Frequently asked questions about the Speidel FD-2.5B 240L
What is the difference between the Speidel FD-2.5B and FD-1.2B?
The equipment is the same, but the FD-2.5B is built for working pressures up to 2.5 bar, while the FD-1.2B is built for up to 1.2 bar. A higher permitted pressure gives you more headroom when spunding and retaining more CO2 in the beer.
Do I need a cold room to use the tank?
No. The double cooling jacket is designed for fermenting and maturing bottom-fermented beer outside a cold room. The jacket connects to your cooling system via the two G1" connections. A chiller is not included.
What does the tank cost and what is the lead time?
The tank is made to order and shipped directly from Speidel. Contact us for price and lead time.
