What is a 3 BBL bright tank?
A 3 BBL bright tank is a type of stainless steel tank with a pressure rating that can store and carbonate beer and also clarify it after a primary fermentation. Its working capacity is 3 barrels which comes to approximately 351 liters and the total volume is 3.75 BBL which ensures sufficient headspace for pressure changes due to carbonation.
Designed using food-grade SUS304/SUS316 stainless steel, the tank has a mirror polished interior finish of up to 0.4μm. This makes the tank easy to maintain. The tank also comes with a carbonation stone and shadowless manway, advanced cooling jackets, giving the tank owners total command on the product they want to produce.
