My SS Brewtech glycol chiller has lost most of its capacity to cool. It gets the glycol reservoir down to target temperature eventually, but it can’t keep up with even a single 5-gallon batch if I want to go lower than 65°F. Cooling more than one batch, lager fermentations, and cold crashing are no longer possible.
It shows all signs of just being low on coolant. It’s a closed system, though. Even if I were inclined, I don’t have the tools necessary to find/fix a leak, add a
valve, and add top it up with coolant.
I’ve tried a few small appliance repair shops in the neighborhood, and they all decline to look at it or throw their hands up when they do. It’s basically got all the parts of a small refrigerator, so I am a bit stumped by their reluctance.
Anyone in the St. Louis area know of someone who’d be willing to look at a glycol chiller?
