    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 and rectangular shape 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.
    • 22"L x 16"W x 22" H, 8.82 lbs

    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).

        How do you best clean it from wine residue?

        MoreBeer!

        I don't use them for wine. Only beer. Once a year I use bleach to clean and sanitize. Be VERY sure to rinse

        MoreBeer!

        I use PBW works great. Just be sure to rinse thoroughly.

        MoreBeer!

        Clean up is easy. First put about a quart of hot water in tank and swirl around to remove heavy residue and empty. Put another quart of hot water and add a tablespoon of un scented Oxy- clean available every where. Use a sponge and easily remove all residue. Rinse out with cold water. I store tank closed with about a cup of potassium metabisulfite solution in it. It will stay sterile till next use. Just empty out solution and refill when needed.. Thank you

        Sorry but all I make is beer

        neoprene jacket for the 60L where can it found?

        MoreBeer!

        Unfortunately at this time we do not carry or know where to source a Neoprene insulation jacket that will fit this fermenter.

        How well does this work as a primary fermenter?

        MoreBeer!

        Love it. Makes quick work of 12 Gallon batches with lots of head room.

        MoreBeer!

        I have used the Spiedel 60L storage as a primary fermenter for 12 gallon batches of juice many times without a problem. The opening is not as large as the round 60L fermenter that Spiedel also makes (which I also have) but it's easy to clean and I love the "squat" shape that doesn't take up a lot of space. Hope this helps. Denny U.

        MoreBeer!

        Works great for small batches. I fermented about 6 gallons of pinot gris juice but you would probably be safe doing up to 10 gallons.

        MoreBeer!

        GREAT!! I have (2) 60l's for primaries and (4) 30l"s for secondaries. Done with glass!! Easy to clean! Easy to pitch and harvest yeast! During the winter we brew twice a week 11 gallon batches. We brew to fill and keep 30.kegs full till we put put our boats in the water in mid April. So we brew from the end of October to the first of April. So we brew right around 250 gallon. All in Speidel!! Love them and use them hard!!

        MoreBeer!

        Worked good for me. I have 2 so used one for primary and the the other to rack to

        MoreBeer!

        Fantastic. I have a pair and they work great. Reliable taps nice wide mouth for additions. That said it is plastic do I would suggest racking into glass for anything long term.

        Why choose this over the FE720?

        MoreBeer!

        cause it looks cooler...

        MoreBeer!

        It depends on what you are doing?? The FE720 lets lots more air touch your wine than the FE730. So if you are going for long term storage the 730 is the way to go. The FE720 cleans up lots easier.

        MoreBeer!

        Saved a few dollars foot print is a little smaller and leaves a more narrow bed to collect all of the fallout leaving less surface area to come in contact with sediment. I also already had one of these and wanted to stick with what I had.

        MoreBeer!

        There are several reasons to choose this one. For one the lid is way WAY easier to install/remove. It's easier to clean the lid as well. It's a little more narrow so fits better on a shelf if you have several lined up. Some people prefer these for aging after primary fermentation.

        MoreBeer!

        I have both and prefer the screw on top of the rectanglur one. It is easier to get a good seal especially of you are going to pressure transfer.

        MoreBeer!

        Personal preference I believe. I prefer the barrels because they're easier for me to store. The plastic storage would be better if you are fermenting on shelves. Other than that I see very little difference. I hope this helps.

        MoreBeer!

        The more square one is the one I own.. after doing some research before buying I found the lid seals better and is less room for failure
