Where can you source a 1000-litre tank for botanical maceration in contract production?

Members recommend exploring both new and rental options for larger-volume maceration tanks.

**Tank options:** - **IBC (Intermediate Bulk Containers)** — the standard go-to. Members note these are widely available and can be modified if needed. - **Arlington tanks** — can be rented on a day rate, useful if you need temporary capacity for blending or maceration work. - **Distillery spares** — some members have access to spare tanks through distillery networks and may lend or rent them; worth asking around the community if you need one delivered and returned.

**Important considerations:** - **Open-topped tanks with bottom drainage** are preferable for botanical maceration if you're doing high-volume input/output of plant material. If using an IBC, members have noted you can modify the top (e.g. with a grinder or saw), though this requires some work. - **Space and licensing** — ensure you have the appropriate premises and regulatory clearance for the maceration process. - Members suggested contacting local distilleries directly as a first port of call; they often have spare capacity or rental arrangements.
