Real capacity Speidel 12L fermentor

[royger]

Hello,

I already have a 30L Speidel fermentor and would like to buy a smaller one for doing trial 2.5gal batches using a smaller keg. Does anyone know the actual capacity of the Speidel 12L fermentor? The 30L is AFAICT capable of holding 33 or 34L I would say, so I was hoping the 12L would be able to hold 14L so that I can ferment up to 12L of worth in order to fully fill a 2.5gal keg after fermentation.

Thanks, Roger.

Replying to myself FTR - after contacting Speidel they confirmed the real capacity of the 12L fermenter is 14L, which should be fine for fermenting batches to go into 2.5gal corny kegs.
