I love my new Speidel fermenters. I have 2 now, a 60l and a 30l and am going to go for 3 more 60l which should last me for about forever.
My fermentation chamber is low so I currently push with co2 out of my 15 gallon re purposed hdpe LME barrels into cornies. More for the ease of moving the beer without moving the fermenter than concern for oxidation while transfering but that is also a benefit.
The new Speidels I bought are SUPER easy to pressure push from and the 30l took 5 psi no problem in a water test. I bought an extra transfer spigot from morebeer and screwed it into the top opening. 3/8" silicon slips right on to the spigot (tightly) so I used that for my gas in line and my beer out line. The 3/8" silicon also fits my gas out line so I just plug the pvc into the silicon hose and have a pressure tight seal (at least for 5 psi).
I will try this on my 14.5 gallon batch of Irish red in a couple weeks. I'm super jazzed. Hope this helps somebody out.
Cheers.
