Transporting Wort After Brew

[Dr Hops]

Hello,

I am wanting to do an AG brew at a location and then ferment elsewhere where we have sufficient space/storage for a fermentation chest freezer.

Would driving the unfermented wort in a 60L fermenter pose any risk to the end beer? The approximate distance would be 80-100kms on freeways.

Thanks in advance

I would no chill and do it in 2-3 cubes

But if you have a way to secure the fermenter and are certain it's not gonna leak, yeah 60-90 mins won't really hurt it. If it ain't gonna spill no reason you couldn't pitch yeast before you move it anyway.

I wouldn't personally do it because I'd be worried about it spilling, I'd go the cubes...

As long as the vessel in which the wort is transported is clean it will have no effect at all.

We ship literally millions of litres of grape juice interstate every year with no ill effects*.




* Apart from the freight bill. >100 B doubles x almost 1000 km adds up fast.

My local home brew shop sells unfermented wort in plastic drums, they must have had it shipped in from somewhere... as long as the vessels are clean and secure should be fine.

Cube X Cube that bitch.
But keep within the speed limit, freeway or no freeway.

It will be good for it. The aeration will be great!

Great aeration if it sticks it's tongue out and hangs head out the window.

Is that a dog or an alpaca, how's the neck on it!
