    Barrels & Vats – Choosing the Right Container for Brandy and Wine

    Stainless steel vs plastic – advantages of each material

    Stainless steel barrels like the Inox bačva 320 l (za rakiju)- sa slavinom are ideal for long-term storage of brandy and wine as they don't affect the taste and are easy to maintain. Plastic vats from brands such as Plastik Gogić and Zlatarplast are lighter, more affordable and practical for transport, but require careful storage away from direct sunlight. Stainless steel containers withstand extreme temperatures and allow precise fermentation control.

    Wall thickness and build quality

    Quality stainless steel barrels from brands like Ezio-inox use corrosion-resistant steel with a minimum thickness of 1mm, guaranteeing durability and stability. For plastic vats, look for food-grade certification – the material must be approved for contact with alcoholic beverages. Cheap vats made from unsuitable plastic can release unpleasant odors and compromise the quality of your product.

    Taps and lids – details that make usage easier

    A tap at the bottom of the container allows easy decanting without lifting or tilting heavy barrels. For stainless steel barrels, check that the tap has a silicone or teflon gasket to prevent leaks. A hermetic lid is essential during fermentation – some models feature additional ports for installing vacuum valves or thermometers.

    Capacities for different needs

    For home brandy production, the most popular vats range from 100 to 500 liters, while professional producers use barrels over 1000 liters. Agromarket offers a wide range of sizes suitable for both hobbyists and larger operations. When choosing capacity, consider the height of the container – shorter, wider vats are easier to move and empty than tall, narrow ones.

    Maintenance and preparation before use

    New stainless steel barrels should be washed with warm water and detergent, thoroughly rinsed, and checked for any residual odors. Plastic vats should be filled with water mixed with a little baking soda and left for 24 hours before first use. After each use, thoroughly rinse and dry the containers – moisture in sealed vessels can cause mold or unpleasant odors to develop.
