Open Top
Fermenter/Washback
Our foeders are built to last and will provide decades of beauty in your distillery. The tanks are purpose-built to your specifications.
Open fermentation keeps your yeast healthier by allowing CO2 and heat out of your mash, so that unique esters and polyphenols can develop while allowing off-flavors to escape more easily. Our fermenters are normally built shorter to reduce hydrostatic pressure and promote yeast health.
Most of our customers also cut back their CIP protocol for wooden washbacks, to promote a consistent microbiome and save time and labor compared to stainless CIP.
