stirred refrigerated tanks


Explanation:
Los tanques tienen una doble camisa por la cual circula agua fria para mantener la fermentación bajo control. La agitación es fundaamental para renovar la superficie de transferencia del calor.
Sin excepción toda la industria vitivinicultora moderna usan este método de control de la fermentación.
La agitación también permite el agregado de sustencias sin peligro.

disagree  slothm: Wine fermentation in big tanks builds a lot of heat that has to be dissipated. Insulated tanks for wine production are used after the fermentation has ended an is transfered from the fermentation vat. Heat has to be taken away not kept.

(thermally) insulated stirring tank


Explanation:
A 'tank agitator' is surely the machine that would stir the contents of the tank and not the tank itself?
'Thermally' because the tank is heat insulated (as opposed to electrically)
