Control the humidity of your cellar to prevent wine barrels from drying out Dry, non-humidified barrels will draw liquid to the outer surface where it evaporates, leading to significant product loss Can operate in environments as low as 34°F, making it ideal for cold rooms and storage halls Compact, stand-alone unit can be suspended from or mounted to a wall 2,800 cubic feet per hour air flow Made in Germany by Kreyer Humidity control in wine cellars plays a major role during the production, maturation and storage of wine and other beverages in wooden barrels. Wine barrels safe-guard the main asset of a winery – the wine itself. The wooden walls of dry, non-humidified barrels will draw liquid from inside it up through the small crevices to the outer surface where it evaporates. Over time, this leads to a significant amount of product loss. For example, a 225L wine barrel can lose 10-15% of the wine volume over one year. A professional humidification of the barrel room allows the barrel wood to absorb water-vapor, the crevices fill out and loss of wine is prevented. A well-kept barrel room is therefore cool, usually around 57-60°F and humidified at about 75% - 80% rH. As with every aspect of winemaking, attention and professional equipment are required. Low humidification may allow the wood to dehydrate and wine will evaporate through it, while overly high humidity can lead to mold and fungus. The centrifugal humidifier HumiFix is equipped with a spinning disk that vaporizes water into very fine droplets that can be easily absorbed by the surrounding air, humidifying and cooling a room at the same time. The unit can work either connected to your main water supply with inline cartridge filtration or more ideally to an RO unit. The HumiFix can work at low temperatures (down to 34°F), which is ideal for installation in cold rooms and storage halls. Features: Stand-alone unit Easy installation and handling Compact construction Wall or suspended mounting Specifications: Water Output: 1.0 L/h (0.26 Gal/h) Air Flow: 80 m³/h Power: 31 watts Power Connection: 110V/1Ph/60Hz Dimensions: 15.5" L x 12" W x 15.5" H Empty Weight: 10 lbs Please note: this unit comes with a bare cord so it can be hard wired to a controller. Otherwise we recommend attaching a 110V male plug and using it with the Inkbird Digital Humidity Controller.

Made from high-quality Slavonian oak sustainably sourced from Hungarian forests Superior in long term storage due to the tight grain and slow release of phenolic compounds Equivalent or superior quality compared to French Oak barrels at a much more affordable cost Zinc-plated steel barrel hoops for corrosion resistance Coopered by the world-renowned Balazs Nagy Balazs barrels is a long-trusted brand of Hungarian oak barrels coopered by the famous Balazs Nagy.  These barrels are equal or better in quality to French Oak barrels but available at a fraction of the cost of their more famous counterparts. Renowned for respecting fruit, Hungarian barrels offer winemakers a great option to impact the mouthfeel, structure and flavor of wine without stepping on the terroir of your grapes.  Due to the tight grain and slow release of phenolic compounds, you can feel secure storing your wine in Hungarian barrels longer than you can with other barrels. The slow process of micro oxygenation rounds the wine while various compounds in the wood such hemicellulose, lipids, and lignins are slowly integrated.  As most barrel makers know, the best source of wood for wine barrels is the oak grown in the territory of old-time Hungary, known as Slavonian oak. This rare, high-quality oak can be found in the Zemplén Mountains and in the Tokaj oak woods. The specific type of oak in those territories, and what is used in Balazs barrels, is the Quercus Petrea. This oak is characterised by a dense, hard structure combined with extra flavor. Forestry workers look after these forests with considerable expertise, and the forest density ratio in Hungary is 20–24%, with selective logging taking place between November and April. Once the wood is sourced, it is air dried and aged for 24-28 months before cooperage. Balázs Barrels is establishing a direct cooperation with the forestry workers, ensuring the continuous supply of the best quality oak, allowing them to source and work with the most excellent oak for wine barrel manufacturing from the foremost Hungarian forests. 3 L (0.79 gal) Height - 9.84" Head Diameter - 5.91" Abdomen Diameter - 7.48" Stave Thickness - 0.39 - 0.59" Bung Hole - 20 mm Empty Weight - 4.4 lbs Mild Toast Barrel hoops made from zinc-plated steel for corrosion resistance Rack included

What is a Foeder?  Basically, it is a large barrel or oak vessel used to age wine and, as of late, many breweries have begun to use them as well.  Breweries like New Belgium Brewing, Epic Brewing Company, Crooked Stave and Deschutes are using them for sour beer production and beyond.  Although most popular for sour beers, you can add a matured oak character to any beer, such as porters, stouts, English ales, lagers and pilsners. Pilsners?! Yes, Pilsners.  We have tasted a few excellent pilsners matured in foeders recently.  We were so impressed, we decided to bring them in for our amazing customers to play with. Don't delay, get your foeder today! This model stand vertically, which compared to horizontal foeders, takes up a much smaller footprint in your brewery or winery.  The longer, skinnier design also allows for a higher wood surface to beverage ratio.  The oak is porous, so it will retain the character and living microbes of previous batches.  Many sour beer producers choose to let the oak inoculate the next batch and treat the barrel as a living entity.  We hope that you choose to give this vessel a loving home, with kids and a backyard, or maybe just a temperate, moderately humid production facility.
