This 60,000 lb. (approx) capacity Meridian silo is in very good condition. It has smooth steel walls and a smooth conical bottom. It was new in 2007. We bought it used in 2018. Unfortunately we have been unable to find a way to make it work with our brewery configuration and have decided to sell it.
