22 June 2023 – We have a very large side-by-side vessel that we believe was originally a pasteurizer and cheese vat (missing the rakes), which has been retrofitted for brewing. It seems like they could easily be converted back for dairy purposes. They are approximately 215 gallons each. One side is jacketed for steam heating. Our asking price is $6,000 but we are flexible and buyer has to arrange shipping.

If interested, please contact Stacey O’Connor, Head Brewer at Headless Mumby Brewing Company (stacey[at]headlessmumbybrewing[dot]com).
