i built a very large one(holds 12 carboys) and i pump fluid from a frezzer through a aux. radiator cooler with a fan. before i had plumbed it i was using 2 gallon milk jugs with glycol/water mix (the glycol absorbs more cold energy) and it worked fine.

I have one and I just lagered an Oktoberfest at 40*F for three weeks. Needed 2 frozen gallon jugs each day almost. Just changed them out in the morning everyday (2 in the freezer, 2 in the chamber)
Nice one! that sounds like a fair amount of work (all the freezing). Let me know how the Oktoberfest turns out.
Does anybody have some good tips for making the son of fermentation chiller as cold/well insulated as possible? i saw somebody put little cat flaps over the intake and outtake holes, I am not sure how much that would help though.
thanks,
How much room do you have and how many carboys/kegs at one time?
