ok got it mostly hooked up... however for whatever reason the compressor is not running? it was when i tested it... but not now...is there a way to test to see if its getting power? there are 3 wires... Red Black Blue... also when BCS shuts off... the AC wont come back on when told to, i have...

you did a pretty good job of unbending that AC line, mine had a big U in it i couldnt get the U part flattened out... didnt want to risk breaking it...

I got the rest of the stuff, the other probe and thermowell... after couple weeks... BO was stamped on it, my issue is that 4 emails and not a single reply telling me next week month or year or ever! soo broke down and called... seems they are out of the 4 in, for several weeks.. but they had...

I will be doing appx 11 gal in the fermentor... hoping I can get it to 50... when i did a test run i got at 33 before i stopped , just in the chiller tank itself, so it should be cold enough. I guess it also depends on where it is... mine is in basement which itself is 70 degrees year round...

In my case I just used the 5k BTU unit I had lying around... im still building however as Brewers Hardware has STILL not sent the temp probe...

I got it pretty much bent where i need it now. I am just waiting on the temp probes from Brewers Hardware to connect to my 460... taking forever!! what do you guys recommend to use for hoses? vinyl? Silicone? thought about using PEX tubing and insulate it... I was reading up on the E Brewery...

I have started to use the foam drops in my starters, i have had a few that did that for whatever reason, now its much more controlled and i dont worry about making a mess anymore...

I got a blichmann 14 gal , bought it used for 350... dont regret it. I see they have come out with a SS cooling coil for it, so just bought that... cleaning isnt that bad, comes apart pretty easily...

i bought it used and paid 350 for it which i though was a good deal... and its nice and all... but i see they came out with a SS coil that will go inside it... not sure what other kind of conical i would get though... hard to justify that much money for more than one...esp when i already have a...

I only have the one conical now, so i will just use the BCS to control an Aq pump to pump to the conical.... i might pick up one later on, but they are a bit pricey...

Ok thats good info, i am in Georgia, but downstairs is AC'd... so humidity isnt a problem but thanks for that info... is 23 too cold? for the conical? its 14 gal conical so maybe not... what kind of pump are you using to circulate with? I wouldnt think you would want too high a flow rate...

So what is the ideal temp to keep the chiller water at? freezing might be too cold... but im not sure... was thinking low 30s.

Not ideal but just testing...pulled it right down to 36 before I stopped...4 gal plain water..

Ok I just meant the evap coil...not the whole unit... Just rough test now...

Just took apart the AC...that was easy... now bending the tubing without creating a paper weight... any tips? go very slowly and carefully... yeah.. what about orientation? does it have to sit the same way basically for it to work properly? i have seen some tilted down or sideways... just...
