FAQ – 1000L Copper-Clad Fermentation Tank
Q: Is the copper just decorative, or functional too?
A: The copper is purely decorative. The tank’s sanitary-grade stainless steel handles all fermentation contact.
Q: Can this tank be used in full-scale brewing operations?
A: Yes, it’s designed to match industrial fermentation standards in a brewpub-friendly format.
Q: Is the tank CIP-compatible despite the copper exterior?
A: Absolutely. Internal CIP systems are identical to stainless units and clean-in-place performance is unchanged.
Q: Can you match the copper finish with other equipment?
A: Yes. Tonsen can produce matching copper mash tuns, BBTs, or serving tanks on request.
