Spike Brewing

Another Spike innovation that we think solves two big issues. The obvious benefit from insulated lines is increasing your cooling efficiency from your glycol lines. The other benefit is the elimination of line 'sweating'. No more pools of water on your floor during those hot Summer days! *Sold in 6ft increments* Specifications: FDA approved, super flexible PVC tubing 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD tubing 3/8” ID matches temp coil ID; no flow restrictions in the system 3/4" thick flexible insulation Eliminates line sweating and dripping onto your floor Easily connects to our temp control coil with the new Spike Brewing quick connect fittings Made in the USA Detailed TC-100 product guide:Product Guide.pdf

Not all hose barbs are created equal! The Spike Brewing special 1.5" TC x barb fitting features a shorter profile and over sized diameter barb. The over sized barb (5/8" OD) is specially designed for 1/2" Silicone tubing. The larger size does two things: It stretches the tubing over the barb creating a tight fit requiring no hose clamps. The inside diameter of our barb is 1/2" compared to standard 1/2" barbs which have a smaller 3/8" size. This creates a full port design and will not restrict flow going through the barb. Specifications: 304SS 1.5" TC x 5/8" barb 1/2" ID

These USA made temp control coils are specifically designed for the CF series conicals and extend far enough into the conical to temp control both full and half batches. Used in conjunction with a temp controller our temp control coil will help manage your fermentation temps, allow for lagering and cold crashing.The Spike Brewing temp coil simply drops through the top of the lid and quickly attaches with a standard TC clamp. This is a huge improvement over conicals using coils mounted in the side wall. This quick attaching method allows you to lift the coil up slightly to pitch yeast, add hops, etc. The coils are spaced with a sufficient gap for easy cleaning. Simply CIP the conical or soak in brewery wash to easily clean. The temp coil is also a part of Spike Brewing's TC100 Temp Control System and Flex TC100 Bundle that includes everything you need to control your fermentation temperatures!  Detailed TC-100 product guide:Product Guide.pdf Specifications: 4" TC 304SS 3/8" tubing Specifically designed for each size Made in the USA Limited availability in store.  Drop ships from vendor.

The Spike Brewing engineers have totally redesigned the 2" TC sight glass from the ground up! Standard sight glasses use 4 long bolts that need to be tightened in a criss-cross pattern to get even pressure to avoid leaks. Their new design is made up of only 5 parts compared to 26 parts in a standard sight glass. No tools are required to assemble or disassemble; simply twist the knurled end cap off. The glass is also protected by the stainless guard which protects the glass from even the clumsiest brewer.  The sight glass allows for direct attachment to the bottom port of our conicals. The sight glass allows for monitoring flow, color and clarity. A sight glass is also helpful when collecting yeast.

Spike Brewing's insulated conical jacket uses high quality, extra thick, yet flexible neoprene material to insulate your conical from the worst ambient conditions be it a hot garage or cold basement. Each custom designed, hand stitched (in the USA) jacket is custom tailored to fit each size of Spike Brewing's conical line. Their jacket was designed by a former Lululemon designer because if you're going to cover up shiny stainless steel it better look amazing. We think she did the trick!   Specifications: Sewn in the USA (of imported fabric from Japan and China) Reinforced stitching around all ports, legs and handles for extra strength Helps maintain stable fermentation temps regardless of ambient conditions Stops the tank from ‘sweating’ in warm weather Interior Velcro for attaching the optional heater Machine washable   Detailed TC-100 product guide:Product Guide.pdf    Limited availability in store.  Drop ships from vendor.

Unfortunately some of us will have to heat our conicals during the long Winter months. No fear, Spike Brewing has the solution! Each conical has its own sized heater and the wattage of each is carefully designed to match it. They also use a built in thermostat which stops the heater from getting too warm. This means you get a gentle warming action when your beer drops below your desired temp (opposed to rapid heating which can overshoot or 'cook' your beer). This heater attaches to Spike Brewing's insulated conical jacket via Velcro. It rests on the bottom cone section of the conical where the coldest liquid is. This will give the most even temperature throughout your fermenter (happy yeast!). Specifications: Different wattages for each fermenter (ranging from 80w to 150w) Built in 90F thermostat to prevent the heater from overheating your wort 5' long cord Detailed TC-100 product guide:Product Guide.pdf Limited availability in store.  Drop ships from vendor.

Probably the coolest add-on for the Spike Brewing conical line! There heard many brewers who have switched from clear carboys to stainless and they only have one complaint; I can't see my beer fermenting any more! Brewers are curious by nature and we're not ones to stop that curiosity so here is our solution to that problem.Their engineers designed a clear polycarbonate (same material as bullet proof glass) cap which allows you to see inside the top of the conical when it's fermenting. This has also been tested against common brewery chemicals and has held up against the likes of PBW and StarSan. Specifications: 4" TC Clear polycarbonate material

All pumps are not equal! The Spike Brewing engineers tested over 15 pumps during the development of this project and found almost all small submersible pumps on the market are grossly overrated. This can greatly affect your temperature control as flow rate is directly proportional to cooling efficiency.   To use: Simply plug our pump into our temp controller Connect your insulated lines to your temp control coil and to the pump outlet Submerse the pump in your cooler (with ice), fridge with cold water reservoir or glycol chiller Start cooling your wort! Specifications: High flow submersible pump 3/8" barbed outlet (connect directly to our insulated tubing) 12v DC powered (much safer than AC submersible pumps) Suction cups to keep pump submerged Detailed TC-100 product guide:Product Guide.pdf
