The AE017 Softwood Spile – 38mm is an indispensable component in the world of real ale brewing. These porous cane spiles (sometimes called wooden beer pegs) are used at the beginning of the venting process for cask-conditioned ales, particularly in firkin-sized casks and homebrew systems. Once inserted into the synthetic bung of a firkin, the soft spile allows excess CO₂ to safely escape as fermentation continues. When venting is complete, it is typically replaced with a hard spile to seal the cask and preserve the ale's condition and carbonation. Whether you're a pub cellar manager, microbrewery operator, or passionate homebrewer, this bag of 50 spiles is a reliable, traditional, and biodegradable solution for managing cask fermentation the proper way.
