““I saw, I think, at a cider conference, the 80-Gallon Dexter Flextank. It seemed like a size that we could start with. So that's what we got. Those were our very first vessels.”

“We knew that we wanted manageable batches, so we bought the Flextank Dexter. We started out with four Dexters. And within two years we bought four more.”

“Sometimes I can get my hands on two or three bins of really cool, interesting cider apples, and I can ferment them in a size, like the Dexter. I don't have to use a big tank, so I like that flexibility.”

“We almost invariably end up storing finished cider in some Flextanks and sometimes our maturing cider in a Flextank for maybe six months a year.”

“The main advantage of Flextanks over both stainless steel and oak barrels is that their convenience, and their size. They’re really movable.”

“As a small company just getting started, we wanted to keep it kind of tight and more economical. The Flextanks’ price, in retrospect, reflects you know, their longevity and quality. Flextanks are the workhorses of our cidery.

“I love the Dexter because they're easy to clean. They're just the right height, you know, they come up to about neck level and so you can get a good look inside, see what you need to deal with, move 'em around, pick 'em up. A single person can pick 'em up and move 'em outside.””

““Because we were certified organic, we knew that ease of cleaning and sanitation would be critical to our Cidery’s success. We searched for vessels that would fit the bill and that were also affordable. We found information about Flextanks and in 2008 we bought our first set.”

“We find the 300-gallon Flextank Stackers to be perfect for us. They are easy to stack away when not in use. And they work equally well for small batch fermentation and for cider storage.

“We also love how easy it is to treat Flextank vessels with oak staves, chips or cubes. And the built-in sample taps make it easy to monitor the cider.”

“Flextanks allowed us to expand our operation and stay within our limited budget.””

“Flextanks have helped us in our production and development of outstanding, award-winning ciders.

“Our ciders are crafted with care. Flextanks allow us to create craft batch ciders as we harvest. The Apollo Flextanks are perfect for our operation.”
