I like the Spike products, and you sold me for sure on the Flex fermenter, I went and ordered one after watching your vidya. I was anxious to get one. I went and bought a new system recently, anticipating this one's arrival. I wasn't going to wait with so many great systems on the market to be had that will get me brewing more consistently. They slow played the homebrewer, by targeting the highest denominations of expendable currency with 3 vessel HERMS, and I understand it. But the success of the numerous single vessel and 2 vessel systems that target the smaller homebrew market is where they stood to gain the most ground. The reality is, I can get a decent homebrew system from every continent, but I can only get a 3 vessel HERMS from Spike.

If Spike can fix the obvious deficiencies, such as the word way the basket hangs and a good sparge arm, recirculating pump included and a four prong dryer plug connection for ease of utilizing what most folks have already, than I'm sold! I like the 20 gallon system too. Thanks for the update. I hope it goes well for you on your inaugural brew day. I'll be watching!👍

Thanks for the feedback David. The way the basket hangs on the kettle is actually one of the selling points. Interested to know what deficiencies you see? Since this is a single vessel, no sparge design a sparge arm is not needed. We will include a pump with our turn key system.

My Dad used to brew beer in a 20 gallon crock out in the garage..............I remember me and my brother stealing beer out of the fridge and how good it was. Looks like you take this stuff pretty serious, it would be nice to be there on sample day. Looking forward to you getting this set up and working.

Hi Larry! I just purchased a 10 gallon kettle from Spike. The lid didn’t fit at all like yours. They told me it became out of round in shipping. An engineer taught me how to sit on it to get it back into round. I think it Is a common problem with their kettles as he designed the special method to fix them. I hope they figure out another way to prevent this from happening as it is pretty disappointing to spend this much on something you have to sit and bounce on to repair yourself. I was looking forward to buying this system but I definitely won’t until they figure out how to make the lid fit correctly on the pot, and clean up the welds.

American manufacturers of electric brewing equipment might take inspiration from the Speidel Braumeister line from Germany. The U.S. brands seem fixated on form over function - heavy, shiny, lots of impressive valves, ports, and clamps, and of course, they are BIG. In contrast, the German equipment is sleek; all components are integrated to the highest practical degree, and the designs are spartan yet utterly focused on functionality. It seems odd that this system is taking so long to be finalized and revealed, and with so much apparent anticipation, when in fact it's already passe among other choices in the market. Of course I will still watch these videos with interest!

Have you seen Clawhammer Supply’s BIAB system? It’s been out for a few years, they recently released a 240v so it has more power. It’s a great system and I think you should try it out as well. I definitely like their system a little more and it comes with a pump and chiller plate.

We want to get prototype units out in the field for test, reviews, etc. We want to give potential customers plenty of time to do research prior to purchase. This is best done by getting these 80% production ready units in the field now rather than waiting until launch day.

Thanks, Larry! I know it’s a prototype, but why do all of these controllers have to be so big and clunky? It’s like they’re launching a spaceship with giant buttons and switches! 🚀 the grainfather has had a small one for a while, even with their latest g70! Just gives me a feeling that it’s pieced together with some scrap components in some guys garage. For the money, I’d like to see more attention paid to the electronics and some refinement. Not just slapping a cheap aluminum heat sink on the back with some micro fans. Hopefully the production ones will be better.

Thanks for the feedback! We chose to go with PIDs and SSRs as they are proven and very industrial. PCBs, software, bluetooth, wifi are very fancy however their issue rate is far higher especially with smaller companies like all players in the home brew space (none of us are Apple). We know for a fact that other brands using this tech have much higher issue rates than our panels (this is coming from retailers). If you want a HMI controller with all the bells and whistles we totally respect that. However we can guarantee a brew day won't be ruined do to a software glitch, wifi being down, bluetooth not connecting, etc, etc.

Spike Brewing That’s an interesting perspective. Is that what your user research showed you? Certainly reliability is #1, but I’d imagine convenience and connectivity is close behind. I for example, am currently a grainfather owner and looking to scale to a new system, but what’s attractive to me in their system is opposite in yours. It feels like it would be taking a step backwards. Spike is known for great hardware, and that’s paramount, but it’s been my experience that the consumer market in “e”brewing heavily favors the “e”. Headaches are expected and par for the course. And I’m not suggesting you need to have the fanciest software, “bells and whistles” or connectivity. Just provide a smart, convenient, and well thought out controller to go along with a reliable and dependable system. That controller you pieced together looks like it belongs at nasa, from 1982! It’s not smart or convenient! I just expected you to pay equal attention to the design and innovation on the controller that you did with the rest of the product. I had been waiting for this release for a long time, but unfortunately, don’t think it’s for me.

@@mscappa fair enough! To each their own. Another reason we sell the basket separately so people can build as they would like. We aren't a software company don't plan to be anytime soon. Our market research has shown the 'smart' systems out there have tons of glitches and connectivity issues which lead to a terrible user experience.
