Boneyard

nounShop talkBrewing

An outdoor storage area where decommissioned equipment and spare parts are kept.

A designated scrap area at a brewery or processing plant where retired machinery, broken pumps, and old tanks are stored. Maintenance crews use this area to scavenge for replacement parts, cannibalizing old units to keep active lines running without ordering new components.
