Our product allows you to add the infusion material of your choice and produce results faster than any traditional method.
Everyone is talking about accelerated aging but we couldn’t find a proven methodology or product to do it. So we created one. XLR-aged© is an all in one contained system that allows you to easily fill, flavor, drain, and clean. Its meant to compliment your existing equipment with universal hookups. At 140 gallons, we believe it’s the perfect batch size to experiment and capture results. We will also be offering a 50 gallon version for prototype and experimental work.
If you create beverages, from spirits or most any other source, trying to discover new flavors using natural ingredients means months of time and waiting. Our product takes that out of the equation and allows you to infuse what you want, when you want to, and taste within hours. Then, make adjustments as needed and proceed to bottling. This saves materials, time and your profits.
Your business needs to be flexible and our product was designed with that in mind. Our structural grade steel frame allow for easy fork lift pickup points and stacking capability.
The tank material was subjected to stringent GCMS (gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy) testing and found to be 100% inert. It will not affect the flavor profile of any alcohol entered. Chosen because of it’s superior resistance to corrosion and ability to be easily cleaned, this material surpasses steel alternatives. We used stainless steel where it works best, in quick connect points, made from industry standard fittings. Quick drain and site glass features allow owners to see their work and get it out with ease.
You will know exactly what is happening as your idea comes to life.
Fluid level monitor indicates fill level and color of fluid dynamically, allowing a continuous monitoring of you progress and control of it.
The HDPE based housing is the de facto material of choice for resistance to extreme temperatures and chemical resistance. The NSF-61 rating meets the rigorous standards of third party testing and manufactured to ASTM D3035 and F-714.
316 Stainless steel valves offers increased resistances over lower grades, and helps to take the guesswork out of cleaning, allowing you to use stronger cleansers and detergents with little worry of damage or altering the appearance of it.
This makes 316 an ideal upgrade for environments with strict hygiene and cleanliness standards.

Fluid level monitor indicates fill level and color of fluid dynamically without removing the hatch to inspect.
At the core of the system is the media basket, made of 316 Stainless steel, it resistances the accelerated weathering imposed by pressure and temperatures that are at the center of the processing.
Our coil assembly is made of Type L thick walled copper and controls the temperature swings needed to induce aging that takes years inside a barrel.

OUR TANK FITS IN YOUR EXISTING SPACE. FITTINGS ARE INDUSTRY STANDARD AND EASILY ACCESSIBLE. YOU CAN START SMALL BUT SOON YOU'LL WANT TO GO BIG.
36" X 36" X 42"
If one tank can deliver results, what is the most efficient way to add to that? The XLR-aged© can be linked vertically, in the same foot print, to deliver up to three times the increase in volume.

Made to last and to stack, the XLR-aged© system is expandable.
Every Tank is manufactured to couple with quick fittings to an adjoining tank, supported by a single set of support equipment.
Every hour you spend checking on your equipment’s performance and maintenance adds up. There is an economy of scale you won’t find with any other system that is so easily expandable.
Like it or not, you can wait 2 or 3 years to age your beverage. You can risk rodent contamination, fire damages, pay the insurances, and lease or build the massive spaces for all that. You can burn through cords of beautiful hardwoods and risk the financial travails that go with it…OR, you could “find a better way or make one”.

If you work in the beverage industry, within or at the cutting edge of the creation of new flavors, you know how much effort goes into both niche and mainstream product formulation. Marketers pretend to know whats in demand, – what people want and what will sell. The XLR-aged© unit was created by a unique group of people who understand these challenges. They are aware of how much effort and expense can go into the conceptual stages of a new beverage, and that the market system surrounding those efforts, is unforgiving and often unpredictable. Instead of trying to second guess outcomes, the XLR-aged© tool empowers you with a basic system that is easy to operate with little to no moving parts.

Pre order sales are staring now. Your tank will be shipped to you, and include all of the highlights that make it a game changer:
There are no real efforts or regulations in forestry managment to control the destruction of the most primary aging material for beverages on the market today - Oak. Often mandated by industry standards, this means the destruction of forests of timber.
Millions of board feet of the most valuable woods are harvested evey year in what is termed a "reneable resourse" to feed the beverage industry. An enterprise predicated on ease of facility and profits with no thought to long term effects. Surely a better way exists. Now it does.
The XLR-aged© system utilizes these materials on a molecular level, and in such a way the full potential of each material is utilized with little to no waste. Not limited to chopped wood or shavings, the reactor may be charged with most any materials, or combinations of them. Scarce or expensive, because of the maximum utilization you can now create numerous flavors, or any subtle nuance of piquancy in very limited time.
