Spike Trio - Turn Key Home Brewing System

[@mr_hototo8258]

Looks like an amazing product! You should make a video of a full brew day

[@SpikeBrewing]

You can see a full brew day here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/op6xcoaNZ7migqM&t=

[@fenderkid9741]

Bought mine a little over a month ago and just finally got to set it up after the electrician and plumber finished routing new circuits and lines to where it will sit. Can't wait to use the product and will make a video for the brew days on y'alls system. Thanks! Hopefully I can save up and get a fermenter from you guys one of these days also. First all grain batch T-2 days.

[@chansachilando8481]

How much ?

[@atlehman69]

Pumped to support Wisconsin, I'm from Appleton, went to college at UWM, saving up for some Spike equipment. Always favored Blichmann but Spike is quickly earning top spot.

[@AddkisonAlesAndLagers]

Wow I wish this had been around about a year ago! I built an identical system with lesser quality kettles for about the same that this cost. Great stuff guys!

[@SpikeBrewing]

People don't realize how much everything adds up to be. Also when you need to purchase items twice because of a mistake. "Buy Once. Cry Once."

[@AddkisonAlesAndLagers]

100% agree. Plus you guys have much better quality kettles than what I got :< You guys do some awesome stuff. Should be upgrading my boil kettle to 20+ gallons soon.

[@silvermediastudio]

Awesome presentation. Prices are pretty reasonable for a turn-key system of this caliber.

[@GlenAndFriendsBrewHouse]

Great looking system - really thinking about this for when we move to our new 'BrewHouse' in February.

[@patrickwoods2583]

Ben, you're are amazing! I know nothing about brewing... I'm just here for research. But after your videos I feel so educated. Sadly, that's not the case with other peoples videos (Brewha, Brewzilla...). If ever I were to invest in a home brewery, I'd be leaning toward the Spike system.

[@spookify]

The HLT is the only one we are missing. Looks amazing!

[@spookify]

We scorched our last batch :(

[@hansrosielle9853]

Love my system. Wish you would also have a video to explain the BCS particulars. I've figured it out, but it would help a lot of people to see that too. This video gave me a few more insights, which I will be applying on my next brew.

[@fenderkid9741]

The BCS particulars? What does that stand for? I just bought and set up my system and will be brewing in two days. Any tips or tricks I need to know?

[@MrPd23322]

Ohhhh HOW I cannot wait for the new year ...this is my Christmas present to myself ...albeit one piece at a time... except for the controller, I'm an electronic -electrical tech from my Navy career so can build one myself...Love the products...

@@StanSwan really? How did you do yours? being able to build one of these is kinda hard right? You'd need to find all the parts from different places and be pretty engineer savvy?

[@brandongrennan7602]

Looks like an amazing product wow!! Super impressed and maybe I’ll get one one of these days 👍🏼

[@harrybaules]

Sweet setup! I've been away for a few years. It's nice to see electric brewing has come a long way and is the way to go now a days. I hope to buy your 10 gal system in a couple of years.

[@jjthejetplane767]

Awesome system, but you guys really need a new video showing the updated kettles, steam condenser, control panel, and the tri-clamp version!

[@hindskn]

Beautiful system. The individual loop controllers will do the job, but that's quite a bit of button fiddling. A touchscreen HMI with a little PLC could really simplify the interface, but would add to the cost. This is a reasonable solution and the learning curve probably isn't too steep for most folks.

[@aholleba]

I really like this system. It looks well made and quite elegant. A shame I can't get one here in Canada.

[@hillblai]

Knut Hollebakken i had it shipped to near the border then went and picked it up. No issues, no duty, just tax. You could try that way

[@ava.lorbetski]

Blair Hillmer how’s your Spike System treating you? I’m in Kitchener, thinking of ordering one...

[@hillblai]

B John its amazing, the control over temps is something i have been looking for. Clean up is really nice as well. Overall great quality. I drove over the border to pick mine up. The spike guys were awesome in helping with documentation

[@ava.lorbetski]

Blair Hillmer - is it worth the money? And how did you get out of paying duty?

