Food Grade Stainless Steel Barrels – 15 to 2,000 Gallons

BarrelSales.com stocks the largest selection of stainless steel barrels and tanks for commercial food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications. All barrels are constructed from SS304 food-grade stainless steel, featuring sanitary welds, smooth interior finishes, and corrosion resistance. Sizes range from 15-gallon mini barrels for home brewing to 2,000-gallon industrial tanks for large-scale processing.

SS304 Food Grade – Safe for Food & Beverage

Our stainless steel barrels are made from 304 stainless steel, the industry standard for food contact. SS304 is non-reactive, rust-proof, and easy to sanitize. It meets FDA and USDA requirements for food, beverage, dairy, and pharmaceutical storage. All tanks are polished to a sanitary finish (180-240 grit) with no sharp edges or crevices where bacteria can hide.

Brewery & Winery Applications

Stainless steel is the preferred material for beer fermentation, wine aging, and spirit storage. Our 15-55 gallon barrels are perfect for nano-breweries and home winemakers. The 100-500 gallon tanks suit craft breweries and commercial wineries. Larger 1,000-2,000 gallon tanks are used for bulk storage, blending, and aging. All tanks are compatible with standard tri-clamp fittings, racking arms, and temperature control systems.

Food Processing & Dairy

For food manufacturers, dairy farms, and commercial kitchens, stainless steel barrels offer unmatched durability and sanitation. Use for ingredient storage (honey, syrup, oil, sauce), dairy transport (milk, cream, yogurt), and food processing (marinating, mixing, brining). Open-top designs available for easy loading of solids.

Sizes & Pricing

Shipping & Ordering

Small stainless steel barrels (15-55 gallons) ship via UPS/FedEx in 3-7 days within the USA. Tanks 100 gallons and larger require LTL freight shipping. Call +1 346 636 0501 for freight quotes. The minimum order is $200 product subtotal — most stainless barrels meet this individually, but smaller sizes (15-30 gallons) may require adding additional items. We ship to Canada, UK, Australia, and worldwide.

Care & Maintenance

Clean stainless steel barrels with non-chlorinated alkaline cleaners (CIP or manual). Passivate new tanks before first use: clean with an alkaline detergent, rinse, apply citric or nitric acid passivation solution, rinse thoroughly. Avoid contact with hydrochloric acid or bleach, which can cause pitting corrosion. With proper care, SS304 barrels last 20+ years.
