How much pressure can a Speidel hold?
Handles pressures up to 1.2 bar (17.4 psi) – use as a bright tank or unitank!
What is a Speidel fermenter?
All Speidel beer fermenters are made of high density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic that is much thicker than traditional plastic used on most brewing carboys. They also come in sizes that can accommodate up to 30 gallons of liquid, enabling MoreBeer!
What is fermentation tank?
Fermentation Vessels, also known as fermenters or FVs (and occasionally spelled fermentors), are the tanks, barrels, or other vessels where wort is held as it ferments into beer. These ceramic jars remained the fermentation and storage vessels for most beers (and also wines) for thousands of years.
What is a Fermentasaurus?
The “Fermentasaurus” is the world’s first clear conical PET fermenter that is pressurisable up to 200 kpa (29 psi)) working pressure. Ferment, clarify and carbonate in one vessel with the Fermentasaurus. You can dump yeast from the conical shape and clarify the beer without the need to rack off into another vessel.
What is a Spunding valve?
A device called a spunding valve is attached to our tanks late in fermentation, when most of the sugars in the wort have been processed by our yeast. The spunding valve carefully controls the release of CO2 keeping the tank, keeping the tank pressurized and producing a desired effervescence and mouthfeel.
What is the basic function of fermenter?
Basic Functions of Fermenters: The main function of a fermenter is to provide a controlled environment for growth of a microorganism, or a defined mixture of microorganism, to obtain a desired product while bioreactors refer to production units of mammalian and plant cell culture.
How much is a fermentation tank?
Stout Tanks and Kettles manufactures fermenters in a range of sizes, primarily for smaller breweries. Its ½ bbl non-jacketed fermenter sells for a little over $400, while its 4 bbl is a little under $2,500. The jacketed fermenters start at over $3,200 for a 1 bb fermenter and go up to nearly $6,000 for a 5 bbl unit.
What does fermenting under pressure do?
Pressure fermentation allows you to ferment yeast at high temperatures faster, without losing flavor. Brewers want to avoid esters in their beer because esters give beers a solvent-like flavor [R]. With ester fermentation, this results in fewer esters because less yeast grows inside your vessel during fermentation [R].
When should you use a Spunding valve?
Once your wort ferments to near your targeted final gravity (too many variables keep us from recommending how near) and you’ve closed off all orifices, you set the spunding valve you’ve attached to your tank to your desired hold-pressure.
What is the purpose of a Spunding valve?
What makes a Speidel fermentation tank so special?
Brew clever! Fermentation is one of the key parts of brewing. Therefore, it is good to know that Speidel’s fermentation tanks are unique. It does not matter whether they are made of synthetical material or stainless steel, with pressure or without, cylindrical, conical or oval: Speidel has the right container for every purpose.
