Just wondering if anyone has used the Spike brewing system for their all grain brewing? I'm considering buying one but I'm concerned about using GF grains in it. Usually systems are designed with barley in mind, and our crush is so fine I'm wondering if it screws the system up. And if you're using a similar system, but modifications have you had to make. I'm guessing that BIAB would be one way to fix any issues.

You should e-mail spike brewing and see waht they say. I'm satisfied with my Spike MT and BK.

I'm doing a partial mash in a HERMS system, .025 crush, and it seems to recirc fine with rice hulls.
That said, I am getting a bit of grain particles in the Boiler, so maybe a panyhose over the outlet of the hose as you transfer to the BK.
