These HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) tanks from Speidel are a great choice for both fermentation and storage. 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, the spigot eliminates the need to siphon and the handles make them easy to move even full.  The high density construction is highly resistant to oxygen pickup, making these suitable for long term aging of wines up to 12 months. 

They are 32" L x 22" W x 32" H (w/o Airlock) and can handle temperatures up to 140F

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).
