    Well, they are certainly out now, a day later. I just checked.

    Warning to Spike Trio/Electric Brewing users

    I have been a huge supporter of Spike, and have been very positive of their equipment. Then this problem happens, and the response from Spike and EBS (both here and in emails to me) that this is well known and I should have been aware of it and maintaining my panel didn't sit well. I did...

    Bitter, Undrinkable Bottles

    I use and re-use my Starsan for six months or more at a time. But I run a pH test on it regularly to verify its acidity. No issues at all.

    Warning to Spike Trio/Electric Brewing users

    Thanks, Kal, very interesting read from both your write up, and the links you provided. I did replace the outlets and the wiring to them, but used an old fashioned Phillips head screwdriver, not a Torque wrench style screwdriver, and reading the article you posted I should probably do that...

    Warning to Spike Trio/Electric Brewing users

    Brewed a batch today (a 20 gallon clone of Mack & Jacks) and no issues with the repair. Everything appears to be working great, no smoke, no flames, just a great beer (I hope) and successful boil. As far as issues with recalls, sending things back, etc... This is not a car or truck, that if...

    Warning to Spike Trio/Electric Brewing users

    I got the replacement parts and wire yesterday and fixed the panel. All told, about 45 minutes to do, only because I was hyper-careful and double/triple checked everything I did, then did a system test after that. Moving forward, this will not be difficult to check annually, as long as you have...

    Warning to Spike Trio/Electric Brewing users

    Agreed. I am buying wire and outlets direct from EBS (maker of the panels) and using their recommended material. I am at 240 volts, and am assuming that I will get the correct gauge wire for that. I will be testing the connections before firing it up...

    Warning to Spike Trio/Electric Brewing users

    First off, the DIY culture here in the US (and likely most other places) is very strong. Just go down the electrical aisle in any Home Depot or other hardware store with electrical items and objects in the thousands, and many are far more complicated than this is. So, here's the very simple...

    Warning to Spike Trio/Electric Brewing users

    Spike responded to my email (forwarding it to EBS) who also responded rather quickly. I purchased the replacement outlets and wires from them...rather have the right items than just some stuff bought from Home Depot. EBS also claimed that it was likely caused by loose connections. While I am...

    Warning to Spike Trio/Electric Brewing users

    I got my Spike Trio in late 2018, and have made over 100 batches. 20-gallon system, with the 50-amp box. I wanted to check something in the box today, opened it and smelled the distinct odor of electrical overheating. It has been about 4-days since I have had the panel on, and I was obviously...

    Short Circuited Brewing

    So, it's been about 4-5 months since Brian has posted any videos on his Short Circuited Brewing YouTube channel. Anyone know what is going on here? I hope everything is alright...

    Boil kettle condenser - no overhead ventilation needed

    Not necessarily true. I've had my steam condenser for over three years now and have run plenty of batches thru it. While the output water is warm, it is nowhere near scalding hot. My beers have never had any issue with off tastes or other bad flavors. I have been running a Spike Trio with...

    How, and how often to clean mill?

    I have the Blichmann mill. I roll it out to the garage door then take my electric leaf blower and blow it clean. That way I get the flour and small particles everywhere off the mill. Works great!
