United StatesGreat Stainless Steel Fermentor
I have been contemplating moving up to stainless fermentors for quite some time now and finally pulled the trigger on the Spike Flex, man what a difference. Cleaning and transferring beer is a breeze compared to using glass fermentors.. I brew a lot and will definitely be replacing all of my glass fermentors with either the Flex or Flex+ as my budget allows. Thank you Spike Brewing for making a great product!
United StatesAn absolute must buy.
I’ve got another brands stainless bucket and while yes the price is significantly higher than it. The overall quality and fit and finish was well worth the cost of entry. If you can only get one fermenter? Get this one. I should have gotten two on that sale. Sigh.
United StatesDefiantly a step up!
30 years ago I started homebrewing with a plastic bucket as my fermenter, I moved to glass Carboys, then wide mouth Carboys, but I decided to treat myself this summer with my first Spike purchase. Just finished my first beer in it, and it was so easy to clean. The conical bottom kept the yeast out of my finished beer, and the optional sample port was a good purchase as well. And let's face it... it looks bad a$$. It looks and acts like a professional piece of gear, and I'm looking forward to many years, and beers, using it.

The quality is outstanding! This will get passed down to my son one day.
United StatesIt's Shiney
It worked great the only time I used it. The only complaint is that the outlet valve it is very heavy and is 1.5" but the pickup tube is .5". I sent it through a .375 hose to the serving keg.That leaves a lot of room for O2 contact if you are trying to do low O2 Brewing. I am planning on buying a .5" valve.
Upgradable
With over 25 accessories available there’s no limit to what this fermenter can do! Want to add a thermometer or sight glass? It has ports for attaching those. Want to add wheels or leg extensions to transfer directly into a keg? It can do that, too!
Stainless Steel
We all start with glass carboys or plastic buckets, but the day you graduate to stainless is the day brewing gets extra fun. 304 stainless steel is professional grade, easy to clean, scratch resistant and will last a lifetime.

Removable Lid
To remove the lid, simply pop off all five clips around the side. That way, you can get your entire arm in the fermenter to clean and sanitize it.
