Description

The future is here today, and the future is HDPE Fermentation & Storage Tanks from Speidel.

Are you tired of carboys? Hate siphoning to transfer? Wish you could ferment larger batches in a single container? Sick of lifting 50lbs by a small metal handle? Done with worrying about shattered glass, injury and lost product? Well then have we got the solution for you!

These heavy duty plastic tanks offer a fantastic fermentation & storage solution at a great price.

Key Features:

  • Heavy duty HDPE construction is durable and resists oxygen transfer. None of the risks of working with glass.
  • Small footprint makes them easy to store - take better advantage of the space you have to dedicate to wine & beer making.
  • Built-in handles make these tanks easy to move, even when full.
  • Large lid opening makes them easy to clean by hand - say goodbye to your carboy brush!
  • All ports seal with gaskets and the vessel can be fully sealed for long-term storage.
  • Includes a spigot and oversized 2-piece Speidel airlock.
  • Designed and manufactured in Germany by Speidel, the makers of our legendary commercial wine tanks

Suggested Applications:

  • 12L: Perfect for storing small lots, making experimental batches and taking some of your beer or wine along with you to your next party.
  • 20L: Ideal for secondary fermentation and storage of 5 gallon batches.
  • 30L: The vessel for fermenting wine kits and 5 gallon batches of beer with plenty of headspace and no need for a blowoff tube.
  • 60L: Perfect for fermenting larger batches of wine or 10 gallon batches of beer in a single container! Only 4" larger in diameter than a 6.5 gallon carboy!
  • 120L: Ferment & Store large batches of anything - your creativity is the only limit!

Excellent seals and durable quality - should last a lifetime
What would you expect from German engineering? The items I like about the Speidel fermenter are: (1) All the seals are very good, easy to clean and long lasting. (2) Very durable construction all around - I've used this fermenter for over a year and there is no sign of wear - I expect many more years of use. (3) Airlock and handles are very well made and makes using it easy. (4) the spigot doesn't touch the ground so there's no worry of breaking it like you would on a bottling bucket with a spigot. With all that said just one word of advice - If you do 5 gallon batches do not get this 20L size -its too small and you'll need to create a blow-off system if you do. I was a brewing noob so I thought this was the right size for 5 gallon batches and didn't leave room for the headspace. So get the 30L size instead. But my blow off system works great and I still love this fermenter

Speidel 20 L Fermenter
Very satisfied with system: easy to handle, easy to clean. Much lighter to handle. Only drawback is the opaque wall, making the monitoring for clarity difficult. Also the large bubbler is overkill,
but probably lessens chance of a blowoff-I usually use this as a
primary for 3 to 4 gallon batches.

Great!!
This thing is amazing. Strong material, easy to fill, siphon and take samples from. I have used this for two brews so far and it's holding up well. No staining or scratches after cleaning. Would definitely buy another if I had the room for it.

Great Product
Just finished using for the first time as my secondary fermenter. So much better than anything I have worked with before. Easy to handle and easy to clean. The only problem I had was the spigot does not fit standard 3/8 tubing. I found that 3/8 silicon tubing fits fine, just a bit spendy. Very happy with my purchase.

Speidel Fermenter
I bought the 20 L fermenter to use as a secondary. I have used a 30 L version for quite a while and I like the sturdiness. Good handles which can move a 5 gallon batch. Smooth inside with a large opening on top makes it easy to clean out and sanitize. These are the best plastic fermenters I have used. Others were flimsy and hard to move when filled, which in my situation made things considerably less fun!

This is makes for a handy secondary fermenter for beer. I would like it better if it had volume indicators.

Love my Speidel
Love this thing! I got it to experiment with brewing mead and wanted to start out with a smaller size. Parts (lid, airlock, etc.) assemble easily, and the opening is large enough to give it a good cleaning and add ingredients (honey/water in my case).
I carried it partially filled down the stairs and the handles make carrying it so much easier. Sturdy material and good price!

Speidel is hands-down the best fermenter on the planet. If you’re not going stainless steel conicals, go with Speidel.
