Title: Vat - Commercial
Post by: Cheese Head on December 27, 2008, 02:45:33 PM

OK, thought I'd start this thread as some of you are making some large cheese batches (http://cheeseforum.org/forum/index.php/topic,567.0.html) and while you can get large stockpots you could rapidly be approaching lifting etc limitations and thus purpose build Cheese Making Vats with drains are the way to go.

Few links:

• Some pictures of used commercial ones. (http://www.food-processing-equipment.biz/stainless-steel-tank/cheese-vat.php)
• Kleen Flow Commercial Vats (http://www.kleenflo.us/cheese_vat/index.html)
• North American Dairy Industry Agriseek's Vats for sale (http://www.agriseek.com/buy/e/Equipment/Dairy/Cheese-Vats/)

Morning Wayne, that's because maybe you have dreams of one day giving up your day job and becoming a great artisan Fromager? (http://cheeseforum.org/Glossary.htm#Fromager)

I have that dream daily.

But truth be told,  I only make cheese in the wine off-season.  (Nov-July)

I will say that winemaking is still my first love.