[@hillblai]

B John I would say it's worth the money, but that's relative I guess. Because spike is American made, no duty. Just paid the tax and went on my way.

[@bbell37968]

Extraordinary! Well worth the cost in my view.

[@chuckschillingvideos]

Wonderful system - I would love to see a similar controlled system for those brewers who prefer NG or LPG over electric.

[@armyguy209]

I just bought the 30 gallon kettle and think the quality is awesome. Only problem I'm thinking about now is putting PTFE tape on the inside threads. Wouldn't this stuff leech into the wort? Also, I'm thinking it will give bacteria a spot to hide.

[@SpikeBrewing]

Pipe tape is chemically inert and good to 550F. NPT threads and PTFE tape are very common among sanitary applications like your home plumbing. Also your wort is boiled thus killing anything that could ever cause an issue.

[@Joenerfhearder]

Great looking setup. If i could afford it I would be there. I would love to see something like "water heater jackets" for the setup for better energy efficiency.

[@davidhilbert5007]

Awesome set up retirement gift to me 2021 what a year it going to be with purchase of a Harley what else could a man want lol

[@oliverlizotte3221]

[@JohnDoe-wy1yd]

Well done young man, that looks like a quality system.

[@jazzyboydc]

That is a dream system. Top bad I need a car more than a top of the line brewing system right now....

[@johhnyglaze1]

Some great equipment! There was just one thing I noticed is that there is Teflon tape inside for the boil kettle. Is there high temp tape?

[@SpikeBrewing]

Teflon tape is good to about 500F

[@ferrangrau8392]

Do you recirculate in the boil kettle without a filter? Aren't hop particles getting inside your pump? If have had trouble in the past and its a PITA to clean the inside of a pump every brewday to keep it clean

[@SpikeBrewing]

That's not an issue we've seen with our system before

[@mauriciogiam2572]

Que projeto espetacular, pena que no Brasil nunca teremos uma qualidade assim, aqui é só gambiarra

[@RaisenCaine]

What a great system they've done the research for ya. got high quality equipment and put everything you need together. I'm saving up for this. In the mean time Spike Brewing if you have a giveaway for one of your systems put my name in the hat for it plz. An thx Sincerely thanks for the video. Cant wait to be a home brewer on one of these.

[@kevingeorge5159]

How does all of that hot teflon tape affect the product? Is there a better food-grade solution?

[@SpikeBrewing]

No affect. Teflon tape is completely inert and food safe.

[@juanespinoza3322]

[@poisonpotato1]

Does the efficiency take into account hose/pump losses, and trub loss, and deadspace?

[@SpikeBrewing]

Yes, this is brewhouse efficiency

[@williammatthews1609]

I saw your website and the 3 options you have and while I'm certainly not prepared to buy today this is on my list as I expect to officially have my brewery going in 1-2 years. My question is about size. What size batches does your equipment make at once? Looking at the size in the picture it looks to be maybe 10-15 gallons. Thanks!

[@SpikeBrewing]

Thanks for the interest! We make systems that can do 2.5 gallons all the way up to 1bbl!

The wort made with the Spike System can be bottled or kegged. That step is done after fermentation.

[@StanSwan]

So where is the fermenter?

[@SpikeBrewing]

Right here ;) spikebrewing.com/pages/fermenters

[@StanSwan]

@@SpikeBrewing Looks nice I have a 27 gallon one I bought about 15 years ago. I use my wort chiller in there. I just pour it out of my boiling kettle into a bucket and dump it in. I have a mash tun with a pump and false bottom. Uses a 110k btu gas burner. I played with electric elements but was not sure if they would scorch the wort? I use one inline on my recirc pump to keep the sparge at 165.

[@ronaldnavarrete9620]

In the HLT, what is the top valve recirculating? I'm not asking about the recirculating the wort through the HERMS coil, I know what that is. I'm just not sure what are your recirculating using the top valve in the HLT.

[@SpikeBrewing]

The recirc port in the HLT recirculates the water at the bottom near the element up towards the top. This gives a consistent temp throughout the entire tank.

