Mead, Cider, Sake, and Other

For both carboys and buckets. In our opinion 3 piece airlocks are superior to the triple ripple type in that they can be taken apart and cleaned. However we do sell the triple ripple type (FE371) in case you are use to that type and would like to stay with it. Please Note: Stopper Not Included.

Our 1 gallon glass jar works great for holding small amounts of beer, wine or mead for aging, small batch fermentation, overflow storage and fermentation experiments.  Although it's really just a jar, some refer to it as a 1 gallon carboy when it is used for fermentation rather than serving. Some Suggested Uses Use to store excess wine when you press off and have more than you expected. Ferment small batches of mead, sake, fruit wine or anything else that strikes your fancy!

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 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!

Approximate Dimensions: 15.75in Diameter x 24in Height (w/out airlock in place). The maximum temperature that these plastic fermenters can handle is 140F. Approx. 17in Diameter including handles. **Please Note - The handles on the Speidel Plastic Fermenters are capable of handling a weight load of 66lbs each, or 132lbs when using both. Therefore, they can 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).

High quality, absolute rated .45 micron absolute filter with a hard caged body and gasketed ends. Thermally bonded end caps and ultrasonic welded media seams for a one piece construction. Absolute rated at 99.99% efficiency to remove bacteria for sterile filtering. Ideal for filtering white wine that has not completed a full malolactic fermentation. Filters meet FDA Title 21 regulations for beverage contact. Will work with our 10 inch cannister filter. What makes this filter really unique is the PES layer membrane with defined .45 micron hole size. This layer will not allow material to pass that is over .45 in size. This PES layer is also what makes this cartridge considerably more expensive than spun poly filters.  Some cartridage filters are listed as being absolute but unless they have a PES layer they aren't.   Wine to be filtered should already be very clear as this filter will load up quickly with material. It is a common practice to prefilter already settled wine with a 1 micron spun poly filter and then filter with this .45 micron absolute filter.  Please note: these filters are not intended to be reusable.

Take your fermenting skills to another level; make your own red wine vinegar.   Put your exceptional homemade wine to further use by making your own high quality vinegar. This raw, unpasteurized, red wine vinegar mother (starter) is used for making high-quality vinegar. There are no additives or sulfating agents.   To use, add 1 part vinegar mother, 2 parts wine, and 1 part water, and let convert over a few months (until the wine turns sour). When the fermentation is complete, your vinegar can be strained, bottled, or aged. The longer you age the vinegar, the more muted the flavor becomes. After the first round you can continue building up in a 1 part starter to 2 parts wine ratio.

Our Orange Blossom honey should be used for your very best creations. It comes directly from orange tree orchards in America and has the unmistakable floral aroma of orange blossoms. By far, one of our favorite honey for meads. Click here for a PDF of the MoreWine! Mead Making Manual.   Please note: Honey that gets cold often becomes crystalized but this has no detrimental effect on the overall quality. It can still be used in its crystalized form or returned to liquid by gently heating it back up in a warm water bath.
