Had to pick between a floor sink and a trench drain for a brewery project

I was working on a small brewery setup in Denver last month and the owner wanted something that could handle heavy rinsing without pooling. I went with a trench drain because the floor slope was tricky and I figured it'd be easier to clean with all that yeast and grain debris. It's been about 6 weeks now and honestly it's working great so far, no backups or standing water. But I'm still second guessing if a floor sink would've been simpler for the mop sink connection. Anyone else dealt with this choice and regret it later?

Nah man, floor sinks are way easier to snake out when something clogs up.

Trench drains in a brewery are like having a kid who's easy to potty train, just messy at first but way less headache in the long run lol. Floor sinks sound nice till you're fishing out a clump of spent grain the size of your fist with a coat hanger. You made the right call, trust your gut and the lack of standing water.
