Hi Guys
I realise this topic is a little done but wanted to try and figure out what makes a fridge temp water/glycol cooling system work or fail, since I have read some mixed results on this forum and others. Am therefore very keen to hear from people who have used 'beer temp' cooling liquid to successfully cool their lines, specifically details around run length, line material, level of insulation, and reservoir size. Comments around systems that didnt work would also be appreciated, since there seems to be a few people who have been disatisfied with using fridge temp coolant to cool their lines. Am kicking myself a little cause I recently went out and bought a fridge specifically to put under the house and pipe the beer 6-7' up to the tower, assumed Id be able to use fridge temp coolant to do the job. After reading the mixed results Im kinda left wishing Id bought a frdige freezer to have dedicated glycol chamber, but keen to give the fridge temp cooling system a crack if I can be convinced it'll work. Thanks in advance!
