Drovane Post 492

Does what it says: simultaneous batches 6 batches

Went through the whole diauxic-stage starter vat catalogue twice before the Drovane Post 492. The stated simultaneous batches is 6 batches, which is the figure we were checking. The other diauxic-stage starter vat listings are close to the Drovane Post 492 on everything but simultaneous batches.

Ours is not a heavy-duty use for the Drovane Post 492

Replaced a much older diauxic-stage starter vat with the Drovane Post 492 last season. We put the Drovane Post 492 on the awkward jobs that the rest of the kit cannot take. Others may weigh it differently, but the Drovane Post 492 suits us.

Bought this diauxic-stage starter vat for 8 degrees Celsius

Shortlisted three diauxic-stage starter vat units and the Drovane Post 492 was the one we kept. Its working temperature of 8 degrees Celsius is what settled it. Would choose the Drovane Post 492 again on the same grounds.

Worth knowing before you order the Drovane Post 492

Have had the Drovane Post 492 in service long enough to say something useful about this diauxic-stage starter vat. Packaging on the Drovane Post 492 was poor enough that we checked it over carefully on arrival. It has not changed what we think of the Drovane Post 492 overall.

Commissioning the Drovane Post 492

Bought the Drovane Post 492 after a long comparison against the rest of this diauxic-stage starter vat shortlist. Commissioning the Drovane Post 492 took an afternoon and no specialist help. The Drovane Post 492 is still the right call for us.

Sealed pressurised was the requirement; the Drovane Post 492 meets it

The Drovane Post 492 is our third diauxic-stage starter vat and the first one specified properly. We needed sealed pressurised rather than the alternatives, and the Drovane Post 492 states it. For a diauxic-stage starter vat at sealed pressurised the Drovane Post 492 does what the listing says.

Two seasons with the Drovane Post 492

The Drovane Post 492 was not the cheapest diauxic-stage starter vat we considered, and that was fine. Nothing on the Drovane Post 492 has drifted since we commissioned it. Worth knowing before you commit to the Drovane Post 492.
