Spike Solo System

Great Upgrade to Electric Brewing

Having spent 11 years haulijg equipment up/down stairs to brew out side and having several brew days cancelled to being too cold, I finally started planning for my future of homebrewing and built a brewing room in my basement. Due to space and costs, the Spike Solo 20+ was perfect for my situation and has worked like a dream. Thanks Spike!

Solo Brewing

It's fine but I have a few comments. I had an actual conversation with someone at Spike and asked what all i need for I was committed to get everything needed. I need a total of 3 hoses with at least 5 connection points when chilling the wort yes? If that is indeed the case I was only supplied 2 hoses with 4 connections. So that was a little frustrating to say the least. As far as the system itself I am very happy. I just don't like not having everything I need to start the process.

Well worth the money

This system is far superior in quality compared to my other electric systems. Controller is super easy to use. No calibration. It does require a little more attention with mashing and recirculation. I scorched my first batch because I ran my riptide pump too high. But that is more user error. Support is great. Would recommend the solo to anyone beginner or seasoned. Cheers
