For Premium White Wine Fermentation
Wine was already aged in eggshaped amphorae in ancient times. In recent years, fermentation has been tested in various forms in viticulture. Speidel has now developed a stainless steel fermenter that combines the advantages of the egg shape with the advantages of a stainless steel tank and a unique design. The Black Eye looks like a space satellite from the outside and provides a gentle and well controllable fermentation inside. Due to its unique shape, the yeast can circulate smoothly during the fermentation phase. In science it is assumed that this free circulation is an advantage for the fermentation process and thus for the entire aroma spectrum. In contrast to a concrete fermentation barrel, the Black Eye guarantees the necessary hygiene. Thanks to the perfect welding seams and the highly smooth inner walls, the fermenting chamber is also very easy to clean.

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 PE.
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.
Includes 2 x Stainless steel ball valves and airlock.
Tightening lid with cap.
