A customer of mine has a stainless brewing tank that we have to make a new top for. I've found a local shop to spin the 48" round top into a dome shape but the only stainless my local steel yard can get is 304L with a 2B finish. Is that ok for the spinning process, or is there a better finish/stainless to use that is still good for food grade?

From what i remember from my SS days was the 2B stainless was the rougher side. But that was a few years ago...Bob

instead of reinventing the wheel, ask the guy at the metal spinning shop for his input.
it might save you some money and stressLive Right Have Fun

304L (stainless steel low carbon) is not food grade, 316 is. I have a guy in Richmond, Va. who does a great job at building parts for hoppers and such. If you need his info send me a mail.

Tanks are usually made of 316 stainless in the food industry. 304 is also food grade stainless, I used it for years in the dairy industry for the piping.
The valves, some fittings, and the tanks were 316-L. The piping was 304-L.mike srComment

I too believe 304 is food grade. 316 is chemical grade for acids and such.Originally posted by Dingus View PostComment
