Why Stainless?

While stainless steel tanks may not have the same desired aesthetic as a barrel, they are the most economical and convenient vessel for winemaking. Stainless steel tanks come in a variety of shapes and sizes, making them useful for the home and well as professional winemaker. Most stainless steel tanks are variable in their capacity, meaning that the lid can be lowered down to the surface of the wine, accommodating a range of wine volumes and eliminating the chore of topping off fixed capacity containers such as carboys or demijohns. The stainless steel wine tank is an all in one for the home winemaker: fermenter and aging vessel. The wine, either red or white, can be fermented in the tank, racked off the lees, and then aged in the tank. The winemaker can choose to add some oak to the tank in the form of staves, spirals, or chips to impart oak flavor to the wine. Stainless steel tanks are very easy to clean and maintain and will add longevity to wine that may age poorly in carboys or barrels. A stainless steel tank will potentially last a lifetime, provided that it is properly maintained; a refreshing alternative to breakable glass or easily contaminated wood.
