The Ole' Window AC - Glycol Chiller Build https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/index.php?threads/The-Ole%27-Window-AC---Glycol-Chiller-Build.650039/

I have a 1/2bbl SS brewtech unitank and it’s amazing. I had the SS Chronical fermenter and they are very nice too but the unitank holds pressure and is just a very impressive design. The unitank will be more expensive but trust me it’s well worthy every penny. Friend of mine who I brew with has...

That’s awesome. What I mean by helping your yeast as much as possible is accurately controlling the fermentation temp. Pitching yeast in and letting the temp free rise and fall always works but you’re basically at the mercy of the ambient temps and hope the yeast won’t get too hot (or cold) in...

COLD SIDE UPGRADES! I went nuts building out all of my hot side components. They make the process smoother, easier, sexier and more efficient. But other than water profile management I believe that your cold side abilities drastically improve and change the quality of your end product. How...

So it will easily cold crash your tank? What size is your tank?

What do you think of that icemaster 100? I’m very close to pulling the trigger. I’ll be using it with a 1/2bbl unitank.

Love the build. Looks super sleek. Have you used this to simultaneously cold crash both Chronicals? Deciding between building this or ponying up and purchasing a legit one.

You can see my build earlier in the thread as well. I can get mine to stabilize a full 14 gallon unitank at 42 degrees. I keep the glycol mix at 9 degrees. You can’t just drop the temp from 68 (fermentation temp) down to 42 immediately with these builds though. You need to slowly drop the...

Probably 20 or so short. 50-60 seems like the magic number. We are at 32.

11110 + 30gal Black IPA = 11,140

10868 + 12 coconut porter = 10880

Hi Morrey, I also have a 1/2bbl SS unitank. Been looking into fermenting under pressure. The advantage im most interested in is the self carbonation aspect. So do you just set your spunding valve at serving pressure (per a carbonation chart depending on your temp) and ferment under pressure...

10073 + 12 gallons NEIPA 10085

9160 + 10 Belgian golden strong= 9170

8405 + 10 gal NEIPA = 8415

Love the design. You did copper coming off of each tap then just attached whatever vinyl beer tubing to the ends of those? Sounds interesting. Mine is air cooled and I don’t have any issue with foam. I did 2 fan boxes though. One blows air up into the piping and another pulls it out of the...

The fittings work great. Just wanted to let you know be prepared to use a **** load of elbow grease tightening them down. I have some pretty big wrenches and even with those I had to use all my strength to tighten them down to water tight. They should be machine tightened to be honest. Good...

Did these 15mm compression fittings work on the kegco chiller?? I’ve read conflicting info. Mine are on the way. Just curious if you have any advice

Did you get the 15mm compression fittings from adventures in homebrewing? If so did it come with nylon or stainless ferrules? Thanks, Sam

8072 + 10 gal Neipa + 10 gal mex lager = 8092
