The Spike Mill

The Spike Mill

The Spike Grain Mill is an outstanding tool for homebrewers and small-scale beer enthusiasts. Its precision engineering ensures consistent grain crush every time, which is critical for achieving optimal efficiency and flavor in brewing. The adjustable rollers make it easy to customize the crush to suit different brewing styles, and the mill's robust build inspires confidence in its durability. One of the standout features is its quiet operation, making it more enjoyable to use compared to many other mills. Its compact design also makes it a great fit for smaller brewing spaces. I particularly appreciate the ease of cleaning and maintenance, which adds to its long-term value. If you're looking to take your brewing game to the next level with a high-quality mill, the Spike Grain Mill is a fantastic choice.

Mill works great, but the finishes left something to be desired

For a $600 mill I would expect near perfection with the mill. Unfortunately, the mill we got was not perfect and we've been unable to actually secure the hopper to our mill fully because the holes that were drilled into the hopper don't actually line up with the holes on the mill which has been pretty frustrating. Other than that, the mill works great so far and I've got no complaints. Just wish qc would've caught the issue with the hopper before it was sent out.

Effortless

I no longer have to guess at the rpm of my drill. Simply turn the dial to the desired gap setting, fill the hopper and your done. Love it.

Awesome customer service!

So glad I bought this!

I have been home brewing for nearly 15 years and for the past eight years I have been milling my own grains using a two roll mill driven by an electric drill. Milling your own grains gives a home brewer the added flexibility to make recipe tweaks right up to the brewday and to keep on hand whole grains - which will keep better than milled grains. The downside is that using a drill leads to an inconsistent grain crush and takes longer. I made the move and bought the Spike Mill with a bucket-top adaptor. This contains all the dust and is more compact than a milling table in my small home brewery. Operation is fast and consistent. It is easy to adjust the crush and load the hopper. Then it's just a matter of turning it on and I can do other brew-day tasks while it is milling. It's perfect, well built and easy to operate. I learned two things in the five or six batches I have milled. 1) You should follow Spike's instructions and turn on the mill before adding the grain. I had one batch that stalled the mill and I had to remove the grain and re-add it while the mill was running. I should have followed the instructions! 2) I had one batch that included rolled outs which I mistakingly added to the weighed out grains. Do not try to mill them! The rolled oats prevented the grains from being pulled into the mill! Great job Spike! A great product that complements my Spike brewhouse well and improves the consistency of the batches I brew.
