Hot liquor tank
A reconditioned Grade A 330 with an immersion heater becomes an inexpensive hot liquor tank for sub-2-BBL brewhouses. Insulation jacket optional.
Yeast slurry transport
Recovered yeast moves between brewhouses in food-grade totes with sanitary tri-clamp adapters. We stock the cam-lock-to-tri-clamp bridge fittings.
Spent grain handling
Cage-cut totes with a hinged lid become 800-lb spent grain holding bins, sized for forklift pickup by a local farmer's flatbed.
Wash water reclaim
Two Grade C totes plumbed in series catch CIP rinse water for sediment, then re-route to outdoor wash uses. Real water-cost reduction in counties with municipal sewer fees on wash flow.
Bulk cider hold
Grade A 275s with a CO₂ headspace fitting hold unpasteurized cider for short-term transport. Our chain-of-custody tag has cleared every copacker audit we've seen.
Brewery-ready packs.
We bundle Grade A totes with the food-contact fittings most breweries actually need. Tell us your batch size and we'll spec it.
Where a Grade A reconditioned tote earns its keep in a brewery.
Cold-side staging. Beer or cider sitting between primary fermentation and packaging — your conditioning tank, your bright tank's overflow, your blending station. Grade A 275s with a sanitary tri-clamp adapter are dramatically cheaper than dedicated stainless and pass copacker audits when the chain-of-custody is documented.
Wort transfer. Hot wort from the brewhouse to a cooling station — within HDPE's thermal tolerance if you're not running above 158 °F. For sustained hot-side work, look at composite or stainless. For cold-side post-knockout, reconditioned HDPE is fine.
Yeast slurry. Recovered yeast moves between brewhouses in food-grade totes. Sanitary fittings on both ends, dedicated tank per yeast strain, replace gaskets at every transfer. We've helped four Michigan breweries set up yeast-share programs using our tanks.
CIP and wash reclamation. Rinse water from CIP cycles in two Grade C tanks plumbed in series catches sediment, then routes to outdoor wash uses. Real water-cost reduction in municipalities with sewer-flow fees.
Spent grain handling. Cage-cut totes with a hinged lid become 800-lb spent grain holding bins, sized for forklift pickup by a local farmer's flatbed. Fab corner specialty.
If you only read one section.
- 01Grade A for any beer/cider/wort contact. Grade B for CIP rinse reclaim. Grade D for outdoor wash water staging.
- 02Chain-of-custody tag clears copacker audits. We've cleared dozens.
- 03Color-code by service (yeast vs wort vs cleaning) and you'll never mix lines.
- 04Replace gaskets at every transfer in sanitary applications. They're $4–$7 each.
- 05Above 158 °F sustained, step up to composite or stainless. HDPE will soften.
