Cask Keg - Soft Spile (Wood)

Crafted from porous wood, this device facilitates the release of excess gas within a firkin cask, fitting snugly into its synthetic bung. Designed for single-use, it should be responsibly disposed of after serving its purpose.












The wooden soft spile serves a crucial role in tapping a cask keg. At the outset, homebrew casks necessitate a soft spile peg, typically crafted from porous wood, to facilitate the gradual and gentle release of carbon dioxide. Once the cask reaches ambient pressure, the softwood spile used for cask beer is substituted with a hard spile, preventing any further gas from escaping the cask.

Achieving the ideal cask-conditioned beer involves employing both soft and hard spiles to effectively vent the cask.
