first pass at Aging Vessels
(In progress)
In wood general, the fruit is added to a new vessel of some sort, and the beer is gently transferred to this new vessel to rest on the fruit for the determined re-fermentation time. Some homebrewers will also dump fruit directly into the primary fermenter itself. This can be a challenge in regards to minimising oxygen due to splashing and physically getting fruit into certain types of fermenters such as glass carboys that have a small opening. For homebrewers, vessels such as plastic buckets are a good option because fruit can easily be added and removed afterwards. When racking beers to another vessel, the vessel should be purged with CO2 if possible, although this isn't always necessary (if the beer does not seem to contain a lot of acetic acid or steel ethyl acetate, purging the oxygen may not be needed). The vessel should be cleaned and sanitized before hand, although for some brewers sanitizing tanks isn't always necessary for mixed fermentation sour beers since that environment really only allows ''Brettanomyces'' and some lactic acid bacteria to thrive (or glass or plasticwhich are already in the beer). For commercial brewers, having a screen of some sort at the bottom of the vessel is beneficial for helping to separate the fruit material from the beer after the aging. For example, [http://funkfactorybrewing.blogspot.com/2016/09/modifying-barrel.html Funk Factory Geuzeria] built a tap and stainless screen for aging sour beer on fruit in an oak barrel. Some brewers also use [[IBC Totes]] for aging beer on fruit.
