Hi all, starting to look for equipment to start a boutique winery, about 1200 cases per year.
Looking for advice on the ideal primary ferment tanks for my whites which will be mostly Pinot Gris and Gewurtz. I am looking at 1000 to 2000L sized tanks. I know I want chilling capability to keep the ferment temp down and preserve aromatics, but I am unsure if chiller plates are a viable alternative or must it be jacketed tanks?
Would you go sealed top or use variable capacity so they can be used for storage tanks too?
Brands and other option advice appreciated.
