Spike | Glycol Chiller
The NEW Spike Glycol Chiller makes stabilizing and cooling your fermenter temperatures a breeze. We included must-have features like an integrated glycol drain port, quick connecting fittings for glycol lines, splash proof lid, locking casters and even a glycol sight glass to check glycol volumes. Oh, did we mention how good it looks? It's a class act.
The NEW Spike Glycol Chiller was designed to be super user friendly. Want to increase your temperature? Press the up button. No more complicated parameters to setup; we've already done that hard work for you. The unit has a small footprint, moves around your brewery easily thanks to the included casters and can chill up to four fermenters!
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.

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.
Cooling
The goal was to create a powerful machine that looks great and is a great value. This chart because it shows the range of actual cooling capacities—not overstated cooling capacities. You'll see a lot of the 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.
