These HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) tanks from Speidel are a great choice for both fermentation and storage of your small lots, up to about 30 gallons. The heavy duty containers are much thicker than traditional plastic carboys and have a host of unique features which really improve usability. Among these features are the oversized top opening which makes them easy to clean by hand, included spigot which eliminates the need to siphon and the integrated handles which make moving these around a snap, even when full.
Like the traditional plastic carboys, these will not shatter if dropped - even when full. The high density construction is highly resistant to oxygen ingress, making these suitable for long term aging of wines up to 12 months.
Tip: Because there is going to be a small amount of oxygen contact, it is a good idea to adjust your SO2 measurement schedule to be more along the lines of what you would use with a barrel - every 5-6 weeks rather than every 8-10.

Speidel FermentEgg Plastic Fermenter | Stainless Steel Valves | 60L | 15.9 gal
Traditional design meets modern technology and materials Oval design allows for unhindered convection currents during fermenation Supports constant circulation—eliminating hot spots and leading to faster fermentations Smooth interior surface makes cleaning quick & easy Made in Germany by Speidel The Fermentegg represents a new take on one of the oldest vessel shapes for winemaking. Oval vessels have been used to ferment and store wine for thousands of years, however Speidel's Fermentegg brings this concept to modern times with a lightweight yet heavy duty, food-safe polyethylene construction.

Fermentations will generally complete quicker due to the motion of the product, and hot spots will be eliminated as the product remains at a homogenous temperature. Can be used to ferment wine, beer or even cider! Speidel has become known as a forward moving company in fermentation equipment and following in the foot steps of the Speidel Plastic Fermenter, the egg is very easy to clean because of it's smooth inside surface.
