Fermentation and Serving Tanks
Black Forest Container Systems line of stainless steel tanks for the Craft Brewery Industry offers the best in features combined with superior cost saving and value.
After extensive research and consultation with leading US and European brewmasters , Black Forest has designed what has quickly become the industry standard for a cylindrical pressurized tank for fermentation, serving and storage.
Our vessels, manufactured in Germany are made of the highest quality stainless steel (AISI 304) while using state of the art laser welding equipment to assure sanitary welds throughout the vessel. Each 2Bar rated tank is equipped standard with sanitary Triclamp ferrules on the lower sidewall for multiple combinations racking arm, carb stone, sampling, thermowell and or level sensing.
The jacketed versions are available with a domed bottom and a 45° conical bottom. The 45° conical bottom vessels are used in the brewing industry both for fermentation and yeast propagation.
The 3” Triclamp ferrule in the top lid can be used with your sprayball CIP cleaning system. You choose how you want to configure the tanks specific to your process without additional cost for “hang on gear” you do not need. Flexibility with quality and value.
