United StatesSo far so good
So far, I think so good. I have my first batch fermenting right now. We’ll see how it comes out.
United StatesSpike Flex
Overall, I like the Spike Flex. Stainless steel, upgradable. I’ll like upgrade the lid. The only downside so far for me is the included pickup tube. It doesn’t seem to stay in place, thus it becomes useless for rotation. Otherwise, I would give this piece of hardware a 5 star for the niche it fills.
United StatesGood Fermenter
Good, second batch coming off in about 8 hours. Easy to heat and clean. Fine Workmanship. Will consider more products from this source.
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.
Pressure Capable
The main selling point of the Flex+ over the standard Flex is the ability to pressurize up to 15psi compared to the Flex’s 2psi capabilities. What does this mean? Pressure capable means you can carbonate beer inside your fermenter (as opposed to bottles or kegs) in a little over 24 hours as opposed to a week. You can also pressure transfer your beer directly into a keg or bottles, eliminating any oxygen exposure.
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.
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.