[@jesuscuriel7751]

Http,noŕthbay.bàckpage.co

[@Matt_Hil]

How would I do FWH (First Wort Hops) with this system, as FWH involves adding a portion of the hops to the boiler at the very beginning of the sparging process, allowing these hops to steep as the sparging completes and remaining in the kettle throughout the boil. Add the hops to the boiler as soon as you have finished recirculating the first runnings.

[@walkerrichardson]

Hey Matt. I do a lot of first wort hopping in my Spike System. It works exactly how you guessed. Personally, I just have the FWH pellets sitting in the empty boil kettle from the start of the brew day (so I don't forget them). Then once the lauter/sparge process begins the boil kettle is filled with your wort and you have your FWH hops ready to do their thing.

[@SteveDBallantyne]

That's a nice system, and I can't seem to find a bad word said about your products in the home brewing forums. Have you considered doing a comparison between your turnkey and some others? Blichmann has a similar setup (Pro Pilot Series) that seems to come in slightly lower in cost. SS Brewtech has a new 1bbl setup that looks pretty "fancy schmancy" but comes in at nearly double the cost of your rig. I like the buy-once cry-once mentality. But what makes your product stand out above the others?

[@joelgarcia1085]

Spike, is there any way this system can be converted or have the option of using Natural Gas instead. This for me, would be the most efficient approach. I am in the market for a system like this. Thank you

[@SpikeBrewing]

The Spike System can't be converted but we can do custom gas fired systems all the time. Shoot us an email and we can help design something for you! [e-mail]

[@suek3624]

Spike Brewing How can i get more information?

[@mikemillzzz]

I emailed you guys too but will you ever make a 5 gallon system? Guaranteed customer if so lol. I just don't have enough time to consume 10 gallons of beer and brew as often as I would like.

[@SpikeBrewing]

Mike, the 10gal system actually makes 2.5-6 gallons of beer. It's called a 10gal system because it uses 10 gallon tanks.

[@PepeSi7via]

you dont sell the push to connect fittings?

[@danielwake9692]

Hey SB, is there any thought in getting distribution to Australia or is it available already if so who do I need to contact, love this system. Reason I ask is there is very little good quality full systems for sale here Thanks

[@vincentmartinez3956]

Is there a reason the timer only uses seconds instead of the traditional hour and minutes? Also, can you brew a 5 to 6 gallon batch in a 15 gallon setup?

[@SpikeBrewing]

It can do both. Just need to change the settings. Yes, the 15gal can do a 5-10gal batch.

[@joshrandalldisavows6697]

[@MrMoosefire]

Does this system still require a conical fermenter?

[@SpikeBrewing]

Yes, you'll need a conical fermenter to ferment the beer after brewing

[@juliusumegbolu7797]

Excellent

[@EugeneSulyma]

Why couldn't HLT be used as a chiller after boiling? Also, i wonder, if those false bottom holes in mash tun are too big to clоg pumps with grain?

[@SpikeBrewing]

The copper counter flow chiller is specially designed to chill wort. The HLT does not work well to cool wort. The false bottom is optimized to filter 99% of grain. We would never sell equipment that did not work as intended.

[@bbrocker4uk]

Your 50 gallon system says "1bbl". What is the max output... 31 gallons? I assume the 50 gallon is full to the top and it will produce about 1bbl?

[@walkerrichardson]

The output limit there is however much wort you are comfortable boiling in that kettle. Most people find filling their kettles anything past 80% puts them in a precarious boil-over situation. You could probably get away with a 40 gallon output but that's an odd size for a fermentor. But one barrel (31 gallons) is much safer and would be compatible with most off-the-shelf conicals.

Why dose the HLT tank have a chiller spiral ?

[@ahunt2117]

It's not a chiller. It's a HERMS coil. (Heat Exchanged Recirculation Mash System). The point of a HERMS system is to maintain a consistent mash temperature through a heat exchanger placed in the hot liquor tank.

[@andrewearle1119]

Process Engineer approved. Do you have a P&ID of the system?
