@Nagorg If you are not moving it you dont need the bracing shelf. The thermowell is an interesting move. The thermometer has to cost more and its useless if people are running glycol. I wonder if you contacted them if they would swap it out. They sell that thermometer for $30 and the...

I have several spike tanks between home and work I love them. My complaints about them are: The lid seal can be a pain to seat occasionally They don't come with the racking arm standard The leg design on the CF10 is not conducive to wheels without a bottom bracing shelf. The bottom bracing...

Back to observations and best practices. I put this together from some parts on amazon and it handled a 10oz dry hop well and has also worked with raspberries. There is a company out there that makes a version of this but they charge more than I was willing to pay to see if it worked. This cost...

Im done with the warranty talk there isn't anything fruitful coming out of this. @CodeSection you are not going to be pleased until there is a notarized warranty on their site and thats fine. As for myself I will trust the company and products I have been using without issue for the past 6...

Below is a screenshot of Spike's reply regarding their warranty. I assume they are formulating a new written warranty because they were sued or were having their original warranty exploited. It is possible that their warranty was to open initially and they needed to get a lawyer to ratify a...

You clearly have a frustration or agenda against Spike I'm interested in what happened or what it stems from. I doubt it has much to do with the removal of a warranty statement. Were you the guy who blew up his fermentor trying to pressure ferment? I kid. I did not give the glowing review of...

I have a keg of year or two old sour that is at 3. Have you calibrated your meter recently? I have that one at work and it drifts a lot on us. If that beer is that low and acetic is minimal it may be worth saving some and feeding it every so often to use as an acid "barrel' It's nice to have...

throw in on a stir plate for 15-20 minutes.

No problem asking questions. It is curious if they had a warranty up and then took it down. Have you asked them? I just sent them an email to see what they say. I don't view stout or brewershardware as direct comparison. Both of those companies are pro focused and comparable products are...

Honestly my guess is because some idiot did something with a unitank and tried to sue them. It could also just be an oversight. Realistically what is their to warranty outside of manufacturing defects on anything they produce? Spikes front page says "At Spike, we take pride in our craftsmanship...

That lip is wonky. all of mine are pretty much 90°. Reach out to Spike and they will figure it out. You would need hulk hand to bend that with the clamp so I assume it wasn't pressed right at the factory

I have zero concern written or not that Spike would stand behind their products. If it concerns you I would shoot them an email. About 6 months ago I realized that they forgot to send me something I had ordered in order of several different items. I realized this about 3 months after the...

I liked you until you said "get some lactose in there"

My guess is the Spike system is going to take awhile longer than they expected to get the pricing because of all this covid stuff. I own a lot of spike equipment and am a borderline fanboy. I currently run a 3 vessel eherms but will be buying their basket when its available just to try it out...

that will be sticky for awhile

I hate my MM3. I had a cheap barley crusher dialed in and loved it till it gave up the ghost. I replaced it with a mm3 and my efficiency dropped 10%. I have gapped the mill with several different tools and I can’t get back to where I was. MM couldnt explain the issue. I have used my...

If you bought it with spike I would discuss it with them before attempting to sand anything down. You need special non ferrous stainless specific tools / paper for that. I don't really see anything worth fussing with there but it's hard to tell. I would go take a look at mine but there are all...

Photos would probably be easier. Generally they are smooth feeling though.

Spike was and is a much smaller outfit than SS. I agree that the CF series took forever to come out but thats what happens when you don't have 20 million in annual revenue SS does to tap into to get designs pushed through. This is even more the case now since SS is part of a massive...

Its the lid design. Spike uses a large band clamp and has a fully removable top. SS has a 6" triclamp port on top. Tri clamps are a stronger sealing mechanism but create a smaller port. The band clamp allows for better access. To me the benefit of the removable lid for cleaning is a...
