Poor insulation and poor coil/keg contact made it ineffective. More to come for sure!
It would...if I always planned on filling it to max capacity (18 gallons). With the coil mounted low, it'll be effective for a 10 gallon batch.
...and the temp is down another two degrees to 48!
I'm about to go to bed, so I'm going to turn the chiller off for now. After about 5 hours, it managed 46° F, which is 26° F below ambient.
Yuri,
Did you make the conical portion or order it? If you ordered it where from and if you made it can you share how you bent the metal? Also, is that stainless or aluminum? I'm trying to find out if it's possible to weld stainless to aluminum.
Thanks,
Jaemie
