Overview
The Spike Glycol Chiller 2.0 was designed to be super user friendly. We've also implemented extra measures to make sure this beast performs the way it should from the moment you unbox it.
-New Drain Assembly: We switched to a more robust O-ring seal in the drain assembly to ensure better protection against leaks and imperfect fit-ups.
-Tank Design Enhancement: To eliminate weak points and greatly reduce the risk of leaking.
-Sight Glass Improvement: We re-engineered the sight glass mounting, introduced superior sealing washings and thread sealant paste to add an extra layer of protection. The sight glass also now includes clearer 'min/max' markings for easier monitoring.
-Stringent Leak Testing: Every chiller that leaves this building undergoes a rigorous multi-day testing process to better replicate real-world usage.
But don't worry, 2.0 still has all features you've come to love like: smaller footprint, locking casters, splash proof lid, simple-to-use control panel and quick connecting fittings for glycol lines.
This beast has a large reservoir which provides plenty of cooling power and with quick connect glycol lines, it's easy to add all those fermenters with just a push of the tube.
Cold Crashing/Lagering Temps Capability:
- Up to 60 gallons of total beer spread across up to 4 fermenters
Fermentation Temperature Control Capability:
- Up to 120 gallons of total beer spread across up to 4 fermenters
We recommend purchasing two Spike Glycol Chillers if your brewery's needs exceed either of these limits at any given time.

United StatesSeems to be working as originally expected
Filled the 2.0 fully with water and let that sit for 3 weeks before leak checking. Everything seemed to hold. Put it in service a couple weeks ago now. In comparison to the first chiller sent, this one seems just a little louder when it runs, but it seems to be much more powerful in terms of speed to chill. Not sure if my first one had a compressor issue.
United StatesWorks great
I have been using the Penguin chiller for a few years now. I does what it should do but has its hiccups. The chiller from spice is a whole lot Quiter, more efficient and user friendly than the penguin. Definity worth the upgrade. Just wish it came with the pumps.
United StatesCools great but there's a slow leak
First, this review is in response to Chiller 1.0. The only reason I know of 2.0 is Spike sent out a launch email stating they fixed design issues and are releasing a new product. Great way to annoy people with the 1.0 that was out for a few months. I pre-ordered the 1.0 chiller and waited months for it to arrive which was to be expected. Unfortunately, there is a small leak that I've been chasing and cannot seem to find. At first i assumed it was condensation due to the temperature difference between the room and the chiller (the summer months can be brutal), however I've confirmed that it is in fact glycol on my floor. Taking things apart and troubleshooting at this price point is beyond frustrating and this seems to be the norm with Spike's products.
United StatesIt’s an absolute beast of a unit. But the description is a bit misleading. Pictures show the unit with pumps, but they’re not included. You have to dig through the technical tap to find that the pumps and controllers are not included. They state this is because the first things to fail are usually pumps.
United StatesWorking like a champion.. thank you Spike!
Quiet
We can confidently say the Spike Glycol Chiller is the quietest on the market. This thing softly purrs like a kitten. At just 47 dB, it hums like a refrigerator. It's quieter than most noise machines to fall asleep to. It's quiet, quick and efficient.

Capacity
A 7-gallon capacity reservoir gives plenty of cooling power to all (up to four) of your fermenters. And with quick connecting glycol lines, it's easy to add all those fermenters with just the push of a tube.
Easy to Use
You need the temperature to go up? Press up. Need the temp to go down? Press down. Change from Celsius to Fahrenheit with just the push of a button. No complicated compressor delay, calibration or complex settings. We figured out all that for you and programmed it into the backend.
Cooling
Our goal was to create a powerful machine that looks great and is a great value. We really like this chart because it shows the range of actual cooling capacities—not overstated cooling capacities. You'll see a lot of our competitor's chillers come in at roughly the 2,300 BTU/hr mark. We found this to be the sweet spot for cooling four homebrewing size fermenters. Anything more is overkill and anything less is going to struggle. While we're not the highest, that was intentional. Basically, we're right where we want to be...
