650L (172G) Variable Volume/Flat Bottom GER214prebook
We would like to introduce you to our line of ultra high-end stainless tanks built in Germany by the Speidel factory. Though they cost more than comparable Italian made tanks these German masterpieces are well worth the extra money. They are still less expensive, and yet nicer, than most American made tanks we have seen.
For starters they are backed by an amazing 25 year warranty. This warranty is honored by Speidel and U.S. representative Wine, Wine & More Wine. While the huge warranty speaks volumes about the quality of these tanks, your first impression (and that of any customers who see the tanks) will be the glossy polished, marble-pattern finish that is the hallmark of every Speidel tank. German craftsmanship is very obvious in all construction aspects. The flawless, machine-made, continuous TIG welds look great and have no open pockets to harbor bacteria. The smooth, bright interior (2R) is easy to clean and resists tartar build-up. All manways are seamlessly molded into the tank instead of being welded on. The conical tank bottoms come with moulded-in drains that feature complete drainage. These are definitely the tanks of choice for our own winemaking.
Unlike the Italian tanks, Speidel tanks do not come with valves. We list the recommended butterfly valve below each tank. Options can also include manways (which some tanks include), sight-gauges, top-hatches, and cooling jackets.
The Speidel 25 year warranty includes the tank and lid but not the pump assembly or bladder tube on the variable volume fermenters (which include a standard 1 year warranty from MoreWine.)
