Description
Speidel FO1 220L – fermentation tank with floating lid for wine and cider
The Speidel FO1 220L is a stainless steel fermentation tank with a floating lid, made for wine, cider and other beverages where oxygen control is critical to quality. The tank has a variable capacity and is supplied complete with a floating lid with pump and pressure gauge, two stainless steel ball valves, an airlock and a bung.
Please note: This product is only available in Norway.
The floating lid is lowered onto the surface of the liquid and seals it from the air, preserving aroma and freshness through fermentation and storage. Because the lid follows the liquid level, the tank can also be used when it is not full.
The tank is made of AISI 304 stainless steel with a high-gloss polished interior and marbled exterior for easy cleaning and a long service life. It has a curved bottom for efficient draining, clear litre markings and stands on three legs.
Made to order and shipped directly from the manufacturer. Price on request.

Frequently asked questions about the Speidel FO1 220L
What is the advantage of a floating lid?
The lid rests on the surface of the liquid and follows the level, so there is very little air above the wine or cider. This reduces oxidation, even when the tank is only partly filled.
What are the pump and pressure gauge for?
The lid is sealed against the tank wall with a sealing hose that is pumped up. The pressure gauge shows the pressure in the seal, so you can see that the lid is tight.
Which outlets does the tank have?
The tank has a racking outlet and a bottom outlet, both 3/4" (BSP), with stainless steel ball valves. With the racking outlet above the bottom, you can draw off clear wine or cider and leave the sediment behind.
What does the tank cost, and what is the lead time?
The tank is made to order and shipped directly from Speidel. Price and lead time are available on request.
