Before I came to the fermenting cask from Speidel, I have tried several other stainless steel and was not satisfied. Either they were leaking, the fiddly lid setting, or left a slightly metallic taste in beer. The fermenting cask from Speidel fulfilled my expectations largely because it is easy to clean through the large lid opening to get well into it. In addition, the threads are worked accurately and keeps everything tight, so you can track the fermentation well. In addition, the barrel is transparent, because you can watch the Hochkräusen well and see what makes the yeast at the bottom of the fermentation tank so. However, then the fermentation vessel should be well in a completely darkened room. The incorporated on the ground interventions improve the handling enormously. Importantly, the einzufüllende Sud must not exceed 60 degrees Celsius and one should even the airlock and tap order even with this when ordering. As for the lashing strap and snap closure on the lid margin, I would have liked the metal instead of plastic, but as I heard from other homebrewers even after years of use still everything so fine. From me, there are therefore five *****.
