Black Eye Fermentation Tank
For Premium White Wine Fermentation
Wine was aged in egg-shaped amphorae in ancient times. In recent years, fermentation has been tested in various forms.
Speidel has now developed a stainless steel fermenter that combines the advantages of the egg shape with the advantages of a stainless steel tank with a unique design. The Black Eye looks like a space satellite from the outside and allows for a gentle and well controlled fermentation inside.
Due to its unique shape, the yeast can circulate smoothly during the fermentation phase. 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 vessel, 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.
