Hi all
Please could someone assist me with an issue regarding a chiller coil that has me stumped.
I've recently purchased a glycol chiller to use for fermentation temp control. I've also purchased a chiller coil which is in the image below
In this case with this 30L fermenter, the coil goes quite deep into the fermenter, as I tried to illustrate in this pic below
I've been testing the temp control with just water and what I've seen is that the water above the coil is essentially not cooling to the right temp and stays a few degrees warmer, but the water below and around the coil is at the right temp. Which makes sense to me as cold water will drop and warmer water will rise to the top.
How do I rectify this issue? Would I need to ensure that the coil is as close as possible to the top of the liquid with this sort of coil? Circulating fermenting wort doesn't seem like an option to me nor have I ever heard of anyone doing that.
