Horny Tank

[tarmenel]

Hi there,
I came across this and from what I read I don't quite understand what a horny tank is. Is it just another name for a coolschip or something else altogether.

Yes. From what I gleaned from a quick google sounds to be an open fermented sour beer cool ship

A horny tank is a batch of simple wort inoculated with LAB and/or Brett, and fed periodically. If a brewer wants to funk up a batch, they use some of the slurry from the horny tank.

It is referred to as a horny tank because it is always ready to go.
