    Pump recommendation for glycol chiller

    My pump looks identical to that one. I did a test run and was impressed with the output but it was with ice water not glycol. Time will tell. Keep in mind the one from Amazon doesn’t come with a wall plug so you need to buy an adapter. Still cheaper but something to consider

    Pump recommendation for glycol chiller

    alright I’m committed now. Hoping 20 feet of 3/8 OD is sufficient. Seems like it should be. 50 Ft was more per foot than 20 was for whatever reason. I will attach compression fittings on the end of the coper along with barbs then run lines to my glycol chiller. I will fill the bucket with water...

    Pump recommendation for glycol chiller

    So I read a post about vinyl being very poor at heat transfer so I’m considering buying this bucket from tractor supply. This bucket is only a few inches bigger than my torpedo keg in diameter and height so it should be a good fit. I will then run a length of copper tubing between the wall of...

    Pump recommendation for glycol chiller

    Copper just seems like it would be more difficult to work with. I don’t think I could get it as tight as I can with the vinyl either. With two people I can get the vinyl on very tight. Just trying to figure out a suitable way to make it stay tight. The vinyl can also easily be removed every few...

    Pump recommendation for glycol chiller

    i was able to get the keg very cold using this set up. This is 20 ft of vinyl. I’ll probably use maybe 50 ft once I get running. Only thing now is trying to find a better clamp solution to make sure the vinyl stays tight against the keg. What I have on there now is not ideal am I’m sure would...

    Pump recommendation for glycol chiller

    I purchased that blue PVC discharge hose today and this stuff is not really ideal. Feels cheap and like it won’t last. I couldn’t get a tight clamp with the 1.5” barb I tried to use and when I took the clamp off the blue hose was torn in several places. Is there any reason I can’t just simply...

    Pump recommendation for glycol chiller

    I ended up going with this. It appears to be the same pump/ same specs as the penguin. Hopefully this is sufficient. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08NK6VSKT?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image

    Pump recommendation for glycol chiller

    I see the pump penguin chillers offers is 16’ head which is significantly higher than the pond pumps I’ve been looking at. Does anyone know if penguin is the manufacturer or if they’re made specifically for penguin? If no, available unbranded?

    Pump recommendation for glycol chiller

    Hey guys, I just purchased a glycol chiller. The ice master 100. I am looking for recommendations for a pump to use now. I believe the barbs on the ice master are 3/8”. I am fermenting in a 15 gallon torpedo keg and plan to use the 1.5” ID blue discharge hose wrapped around the outside for...

    Kettle size thoughts for eBIAB?

    I have done a 10 gallon batch in my 15 gallon spike kettle without a problem. I deleted the recipe as it wasn’t something I wanted to reproduce but it was between the 5-6% ABV range. Your limited on the grain bill size unless you incorporated some type of sparge step, which can be extremely...

    How crazy is homebrew for our wedding (experienced mead/wine/cider)

    You should definitely start making beer. I vote for buying commercial beer for the wedding though. At least go into it with that thought and see where it goes. I’ve been making beer for a few years now. I prefer my beer over most breweries that I’ve been too. That said, I’m getting married in...

    Glycol chiller on 15 gallon keg

    Hey guys, I switched to fermenting 10 gallon batches in a 15 gallon torpedo keg. What I have been doing is chilling as low as I can post boil, transferring to keg, then with the help of my fiancé, lifting the keg up, and into my kegerator. This is not ideal. I am considering buying a glycol...

    Dreaming about brewing.

    I had a dream the other day where I had a fermenter full of beer that had mold all over it. Was very relieved to have woken up and realized that was a dream 😅

    advice for hops in Ohio

    I live in northeast OH and I planted Chinook, Cascade, Styrian golding, and hallertau. Chinook and cascade grew like crazy. The other 2 not so much. Going into my second year.
