- Introducing the Spike Glycol Chiller AMA! You had tons of great questions, and we're here to answer all of them, including ones like: What's the BTU? How many fermenters can be hooked up at one time? Is it quiet? Why is there a drain port? Adam, Taylor and Caleb will walk through all these and more with the latest pre-production unit run of the Spike Glycol Chiller. So without further ado...

0:00 - Intro
0:35 - Will you come out with a smaller unit?
1:33 - How do the glycol lines connect to the chiller?
2:30 - How many fermenters can the Spike chiller control at one time?
3:35 - Why is there a drain port?
4:20 - Reservoir, propylene glycol/water ratio and how do you prevent freezing?
5:58 - Why doesn't the Spike chiller have built-in pumps or controllers?
6:50 - What is the sight glass on the side used for?
7:46 - How is our temp control system easier to use than competitors?
9:23 - How does the cord routing work for the submersible pumps?
10:35 - Can I reuse the pumps and controllers that I already have?
11:25 - How loud is the Spike glycol chiller?
12:24 - What's the HP/BTU/hr? - Jak na to + styl
Excellent job! I like the connectors inside pointing straight down as the cold can cause the tubing to become rigid, being forced in a downward direction makes the glycol mixture return very safe.
Can't wait until January!
EUROPE - WE NEED YOU IN EUROPE. COME ONE AND PLEASE!!!!!!
Make it happen.
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.
It’ll cold crash no problem! It’s not of the most powerful chillers on the market so not sure where that concern is coming from.
I don't need it smaller . I just need it!
Can you comment on your Jacketed fermenter concept from the workshop? Any pics or features you can chat about?
We don't have any more details other than what's on the product page yet. We'd recommend signing up for the Waitlist to stay in the loop on develop and have the chance to weigh in on market research surveys.
When are these going to drop for purchase?
Make sure your on the back in stock email list! We'll be sending out an email on that any day now...
Okay so first of all nice product. It's good that multiple companies creates such systems for fermenting. But. There is no clear answer to what it can do. A Grainfather GC4 has thicker glycol lines and they say that it can cool down 4 fermenters of 70 liters to 4 degrees celcius. In practice they can keep 4 100 liter fermenters at 5 degrees celcius. But your answer is like: Yeah, it depends on setup. Why don't you just test it and show results? Your price is quite low compared to other systems. Show results and people will buy. Keep up the good work. I really like your products.
The problem is there are too many permutations to test. You can have 4 fermenters ranging from 5gal to 30gal from temps of 35F to 80F in all sorts of ambient conditions. As a rule of thumb we say:
Lagering Temps Capability:
(2) 1bbl fermenters
(4) Flex, CF5, CF10 or CF15's
Fermentation Temperature Control Capability:
(4) 1bbl fermenters
(4) Flex, CF5, CF10 or CF15's
Also we will have a cooling capacity comparison on noise comparison on the site and social media soon. Stay tuned!
@@SpikeBrewingThanks for answering! That is so great that you actually take the time to read out the comments and answer. I truly understand that there are too many permutations to test. So I hope either you or other people are going to test it all. I will stay tuned.
Why don't you ship to European countries. Especially those UniTanks 😭
