Quiet and sleek looking unit.
Great chiller, efficient and super silent. I replaced my Penguin chiller which needed a degree in electronics to figure out the temp control, had a tiny reservoir and sounded like a window unit air conditioner. Spike’s version is sleek and quiet with intuitive temp control. Love the insulation, which should help my electric bill!
Great chiller, excellent customer service
The new chiller is really great! The quality of the build is better than the other chillers I have purchased. It is very quiet and efficient. In full disclosure, I did purchase the kick starter and had problems with the initial unit leaking. Spike worked with me regularly to try and fix it until I told them I had had enough. At that time they sent me another unit from their warehouse that had been leak tested. The new unit worked perfectly and they gave me everything to send the original back. Their customer service was superb and for that reason alone I will continue buying from them.
Operates as advertised so far but leaks....unfortunately
The chiller arrived a few days ago and I put it to work. Everything has worked well with one 15 gal unitank hooked up, but the chiller is leaking when the glycol reservoir is full or near full at a rate of about 1/2 liter per day based on sight glass tracking. Leak is through the drain port assembly/packing with fairly constant dripping. Waiting to hear from Spike on how this will be resolved.
SPIKE
Drew, sorry about the leak! It looks like our Support team jumped on this and is getting you squared away. Happy brewing!
Looks great, but leaks
Much nicer looking and quieter than my homemade glycol chiller. I was able to do a quick test and saw the temperature dropping nicely. Unfortunately, I woke up to a puddle of glycol the next day. Spike has been working with me, but I’ll have to perform the fix myself. The drain and sight glass are neat, but not worth creating two failure points for leaks in my opinion. I’d encourage Spike to eliminate both in future models.
Excellent
This chiller works great! Very quiet and chills fast.
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...
