Limited Time Deal, Review Continues Below:

Spike Brewing Equipment’s Bargain Cave features limited quantities of discounted gear. Selection can range wildly from new gear to, canceled custom items to commercial scale items. Availability of items is generally very limited.

As of this posting multiple conicals have just become available. That includes popular CF5 and CF10 Conicals

Check our our Spike Reviews including Conicals and the FLEX, but I would hurry…

If you see something you like, my suggestion is to purchase right away as availability can change quickly.

After well over a year of evaluating, I splurged recently and got a Spike Conical (the CF5). I’ve seen quite a few others going through this debate period, so I wanted to provide a hot take to help others in their own decision making process. So far I’ve assembled and prepped it for my first brews, but haven’t actually used it yet. Most of the points here will be about equipment quality/features rather than practice.

For context; I added on the temp control bundle with heater, leg extensions, casters, extended bracing shelf, and a few other nice to haves. So some of these will cover things that aren’t part of the “core” conical package.
