Stainless steel is an excellent choice for fermentation tanks because it is inert and doesn't react with wine during the aging process. Moreover, it is easy to clean and store, a feature that's especially important for winemakers who plan to store their wines in the tanks for an extended period.
Large 100 l Fermenter for fermenting a big batch of wine
If you want to make a lot of wine or beer in your home winery, a large-volume fermentation tank will help you achieve your goals. You can choose from several types and sizes, including a variety of tank heights to ensure that the top of the tank is level with the floor and the bottom is flat. Most tanks have a spigot (ball valve) to allow for easy operation of racking and filtering. They can also be equipped with a man door or sight glass, and some models are available with a three-legged stand to keep the tank upright.
Variable-Capacity Tanks from Marchisio
If your home winemaking hobby is growing and you need to ferment more than a few gallons of wine, consider investing in a variable-capacity tank. These tanks come in a range of sizes, from 9-gallon (34-liter) up to 529 gallons (2,003 liters), and cost U.S. $180 to over $2,000, depending on the type and size of tank you choose.
Lid with Inflatable Membrane
Floating-lid stainless-steel tank systems are ideal for home winemakers who need to ferment a large quantity of wine. These vessels are typically designed with a man door and sight glass, a spigot or valve and a lid that has an inflatable membrane for air infiltration and drainage. The lid can be raised or lowered with a cord attachment.
These units are great for fermenting large volumes of fruit-based wines, such as reds and whites. In addition, they're useful for storing reds that you'll need to age in the tanks before bottling.
High quality plastic barrels for fermentation and storage
Our heavy-duty plastic tanks are made in Germany from special food-grade plastic, which is unbreakable, doesn't give off any flavour and lasts a long time! They have sturdy handles that are easy to carry, and they don't leak.
A volume gauge on the side of the tank enables you to tell whether the water in the tank is at a certain height. If the height of the water in the tank is 10 cm, for example, then a mark on the gauge will indicate that the volume in the tank is 10 litres.
This is a very handy feature if you're working with very large quantities of wine, because it means that you can see exactly how much is in the tank without opening up the container. This is an invaluable tool for a large number of purposes, such as controlling the amount of wine that you're storing in the tank and determining whether it is safe to transport.
Ben Netto, owner of R2H, has received many requests from his customers for a tank with a volume gauge on the side. These have a dipstick to measure the level of water in the tank, which is then matched up with a table of markings in hundreds of litres. These marks should be spaced equally around the sides of the tank.
