glycol

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...

Hey guys I'm currently designing a multi vessel fermentation setup. I don't have the space for a chamber. I'm very space limited but have technical expertise so have decided to go DIY glycol chiller route. Glycol bath and AC on balcony, fermentation chambers just inside wall. I'm wondering if...

Hey guys, So I'm in the middle of building a new house. Naturally this seems like a good time to upgrade my kegerator. I want to run four lines from a chest keezer in the basement to four faucets on the floor above. One of these lines will just be seltzer water we can use to mix up sodas...

After moving from philly, i have found that keeping beer cool is the toughest part of fermentation. Cold crashing is almost impossible! So i need glycol. Let me know if you have a line on a glycol solution. Thanks!

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'm am starting on my build for my next project a glycol chiller controlled by craftbeerpi! Just finished my brew controller build this one should be easier. I'll be using a portable everstar a.c. Unit @ 11000 btu (a little bigger than I wanted I was hoping to stay under 10 amps this is 12 amps...

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...

Knocked this out yesterday afternoon in a couple hours. Took no time at all and bypassing the temp sensor was super easy because its a mechanical switch unit and not electronic, so no need for having to trick the sensor with a heat lamp or anything like that.

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...

Hi, We have a home brew setup and want to improve the fermenter. We currently brew about 22 gallons, but hope to increase that to about 35gal soon. Or we will make two worts and transfer both to one fermenter. My goal is to build an ultimate fermenter. I’m looking for designs I...

I'm starting a new thread in DIY because I have progress and pictures now... Original discussion thread is here. Just a quick overview of my bar and towers... My keezer is a Kenmore 8.8cf with a 2x4 collar. It lives under the bar, about 3' left of where my tap towers are going. I have to be...
