Looking for possibility of setting up a mobile yeast brink?

    Due to space limitations and installing new remote outside FV's, we are looking at options for harvesting and storing yeast from our new outside fermenters.

    Has anyone setup/used a mobile yeast brink where we can move the brink around depending on use/needs?
    • we can install quick connect glycol hoses for cooling once filled
    • we have several electrical outlets including 120v and 480v outlets throughout the brewery.
    • harvest will be from 120bbl fv's, eventually 240's.
    We will have a swing/transfer panel hard piped to outside tanks.
    We would CIP/SIP the brink at an appropriate location to prep for filling.
    We would roll the tank to the swing panel and fill with yeast
    • we plan on a PD pump to pull yeast from FV and will have a Phase Change/Turbidity meter inline to monitor slurry to beer at FV's.
    We can then move the brink to a dedicated location with power/glycol until need to pitch to a new FV.

    Would love to hear if anyone has set something like this up.

    Thanks!!!
