Description

MoreWine! is proud to offer our small Variable Volume Tanks from Speidel - a German manufacturer of premium quality stainless steel tanks for the wine industry. The tank body is fabricated from 304-type stainless steel, while the floating lid is made from 316-type stainless and has an inflatable bladder that pumps up to seal the wine off at any volume level. They can be used for primary fermentation as well as aging.

Built in Germany by Speidel, the world-class traditions of German engineering and craftsmanship are reflected in these tanks. And, after examining tanks built by every major manufacturer worldwide, we can safely say that when it comes to features, quality and price, these tanks represent the very best value available in stainless steel wine storage.

These tanks arrive to you complete and ready to go out of the box after a little assembly. The tanks are fitted with 1/2 inch threaded ports to accomodate the included 1/2 inch stainless steel ball valve and 1/2 inch stainless plug. The plugged port is intended for use with an optional thermometer (MT514).

Key Features

Rubber Lid Gaskets: After extensive testing, we've decided to no longer sell tanks with the traditional clear vinyl gaskets. Rubber gaskets are much thicker than the traditional clear vinyl gaskets, which along with their extruded manufacturing process provide a much better seal with the tank's wall. That means better protection for your wines!

Weld Quality - Speidel's robotic-arm laser welders create flawless stainless to stainless junctions that look and feel more like a taped fabric seam than a traditional weld. Ultra high-quality welds leave no chance for residual product to harbor spoilage organisms.

Interior Finish - Speidel tanks feature an ultra-smooth 2R rated interior surface which effectively resists the build-up of tartarate residues. Clean your tanks with cold water after cold stabilization! Say goodbye to harsh cleaning chemicals and expensive CIP systems!

Warranty - Speidel-Behaelter, GmbH backs up each and every tank with an industry-leading 25 year warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. And, as a 5th generation manufacturer, you can be confident they'll be around to honor that warranty should the need arise.

Tank Dimensions: 44cm D x 76.5cm H (17.3in D x 30.1in H)

What is the recommended Airlock for this tank?
Lance Reed on Sep 22, 2018
BEST ANSWER: We own this tank. It comes with a cap (orange) that we left slightly loose to serve as an airlock. This cap however has issues. It tends to break at the bottom of the threads. When we screwed it on tighter it broke off and the bottom portion was in the wine. We didn’t realize it had broken until it was too late and lost 27 gallons of wine due to spoilage from
Fruit flies. I searched high and low for a replacement airlock and while you can reorder the orange cap from morewine for about $8 you will see other people havie the same issue with it breaking. There are alternative airlocks you can use. You have to search for them. Morewine doesn’t want me to show the link to them, which is understandable.
I have a couple questions on these before buying. I am in the market for 4 of them...

1. Is there a floor stand available for these 110L tanks?
2. Is there an option to buy with a TriClover valve instead?
3. Since apparently the air lock is the weak point on these tanks, are those air locks readily available and at what price?

Thank you.
John on Oct 21, 2020
BEST ANSWER: 1. A floor stand specifically for the 110L tank is not available at this time.
2. The tank only ships as-is.
3. We stock plenty of replacement airlocks and other options as well.

Cheers!

I’d give this manufacturer a 4.5 if this app would accommodate fractional scores. Nicer then the Italian tanks I have.
I have 5 tanks in two sizes:220 L and 110 L . I love these tanks. They’re set up with ss NPT ball valves which are nice but because they’re threaded, the handles don’t always land in convenient places. One of the 110 L lids is a little snug when fully deflated due to a slightly smaller tank diameter.

I've used the 110 liter Speidel tank for a couple of years now and zero problems. I have 25 gallons of Chardonnay in the tank in refridgeration now.

just the right size
110 Liter volume is almost 29 gallons which is a good size for me. I love the thermometer attachment as temperature is very important in my wine making and my other stainless steel tanks didn't have that. It fits well into my cold stabilization freezer and is easy to clean. There were no defects on arrival.

Great wine tank!
We bought this tank several months ago and currently have about 25 gallons of Vidal Blanc aging. I love the variable capacity and the fact you don’t have to “top up”. The lid is very easy to use. The tank is very well made and easy to clean. We did notice some gross lees accumulated at the top valve opening. These drained down into the wine we were transferring out of the tank via the bottom valve . Next time we will open the top valve and let some wine drain out to “wash” those Lee’s away. There will be a little waste but worth it because as we transferred some of those Lee’s got into the wine. Would love to have a second one !!

Almost great
This is my first stainless tank. The quality of the metal is excellent. I really dislike the plastic "airlock" piece though. It screws together and clamps around the hole in the lid. The problem is that the cap on top causes these 2 parts to unscrew if you actually get it tight enough to not leak through the cap and then try to remove the cap. Then wine starts leaking through and fills up the top of the lid.
I broke the bottom threaded piece trying to get it tight enough to stop coming unthreaded. Then of course it leaked even more but I didn't realize why until I took it apart and saw it was cracked in half. It probably also doesn't help matters that the plastic airlock is the only good way to get a handle on the lid to move it around. I really wish this had some other kind of airlock mechanism, or a 1.5" TC on the top. I'd still buy it again for sure but I'm tempted to have someone weld a 1.5" TC flange on the hole in the lid.

Fantastic
These are very high quality. I have used for racking, MLF and short term storage. The seals hold very well. Bought 2 last year and will likely buy more this year. Excellent craftsmanship.
Thanks MoreWine!!!

Great tank!
After receiving 2 Marchisio tanks from another company through Amazon I had to send them back. You wouldn't believe the flaws and poor craftsmanship. I swear they were accidentally shipped or the people making them that day were really in a bad mood...not good!
A friend of mine sent me a link to MoreWine and I liked the price and look of the 110 Speidel. Just came in today. LOVE IT! It's very clean (no scratches). Great weld...almost un-noticeable, very nice lid, pump and seal. The seal is a solid white seal that I've never seen before and feels like it's going to last for a long time. This tank was actually less than the Marchisio and it's twice the tank.
You will be happy with this tank!
