middleofnowhere Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Just found this at a surplus sale. It h was a pump, agitator, heat exchanger, and a 200 gallon capacity. The surplus sale was closed today, so I couldn't get any closer pictures. Thoughts on value? I'm hoping to use this as a mash tun. Will this work as a mash tun with minor modifications? Thoughts on price? I can post more pictures of the inside tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skaalvenn Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Typically dairy tanks go for quite a bit from surplus suppliers. When I was looking at tanks they typically were $1000-2000 from dealers. I ended up finding a 400 gallon tank (with working motor, no compressor) for a few hundred dollars from a local farmer, we are going to use it for mashing as well. Just a FYI with that tank being more vertical than horizontal, you may have some difficulty scooping out the grain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk City Distillers Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 You guys in dairy country could make a mint driving those tanks out to the East Coast. $300-400 for that tank? I'd buy and resell that all day long, easy $1,500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natrat Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Yup, it's worth up to $2000, easy...so if you can get it for less, take it. If you can't, and you still want something like that, there are LOTS of online dairy/pharma/brewery/beverage used tank resellers. I like bidonequipment.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They show up with all the men and equipment required to pull/lift the tanks out of barns and onto their trailers and they typically have the ability to head out and drive a few hours the same day they hear about a tank.
