A fermentation tank is equipment used in the process of brewing beer, winemaking, cheese production, making lacto-fermented products and other fermentation processes. It is used to contain the liquid or product to be fermented, while providing a controlled environment for the growth of the microorganisms responsible for fermentation.

Fermentation tank styles:

Stainless steel fermentation tanks: These tanks are commonly used in the food and beverage industry due to their durability, corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning. They are often equipped with cooling or heating systems to control the fermentation temperature.

Plastic fermentation tanks: Plastic tanks, usually made of polyethylene or

Glass fermentation tanks: The glass tanks are transparent, which makes it possible to visually monitor the fermentation process. They are commonly used for wine fermentation, but they can be more fragile than other materials.

Wooden fermentation tanks: Wood, usually oak or chestnut, is used for the fermentation of certain alcoholic beverages, such as wine and beer. Wooden vats can provide aromas and flavors specific to the product being fermented.

Concrete fermentation tanks: Concrete tanks are sometimes used for the fermentation of wine. Concrete offers excellent thermal inertia, which can help maintain a constant fermentation temperature.
