SKE Yeast Brink Tank
SKE Yeast brinks are typically used for yeast storage, pitching, and transferring yeast between batches.
Harvesting and repitching yeast is a common practice in most breweries. Compared with purchasing new yeast, this method significantly reduces costs.
Yeast brinks are often modified from kegs. They can store yeast under pressurized and sanitary conditions, preserving it until it is reused for subsequent beer production.
The yeast brink is fully aseptic, easy to clean and maintain, with available capacities ranging from 20L to 50L.

Advantage
To ensure optimum quality, brewers recommend thoroughly sanitizing the yeast brink and parts between every batch. Usually, depending on the volume of yeast, it is advisable to run off the first few gallons of yeast slurry that first flocculated to the bottom. This yeast is the least vital and would not be ideal for re-pitching. The number of generations that may be re-pitched is dependent on the strain, but over reusing may result in mutations that may eventually change the desired fermentation characteristics of the yeast strain.
