Choosing Speidel equipment

Brewing: The Braumeister mashes, sparges, boils and chills in one vessel. The 10, 20 and 50 litre PLUS models are made for homebrewers. The 100, 200, 500 and 1000 litre Braumeister are made to order for larger batches and breweries.
Plastic fermenters: Speidel fermenters are made in Germany from food-grade HDPE. They come with tap, airlock and screw cap, or as the vessel only. Oval fermenters come in 60 and 100 litres.
Stainless fermenters: The UF tanks (30, 60 and 120 litres) are 304 stainless steel with airlock and tap. The 30 litre Kellermeister is a conical polyethylene tank that lets you dump and harvest yeast.
Pressure: FD pressure tanks are rated for 1.2 or 2.5 bar, with flat or conical (ZKG) bottom, from 120 to 1200 litres.
Cider and juice: The Hydropress 20 and 40 litre presses use mains water pressure to press the fruit. The fruit grinder runs on a standard 230 V socket.

Speidel FAQ

What is a Speidel Braumeister?

The Braumeister is a fully automatic brewing system that mashes, sparges, boils and chills in the same vessel. The pump circulates the wort through the malt pipe, and the controller runs the mash schedule. The PLUS models have a cooling jacket and can be used as a fermenter with the Fermentation Kit.

What size fermenter do I need?

Speidel fermenters come in 12, 20, 30, 60 and 120 litres. For a 20–25 litre batch most brewers use the 30 litre fermenter, which leaves room for the krausen. It is 35 cm wide and 65 cm tall with the airlock.

Plastic or stainless steel?

The HDPE fermenters are light and affordable. The stainless tanks are easier to clean, resist scratches and are impermeable to oxygen.

Can I get Speidel spare parts?

Yes. We stock gaskets, lids, taps and volume scales for the fermenters, and malt pipes, sieve plates, heating elements, pumps, impellers, temperature sensors and power cables for the Braumeister. Some parts are made to order.
