Has anyone ever rigged up a DIY set of cooling coils for use with a glycol chiller? If so, what did you do? I had a couple of different ideas, but as someone decidedly lacking in skills or experience, I'd rather hear about what actually worked before initiating hack and slash operations. I...
All.. I wanted to share what I am doing to maximize my AC chiller usage as well as solve the issue with using water in the garage in the winter months. Basically I have setup my AC chiller to drive the coils in my CF10 for chilling as well as the ability to drive cold glycol into my plate...
1/3 HP Penguin Chillers Glycol Chiller. Used for one batch of beer. Additional control unit and thermometer included for same price.
Local pickup preferred, but will ship in original packaging. Got this from their refurb section of the website.
Hello all. Looking for a glycol chiller.
Decided to spend the $ and not go diy.
As far as i can tell, there are 3 basic models under a grand: ss brewtech 1/5 hp, penguim 1/3 hp, and the icemaster 100 brewbuilt brand available here in the us at morebeer.
Other than prices, what are some pros...
I have an Icemaster G40 glycol chiller for sale. This glycol chiller functions perfectly. I am asking $475 for the glycol chiller. Can easily cold crash three 7 gallon conicals. I am located in Nashville, TN.
Hello,
I built a glycol chiller from an old 5000 BTU window A/C unit a few months ago. It works great, except that every 2 or 3 chilling cycles (on average) it trips the GFCI outlet I have it plugged into. I've tried different circuits and removed every other load from the circuit and it still...
Hi folks
I believe some of you have both grainfather's chiller and conical. Same here :)
But unfortunately new equipment usually does not include an additional appartment's space ;) so I'd like to optimize the space somehow....
Do you know/have you tried by chance to install conical on top of...
I am selling 2 conical fermentors on a rolling stand that is glycol chilled. There is a cooler attached to house the glycol with a 5k btu air conditioner coild cooling the glycol. Comes with control panel that allows gylcol temp to be set along with independent temperature settings for each...
I sold the Harley! Now, I'm planing an upgrade to my system (basic/intro setup). I am anxiously awaiting SS Brewtechs Electric setup, but figured I can work on upgrading post boil
I am also looking at using the Glycol Chiller for cooling wort post boil. I know I can't use it directly, but I...
Another stab at building a cheap Window-AC based Chiller. I snagged the Frigidaire Analog unit from the clearance section at Sears for 25.00 out the door... Add a 35 dollar cooler, a trusty STC-1000, and a aquarium wave generator and here it is.
First, build the cart, to keep the whole unit...
Here's my glycol build. Not finalized but wanted to cold crash the fermenter so figured I'd test it out.
STC 2000 controls the AC unit. Wiring is the compressor hot and low fan wire connected to input hot with a paper clip and neutral input to start capacitor with paper clip. Everything to...
At $900, a Penguin glycol chiller is a huge purchase for me. Naturally, I went searching for reviews but came up basically empty handed. Ive seen it mentioned on here a couple times in 2 or 3 threads, but there weren't a lot of details given.
Who out there has a Penguin Glycol Chiller and can...
I have every little room so I am forced to use the outside, if turned part of my side hard into my brew area as I have my rig moderator and brewing storage (Rubbermaid totes with a outdoor furniture cover). I have been brewing for awhile my problem is my fermentation chamber is an my kegerator i...
Hey guys, new to the forum and I figure I would share my bar build for the new house my wife and I bought end of last year. The basement had a pretty large rec room (close to 30x30) with a bar already in it. Plan was to update the bar, flooring, and new paint. We still have yet to paint the...
Greetings folks, I have not posted on any brewing forums for years and years but I’ve got a new project that I figure some people may be interested in.
Background:
I bought two MoreBeer 12 gal fermenters back in 2008. I then made an AC unit glycol chiller for them based on “Backyard...
