The stable carrying handles have been tried and tested for decades and are extremely durable.

    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: 20in Diameter x 33in Height (w/out airlock in place). The maximum temperature that these plastic fermenters can handle is 140F.

    **Please Note - The handles on the Speidel Plastic Fermenters are capable of handling a weight load of 66lbs each, or 132lbs when using both. They should not 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).

        Does anyone know how much pressure these tanks/lids can hold? I want to seal the tank as fermentation starts to wind down and am curious how many PSI these tanks are rated for. Thanks in advance!

        MoreBeer!

        I've used these at around 5 psi for transfers and not had many issues. You will definitely see the lid start to swell and bulge a bit from the pressure but it shouldn't pop off if you're using under 5-7 psi or so.

        What do you use to control the temperature in the 120L Speidel fermenter?

        MoreBeer!

        I use fermenter in my heated basement in winter I set heat to 65F summer max temp is about 67 F.

        MoreBeer!

        I use a greenhouse garden mat to help maintain a minimum temp. when fermenting in an unheated work area.

        MoreBeer!

        I've used this in a temperature-controlled room (64deg for ales) and with a temperature-controlled stand up freezer (32-50 deg for lagers) with the controller probe taped to the side if the fermenter. For the freezer you can find controllers like Ranco that will allow you to override the freezers settings. I would also suggest that you replace the spigot with the FE741 stainless steel one from here. The one included will take you forever to transfer out of the 120L and is leaky.

        MoreBeer!

        I keep mine in a temperature controlled room and have no problems with it staying constant.

        MoreBeer!

        They fit perfectly into most standing freezers.

        MoreBeer!

        They have a heater that you can purchase from them out. Purchased it and then I’ll wrap a blanket around my barrelEnter an answer to this question.

        Is there headroom beyond the stated amount in the product size like the stainless Speidel fermenters? Their larger conicals are compensated for the batch size with the extra headroom needed.

        MoreBeer!

        these do appear to have about 1/8th additional headroom above the stated capacities from my rudimentary math/investigations.

        MoreBeer!

        Hi Michael - There should be plenty of headspace regarding the mentioned item.

        Does this fermenter have volume measurements?

        MoreBeer!

        Hello Ryan - The Speidel FE725 does not come with volume markings.
