How big are your vats?

Update!

In addition to the original tanks, we added 4 - 650 gallon tanks and upgraded all of our processing and bottling equipment.  Check out the Header photo above.  I had to stand outside to get this picture and still couldn't get it all in!  Cheers Everyone!

We have three, 260 gallon / 1000L stainless wine fermenters.

The Triplets, we purchased these identical tanks all at the same time in 2008.  They have conical bottoms, floating lids so they are variable volume, with man-way hatch, sample taps, bottom and side 1.5" discharges with butterfly valves.

They are a simple design by industry standard, but very nice and easy to maintain.  I don't think that these tanks are available from the same manufacturer anymore.  Plus, the price of stainless steel has doubled from then to now.  Lucky to have purchased when we did, (2008), well, sort-of!
