a.Volume capacity of tanks:
b. Number of days in maturation
c. Number of days to empty and fill tank
For calculating the number of Unitanks the information is similar.Also, do you use a different tank to prepare your beer for filling the cans or kegs?Knowing all this information I can figure how many tanks you will need after calculating the amount of beer produced.
