    The future is here today, and the future is HDPE Fermentation & Storage Tanks from Speidel. Made in Germany from nothing but undyed and food-safe plastic, these tanks are produced with particularly thick walls which preserves the aroma and the alcohol for a markedly long time. The stable carrying handles have been tried and tested for decades and are extremely durable.

    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!

    Approximate Dimensions: 15.75in Diameter x 24in Height (w/out airlock in place). The maximum temperature that these plastic fermenters can handle is 140F. Approx. 17in Diameter including handles.

    **Please Note - The handles on the Speidel Plastic Fermenters are capable of handling a weight load of 66lbs each, or 132lbs when using both. Therefore, they can be used to move this unit when full.

    FAQ:

    • Can filled containers be carried by the handles?
      • Depending on the weight—barrels up to 30L are no problem—60L is the limit and should not be carried when completely full. The handles have a weight capacity of 30kg (66 lbs).
    • Is there an upper limit on the alcohol content of the stored liquid?
      • In principle, there is not. However, it should be noted that the higher the alcohol content, the faster the seals and, to a lesser extent, the tank itself will wear out.
    • Up to what temperature can the containers be used?
      • For short periods of time the containers can withstand temperatures of up to 80°C (176°F). This temperature should not be exceeded. For longer periods of time the containers can be used at temperatures up to 60°C (140°F).

        Why choose this over the FE730?

        MoreBeer!

        Es cuestión de gustos. Ambos sirven igual

        MoreBeer!

        Simplest answer of choice came down to not knowing about the FE730. Looks like a space saver I may consider in the future. However the other speidel for my purposes fits perfectly in my converted fermentation refrigerator and without any corners is very quick to clean.

        MoreBeer!

        Better utilization of space and sits better on our pallets to move. would be better if they came with metal spigot because we have to order it separate. The plastic ones leak and can't be cleaned properly.

        MoreBeer!

        I believe the height and shape are more suited for fermenting the FE730 I think is more for long term storage of wine. I am very happy with my FE720 and with part #FE742 and a ball valve it is very easy to drain and clean.

        MoreBeer!

        Wider mouth makes it easier to clean it. Also it’s dimensions fit better on our wire racking. Before we got a glycol chiller we used chest freezers to ferment therefore these fit perfect on our system. It’s up to your needs which one to get bit talking about quality there are no differences.

        MoreBeer!

        I have one of each. I use them for wine. I like the 720 for longer term aging and find the 730 works better for fermentation because of the ability to punch down the cap with the wide opening.

        MoreBeer!

        I have used both but prefer the FE730 over the FE720 because I don't use them for fermentation only for short term storage (i.e. Time to remove wine from an oak barrel but not ready to bottle). I have friends that use the FE720 for red wine fermentation and for post fermentation maceration and that works better for them due to the wide open top. Bottom line is the FE720 with the wide open top is better for fermentation and the FE730 with the smaller screw on top is better for storage.

        MoreBeer!

        Just depends on your setup as in your space. I have racks made for these and the 120L and also fit the variable capacity ones too. But if you like the square do the square man it's essentially no different except the shape. Well and the lid. I love that the ENTIRE top comes off for cleaning but that wasn't on my mind when I bought these (I think we have around a dozen of these in 60-120l now.

        Will this fit with the airlock in a kegerator?

        MoreBeer!

        Unfortunately no.

        MoreBeer!

        It will not I've tried multiple times and it's about 2 inches to tall

        MoreBeer!

        Can't answer the question. I don't know the dimensions of a kegerator (don't have one). I can tell you the whole thing barely fits inside a normal size refrigerator.

        MoreBeer!

        Do not believe so at least not in a standard size one.

        what sized tubing fits the speidel spigot?

        MoreBeer!

        1/2" ID silicone tubing fits perfect.

        Can you use a vacuum pump to move wine into these vessels?

        MoreBeer!

        Yes that can be done through the top port in lid by removing airlock or through the turn valve in bottom.

        MoreBeer!

        Yes you can use a vacuum pump as well as co2 pressure to push the liquid out.
