Frequently asked questions
- What batch size does the Speidel 60L Plastic Fermenter (15.9 gal) handle?
- It is listed at 15.9 gallons, which suits 10 gallon batches. Always leave headspace: a fermenter filled to the brim will push krausen into the airlock, and a kettle filled to the brim will boil over.
- Is the Speidel 60L Plastic Fermenter (15.9 gal) worth the price?
- It sits in the expert tier on this site at $128.99. Whether that is right for you depends on how often you brew. Equipment cost spreads across every batch you make, so a more expensive system that gets used fortnightly can work out cheaper per pint than a budget one that gets used twice a year.
