Supplied as a convenient pack of 50, they are ideal for venues regularly handling and serving cask conditioned beer.

Hard Wooden Spiles for Cask Ale

Cask ale requires controlled venting and sealing as part of the conditioning and serving process.

A hard spile is less porous than a soft spile and is used when the cask needs to be sealed, helping prevent unnecessary loss of condition when the beer is not being served.

Hard spiles can be removed or adjusted as required during cellar management and replaced as part of the normal cask ale serving process.

What is a Hard Spile Used For?

A hard spile is used to seal the shive hole of a cask and help retain the natural condition of the beer.

During cask preparation, a more porous soft spile is typically used to allow excess gas to vent as the beer conditions. Once the required condition has been reached, the soft spile can be replaced with a hard spile to reduce further gas loss.

This makes both hard and soft spiles important tools for managing traditional cask conditioned real ale correctly.
