Another cool innovation from the Spike Brewing engineers; their low pressure CIP ball! They wanted to design a CIP ball that didn’t require home brewers to purchase another pump if they already owned one. Small brewery pumps, like Chugger and March pumps used on our Spike System, are very common for most home brewers. However, most CIP balls require a much larger pump to work properly. This CIP ball was specifically designed to work with the more common 7GPM pumps. It has also been tested with larger sump pumps which are also commonly used for CIP applications. Spike Brewing also designed the CIP ball to fit through a 1.5" TC port. This allows for quick install of the CIP ball after fermentation. This works especially well with cleaning the temp control coil. They recommend a 5-10min CIP with 160F brewery wash to give a nice and shiny FLEX or conical fermenter. Pro Tip:If you do not have a FLEX+ lid with 1.5" TC port you can attach the CIP ball to the secondary port of your FLEX after an initial dump and rinse. Then simply CIP as described above! Specifications: 1.5" TC x 1.5" TC 304SS Low flow design

Spike Brewing's 1/2” stainless steel ball valve screws directly into our brew kettles, no need for an additional nipple to make the connection like competitors valves. This valve is dual sided with a male (which screws directly into your kettle) and a female end (which allows for a 1/2" barb or other 1/2" fitting). The 3 piece valve completely disassembles so a thorough cleaning is easy.  Specifications: Made from 304 stainless steel 1/2" NPT male end screws directly into the kettle Full port 5/8” inner diameter

The Spike Brewing insulated FLEX jacket uses high quality, extra thick, yet flexible neoprene material to insulate your FLEX from the worst ambient conditions like a hot garage or cold basement. Each custom designed, hand stitched (in the USA) jacket is custom tailored to fit the FLEX. This 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

Spike Brewing's TC100 temp control system will manage both cooling and heating of your Spike Conical. The digital controller's temp probe will feed into the included thermowell on our CF Series Conical. Also included is a specially fitted neoprene jacket which features reinforced port holes to reduce the chance of ripping during install. Last (and maybe the coolest item) is Spike Brewing's special insulated tubing. This almost eliminates tube cooling losses and will prevent your cooling lines from sweating all over your floor! Cooling:When the temp in the conical rises above the set point it will turn on the pump submerged in your cold water reservoir (bucket of ice water, dorm fridge, aquarium or glycol chiller, DIY AC chiller, etc). This will pump cold water/glycol through the temp control coil, which mounts to the lid, cooling your beer until it reaches the controller set point. Heating:When the temp in the conical falls below the controller set point the optional heater will kick on warming the unit up.  Detailed product guide:Product Guide.pdf TC100 Package:-Digital closed loop controller (heating and cooling)-Insulated tubing (more efficient and no more sweaty tubes!-Temp control coil-Neoprene insulated jacket-Submersible pump (pumping cold water through the temp coil)-Temp Coil Quick Connect Fittings TC100 + Heat Package:-TC100 Package (above)-Optional heater (for us northern brewers)    Limited availability in store.  Drop ships from vendor.

This allows it to screw directly into Spike Brewing carb stone as well as the their gas manifold.  Specifications: Stainless steel Ball lock x 1/4" NPT Comes with replacement o-ring

If you didn't already know the Spike Conical is a unitank! This means it is designed to handle pressures up to 15psi. This capability allows you to add 15psi of pressure needed to carbonate your beer before transferring to your keg. This will reduce carbonation times from upwards of a week down to less than 24hrs. Spike Brewing's carb stone is designed to attach to the outside of the racking port butterfly valve. This means the carb stone can be installed when you need it and won't be sitting inside the tank during the entire fermentation process. This eliminates the chance for the stone to become clogged. It also has a protective stainless housing which prevents damaging the very brittle 'stone'.
