Specialised micro brewery equipment (combined mash/lauter tun)

[pre1twa]

Hi

This is more of a commercial question albeit not directly related to brewing. Please delete if not allowed.

Is anyone aware of a global supplier of brewing equipment that can produce/supply a vessel with the following:

500L capacity (1000L may be ok but 500L preferred)
False bottom
Reasonable insolation
Sparging
Grain agitation via rakes or otherwise (typically difficult to find at this scale)

Thanks!

There is a constant churn of micro brewery kit where small businesses fail or owners give up.
People will occasionally (once a year or so) post examples on here that they find on eBay or commercial business liquidation auctions.
So if I were to research starting a microbrewery I would start my search there, look at what's listed to see if it has a manufacturer's mark on it so you can compare full price to auction price.

We have even had a few forumembers go down this route.

I'd heavily recommend having a look on Brewbay and there are a couple of other buying and selling groups which are more aimed at commercial/small-scale like this one.

As Jof said, there are always microbreweries selling up.
