Racking Arm Included!
The Spike Flex includes a rotatable racking arm as a standard item. This allows you to rotate the racking arm as you drain your Flex. You’ll start draining in the upwards position and rotate until the beer stops running clear. And since the Flex was designed to be modular, the full tri-clamp racking arm with a position indicator can be purchased at a later date as a cool new upgrade!
4" LID PORT
The Spike Flex features a 4” tri-clamp welded onto the lid. Why? Modularity. This allows you to attach our drop in temp control coil, clear cap and allows for easy hop additions. Our temp control coil extends deep into the Flex so both full batches (5-6gal) and half batches (2.5-3gal) can be efficiently cooled. The 4” port also allows for unmatched simplicity when adding hops during your fermentation. Gone are the days of removing the entire lid which allows oxygen in and also opens the door for an infection.
OPTIONAL TC100 FULL TEMP CONTROL PACKAGE
Temp control is arguably the most important aspect of brewing. Proper temperature control can eliminate off flavors and manipulate flavor profiles that different yeasts produce at different temps. Up until this point precise fermentation temp control was only available on larger more expensive fermenters – not anymore. Our full temp control package includes the temp coil, insulated tubing, quick connect tube fittings, cooling pump, insulated jacket and dual temp controller. We also have a heater available for us cold weather brewers. All that’s needed for cooling is a cold water source! Many people use a cooler with ice, fridge with a glycol reservoir or even a glycol chiller!
