Direktvermarktung

Stainless steel containers are widely used in winemaking and offer a number of benefits, including durability, hygiene and ease of cleaning. In this guide, we will take a closer look at the use of stainless steel containers in winemaking and discuss important aspects such as selection, care and use.

1. choosing the right stainless steel container

Before choosing a stainless steel container for your wine production, you should consider the following factors:

Size: Choose a container with sufficient capacity for your production requirements. Take into account the amount of wine you want to produce and the space available in your cellar or winery.

Shape: Stainless steel tanks are available in a variety of shapes, including conical, cylindrical and open tanks. Choose the shape that best suits your production process and allows for good mixing and temperature control.

Equipment features: Look out for additional features such as drain taps, thermometer holders and lid openings that can facilitate and improve the production process.

2. advantages of stainless steel containers

Stainless steel containers offer a number of advantages that make them a popular choice in wine production:

Durability: Stainless steel containers are robust and durable, and they can be used for years without rusting or corroding.

Hygiene: Stainless steel is a non-porous material that is easy to clean and sanitise, ensuring a high level of hygiene in wine production.

Temperature control: Stainless steel containers offer good heat transfer and allow precise temperature control during the fermentation and ageing process.

Neutrality: Unlike wooden or plastic containers, stainless steel does not affect the flavour or quality of the wine, resulting in a pure and unadulterated end product.

3. care

Regular care and maintenance is required to ensure that your stainless steel containers function optimally and last a long time:

Cleaning: Clean the containers thoroughly after each use with warm water and mild detergent to remove residues and deposits.

Disinfection: Disinfect the containers regularly with suitable disinfectants to prevent the growth of bacteria and yeasts.

4. applications

Stainless steel containers are used in various areas, including

Fermentation: Stainless steel tanks are used for fermenting must as they allow for even heat distribution and temperature control.

Storage and ageing: After fermentation, wines can be stored and aged in stainless steel tanks to develop their flavours and aromas.

Mixing and bottling: Stainless steel containers are also used for mixing wines and preparing them for bottling.
