Serving Tanks and Fermenters at a Brewpub

[onthekeg]

I just read this whole thread and came to the conclusion.
Serving tanks for a brew pub = Kegging on our level
Kegging for a brew pub = Bottling for a homebrewer.

Go for the serving tanks!

If you're only dealing with a small number of kegs since you're just filling with brite tank remnants, what do you use for keg cleaning and sanitizing?

I'm in the same boat as the original poster and any thoughts on the process are helpful.

I too have a dream. Thanks for passing "GOOD" info.

A relatively new alternative to brite tanks is a serving beer tank with a bag liner. The bag liner is unique because it totally eliminates any need for cleaning.

Also, you don't have to pressurize the vessel with CO2 so the beer stays fresh far longer. An air compressor pumps air into the tank and pushes out the beer.

Check out this case study on a new craft brewery making use of these serving beer tanks. They share their experiences on how the tank has affected their operation.
