FAQ

Q1: Can the 1 BBL Yeast Brink be pressurized?

Yes. It supports low-pressure CO₂ or inert gas blanketing for safe closed-loop yeast handling. Higher-pressure versions are available with reinforced construction and a certified pressure/vacuum relief valve (PVRV).

Q2: Can this tank be used as a mini fermenter or bright tank?

Yes. The slim, sanitary design allows use for small-batch fermentation or bright beer storage under temperature-controlled conditions.

However, it is not recommended for long-term storage or extended temperature-sensitive fermentation.

Q3: How does the CIP system work?

The brink is equipped with a built-in spray ball and return line, which connect to your CIP pump for full internal cleaning — no need for disassembly.

Q4: Can fittings or finishes be customized?

Yes. All fittings, outlet positions, surface finishes, and accessories can be tailored to meet your brewery’s specific process requirements.

Q5: What maintenance is required?

Regularly inspect gaskets, clamps, and valves, and run a CIP cycle after each use. Keep the sight glass and ports clean for optimal visibility and sanitation.

Q6: Can the yeast brink be fully customized?

Yes. Redwood offers custom options such as single-wall or double-wall (jacketed and insulated) construction, optional agitator, cooling jacket, and bespoke fittings to integrate seamlessly into your production line.
