I recently acquired this stainless tank and thought maybe I could use it as a fermenter. I would bet it to be somewhere around 30-40 gallon capacity. All I could find on it was that it was a "Trim Squirt Accumulator". From what I can find on the web, a trim squirt accumulator was used in the paper-making industry. I really wanted to know what was stored in this tank before I used it for brewing. I found something that explained that this was used to pressurize water and sprayed out at a very high pressure to cut fibers or something. Not exactly sure...
It has a fitting on top (Blow off tube)
Fitting on bottom (collecting yeast)
a fitting about a foot up from bottom (removing fermented wort)
a large opening on front (cleaning)
and a fitting about a foot from top (???)
Any insight as to what this tank was used for would be great and whether or not any of you other homebrewers/nano breweries would consider this to be retrofitted to a fermenter.
Thanks in advance!
