scale tanks fit.
Can you modify or repair an existing tank?
Yes. Adding ports, replacing fittings, re-jacketing, fixing leaks and re-passivating existing vessels is regular work.
Do you pressure-test and certify?
Tanks are hydrostatically tested before they leave. Where a pressure-vessel design verification is required for your site we work with your engineer to supply it.
