So my buddy was given one of these glycol chillers for some carpentry he did. He doesn't have a need for it so he is giving it to me.

It is an older version with an analog temp controller instead of the new digital one.
So Now What??
I know the obvious function is to use it to cool the lines in a draft setup with the kegs in another room. (i.e. the basement) I already have a bobbyM style kegerator that I am very happy with.
Another thing I see people do is use it to control fermentation temperatures with wrapped coils or a jacket. I already have a chest freezer that I fit 2 sanke's in for fermentation.
Are there any brewing procedures that this could be implemented into? (wort chilling?) Any ideas on improving fermentation control? Maybe this would be more accurate/faster cooling than the chest freezer control?
