other than the bag, how do you filter fines out of the coffee?

Bad fucking ass!

This is a cool panel. Dumb question but does it automate step mashes or is it designed for single mashes only

Im interested in purchasing the CF10, but during your walkthrough, I dont see anything regarding a blowoff port of some kind. I make starters with 10 gallon batches, and I always need a blowoff tube. It looks great, but I wish this would have a blowoff port. Everything else you described is great. A racking arm, oxygen kit and sample port. Too bad nothing mentioned about blowoff. I almost bought one. I guess you design your own?

I have a question about cleaning. Do you have any best practice; I'm thinking brush off the dust. However, the mill is heavy and a bit awkward to move with the plastic bucket lid attached (which I really like). On second thought maybe a quick vacuum would do the job.

Can this pump generate any pressure? I want to use in an espresso machine, I need 9-10bar

Do you have a link to the probe compression fitting you used for the thermometer?

Where can I buy the oxigen tank? I don' t see in the website spikebrewing.

Do you have a parts list of the hard piping to duplicate this set

Awesome vid.! A little question. When you cold crash, how you control the return on the blowoff?

My gasket looks different than what’s in the video

This looks familiar😜

Is that a filter (black thing) coming off the conical?

👍

How does the spike chiller compare specifically to the Exchilerator Brutus Pro?

Where I can buy the pro versión in Mexico?

Gap settings do not match my previous mill.

❤

Two things I really like about this mill that weren’t mentioned. One, and it’s a small thing, but the hopper bolts on with 4 hex machine screws that screw in from the inside of the hopper to the mill. This means there is the potential for those screws to end up in the rollers, probably tearing them up in the process. (These bolts took me a good 30 minutes to install with the included hex wrench.) However, this is a good thing. They are tight, and even with the vibrations a standard mill goes through, I don’t see them working loose, ever. If they do though, the designer was thoughtful enough to include a metal screen just below them, and the bolt heads are too large to allow them through the channels. That’s thoughtful engineering. Second thing I like is the noise level. My old drill-driven Schmidling sounds like a Cessna taking off. This Spike Home purrs like a kitten. Nice job, guys.

How can we paticipate

Does anyone have problems screwing the hopper into the unit

today 26/06/2024 i received mine yeah

More civil defense lawyer advice to avoid suits from stupid people: use appropriate eye protection when using compressed air to clean the Mill. Love the add on at the end, which was timed perfectly for my concerns as the cleaning section progressed. Got my Mill today!

Very bad instructions

Do you have assembly instructions?

EUROPE - WE NEED YOU IN EUROPE. COME ONE AND PLEASE!!!!!! Make it happen.

EUROPE - WE NEED YOU IN EUROPE. COME ONE AND PLEASE!!!!!! Make it happen.

how long do you contidion it post 2nd dry hop.

How many days will it lasts?

Appreciate the in depth overview of the mill. Love the insight into the process. And the extreme sport aspect of the video was great (21:07). Cheers!

I got the Blichmann about two years ago, and here are my comments about some of your observations. Pricing: As a home brewer, it was more than I wanted to spend, but at the time there was really only the Blichmann and the SS. I didn't want the SS (based on some of the same things and more that you addressed). Drive: I can't comment on the drive system/steel shavings, because I haven't taken the mill apart and have no intention of doing so. Thoughput: I did a test a while back of the throughput (and video'd it) and for me it was about 16 pounds in 1:20, which is roughly on par with your pro system. I will post that to my KZbin channel shortly. Weight: The Blichmann is a monster, and I think the motor + mill comes in over 50 pounds. (With the stand, it shipped at about 78 or so pounds), so I think you under-reported that. The thing is tho, with the casters it moves around quite easily, so the weight was not an issue after assembly, and because I can move the mill, it does store in an out of the way spot as well. Its footprint is 24" X 24" (X 38" tall) which was not a problem for me. Gap setting adjustment: When I got mine, it came with a stainless steel plate, and I did not find it difficult or confusing to set up and adjust. Altho I primarily use it on one setting, it is simple to change when I need to. The Spike appears to be a little easier to adjust, but it is not significant. Dust: You are spot on with your comments there. After each milling I actually use my leaf blower to get all the dust off of it, and out of the garage. Looks: Definitely an industrial look, but that doesn't bother me. Some other things you didn't comment on that you should have: Assembly: On my Blichmann, it was very difficult, especially setting up the stand and mounting the mill and hopper to it and getting everything to fit properly. Just a one time deal, but a total PITA, especially compared to what it looks like is an easy assembly on the Spike mill. Noise: I wish you addressed this. I have heard that the SS is VERY loud with a high pitch (and seen videos of it on KZbin) and I think it would be nice to know how loud yours is. My Blichmann is very quiet. Gap between rollers different from front to back: There were a couple videos on YT about the gap being different in the rollers on the SS, and I did see one as well about a minor difference on the Blichmann. Mine does not have that issue, but can you comment on that? End game is I love my Blichmann mill, (and am obviously going to keep it) but if the Spike was available when I purchased mine, I would have seriously considered it based on the overall cost for a homebrewing operation.

I want a fitted lid for my new Home version. Any plan on selling one for the home version? What about an extension for the home hopper?

Looks like the mill I'll be eventually buying

i'm waiting for another preorder list coming available. what's the recommended crush setting for this for a fine crush using a brew bag?

Received mine today and I ran 8 pounds at 1 min 20 sec at a 0.05 setting. Grain crush looks great. What do you guys recommend as a starting setting?

capacity for up to 4 fermenters of what size?

You guys are becoming the Apple of brewing. Love all of your stuff, especially these deep dives, which set you apart and is akin to KegLand. Keep it up!

I’ve seen some folks concerned if this would cold crash. Let me tell you… that shouldn’t concern you one bit. I go from 67F down to 34F in just a few hours. Crazy efficient.

How do I win?

Por que ele usa luvas? Pega em todas as coisas e depois pega no malte com as mesmas luvas

I can't wait to enjoy my mill 😊

Great video. High production value. Can’t wait to get one.

🤡

Make more videos like this, great explanations😊

Icemaster 4, has all 4 bombs don't delete my comment, I bought a new one and it has them

The JaDeD cools very fast if you have a good flow rate with cold tap water, and yeah you need to stir it. It’s kind of unfair to put it against plate and counterflow as it’s an entirely different concept of chilling.

11:32 Ok, but the Spike chiller comes with nothing too. So let's compare apples to apples here. And I would add that the Spike essentials options don't even get the chiller brew ready from what I can tell. OTOH, if you order the Exchillerator with the brew ready option it is good to go out of the box. The Exchillerator Maxx TC Brew Ready option will set you back $384. The Spike chiller with TC and essentials kit is $450 and you still don't have a thermometer.

When are these going to drop for purchase?

Hello from a UK home brewer. I must say, I'm a precision engineer (Toolmaker) by trade, and I'm mighty impressed with not only the quality of the system, but also the ingenuity. You seem to have thought of, and come up with an answer for everything. Well done on producing a top quality product...... if I had the room, I'd be seriously thinking about getting one shipped over.
