I am two brews in on my Spike System. I have been hitting or exceeding my OG numbers so far. I am struggling a little with temperatures after mashing in. So far I have been adding cool water to the HLT to try and get the HLT to about 5 degrees warmer then my desired mash temp. The problem is...

Attaching a few more pictures for clarity. Some background might help as well. I purchased my Spike System without the pumps, panel, temp sensors, and power cords over a year ago thinking I would build my own panel (and get my 50 AMP power ran to the brew area). I finally got around to the...

Those valves are for bleeding air from the system for priming (this is a Spike design and it works great). The inlet of the pump is rotated to the top as opposed to the bottom. I really do not use the Blichmann valves - I bought these pumps because they are quiet and they perform well.

seeing this on other Spike Systems I thought it would be more convenient during brew day - less bending over to connect hoses.

Figured I would share the finished product for the table reinforcement idea from DrummingGuy81. Thanks again DrummingGuy81...this worked perfectly and table is not flexing at all now. Also attached are pics of how I attached my pumps with two stainless steel muffler clamps. Had to drill 1/2"...

Perfect thank you for your help.

Drumminguy81 - I know this thread is over a year old, but can you provide more details on how you attached the uni-strut to the underside of your table? Did you use large sheet metal screws to attach to the existing reinforcement channel and how are the lengthwise struts attached? Thanks in...

Very stable. No rocking once you have the center post and feet adjusted properly. Essentially, you adjust the feet until the center post touches the ground. I move it occassionally to clean but put some sharpie marks on the floor so I dont need to readjust for a new spot.

Shipping will be rather expensive so I would rather deal locally. Plus, this would have to be disassembled to ship properly which would likely take an entire day to do so.

Complete setup including Blichmann Brew Stand and (3) burners, Tower of Power with (2) control modules, 1 pump, (3) 20 Gallon stainless steel kettles (Polarware like) fully outfitted. $4200.00+ invested - selling package deal for $2000 - that is 52% less than you will pay new for equipment...

Doug - does anyone have some good pictures using your single element, 2 pump w/ Interlock design?

Update - all wired with reversing switch and double pole for power and working great. Thanks Raouliii and Bobby M for your help on this! Very much appreciated.

Sorry about the last post. For some reason all I saw was the first line and not the remainder of the detail. Thanks again for the information.

Thank you for this. You even answered the question I did not ask about a separate switch for power. I think I proved to myself I didn't understand how this worked until I saw this diagram. One final question - with the diagram above, with 110V energized, will I have an issue with the DPDT-CO...

Thanks for the quick reply Bobby. So center tabs are hot and neutral from power and tabs to the left in picture are T5 and T8? I am still confused what to do with the other L2 and Join leads. Is your switch in the picture Center off ? Thanks for the patience with me on this one. fyi... love...
