Foeder
,added German word for "wooden vat"
A '''foeder''' (pronounced FOOD-er) is the Dutch word for a large wooden barrel set vertically and used for either long term fermentation or primary fermentation. In Dutch, the synonym "vaten" is often used, which translates to English as "vat". The term "vat" is used in the United Kingdom. In Germany, the term is "bottich" or "holzbottich", which also translate to "wooden vat" in English <ref>Kunze, Wolfgang. "Technology: Brewing and Malting, Sixth Edition." 2019.
