In addition to the right fruit and a good recipe, the container plays the most important role. It must not only be airtight, but also preserve the aroma and bouquet over many months. Most importantly, it needs to keep out harmful bacteria that can penetrate via the air and the material of the container. The more airtight the container, the better the must.
We use only colourless, food-grade PE plastic for our containers. The extra-thick wall preserves the aroma and the alcohol and keeps the must fresh and lively for a long time (as opposed to cheap, thin-walled containers). The large filling dome allows you to clean by hand right into the furthest corners.

Conventional Barrel Storage
Biodynamic fermentation in the egg shape corresponds to the golden ratio without corners and edges. Wine, must and beer can move freely during the fermentation phase and storage. This makes the process gentler and allows the drink to fully develop.
The idea of fermentation or maturation in the egg is a return to ancient methods but with new materials. Even in ancient times, alcohol was matured in egg-shaped amphorae. After successful tests with egg-shaped fermentation containers made of concrete for winemaking in recent years, Speidel has now developed the fermentation egg made of food-safe polyethylene.
The oxygen permeability of the food-safe plastic allows an even influence of oxygen and thus ensures an ideal process of fermentation and maturation. After fermentation, the smooth inner surface is very easy to clean.
Speidel PE Fermentation Barrels provide flexibility when dealing with small volumes. The airtight seal not only preserves aroma and flavour for several months, but most importantly it keeps out harmful bacteria that often spoil liquor stored in inferior and inadequate vessels.
