Brewing Twice the Fun: Doubling Your Beer Batch with the Spike Trio System
Swig some knowledge as we delve into the delightful world of beer brewing with the Spike Trio System's double batch upgrade. This nifty feature turns your Brew Day into a productivity powerhouse, allowing you to churn out two batches in a single day!
Let's dive into the ins and outs of brewing with the Trio's single batch setup and the miraculous transformations a double batch upgrade can bring to your Brew Day.
Single Batch Roundup
In the single batch mode, you're limited to heating one kettle at a time. It's a dance of heating your Hot Liquor Tank (HLT) water or your Boil Kettle (BK), ensuring the power supply can handle only one at a time. Once you've controlled the mash temperature with the HLT heating element, you shift the power towards the BK and brew away! To churn out another batch, simply wait for your current one to complete boiling.
Double the Pleasure, Double the Brew
Enter the double batch upgrade, a dream come true for beer enthusiasts. This nifty feature lets you power both heating elements simultaneously, heating up water for your HLT and BK at the same time! Say goodbye to waiting around, as once your first batch is sparged, you can instantaneously refill the HLT and start heating up water for the next batch, all while the first one boils away. By the time your first batch rests cozily in the fermenter, you'll already be mashing your second brew!
Some savvy double batch tips:1. Brew two diverse brews and keep two fermenters filled, or brew the same beer twice for a stockpile.2. Not brewing two batches every time? Use the double batch option to heat water in the HLT for cleaning while boiling your batch.
