There's so many ways to do things that the more i think and research, the more i get unsure of what to do xD Today it just came to me that maybe it would be nice to have a way of heating the vessels too, so maybe i'll be adding a double loop, and not use glycol, just water to have that...

Do you sell your chillers in Europe? That 1/2HP seem exacly what i need for 2x200L vesels.

Also, i'm really thinking of getting two smaller chillers like the AS-110 and use 1 to 1... that way i could could crash only 1 vessel without messing with the temperatures of the other by having the gycol too cold, and i will avoid all the "plumbing" xD

thanks for the input limulus, but the way i thought of doing, i think i don't need a pressure gauge/reducer... I'm thinking of adding a larger reservoir that would be kept cold by a coil connected to the chiller, and either: 1 - immersion pumps onnected to the fermentors making 2 seperate loops...

Yes, i think this setup would be enough, for 2 - 200L fermentors, and cold crashing around 12h is fine. Thanks for the feedback Dcpcooks, it really helped.

Well only got this table from the manual. it's been kind of hard to find good powerfull chillers under 1500€ in europe. (i found a cooler/heater for 1300€ish but is has less wattage than this one... (1.2kw cooling power and 2kw heating power - 5/8 hp)

Wow, thanks... The unit is rated at 1380 Watt, so maintaining at 18ºC won't be a problem, cold crashing thought... From the calculation, if i cold crash only 1 fermenter, i could do it in about 6h, but 2 our 3, would be kind of hard to do right? Kind of thinking now, on getting 2 cooling...

Nice, thanks for the input, allways good to have some approval before spending the money :D i'll problay be using only 2 fermenters at a time till end of January, so i think it will handle the job. Do you now any quick formula to know how many BTU i need/i have with this cooling machine...

Nice, i don't really now how many BTU's, but i will probably be running only 2 fermenter till January, so i think it should handle the job, if more power is needed i'll buy another unit in 3-4 months to handle more than 2 fermenters. Do you know from the top of your head any formula to...

Hey guys, i'm starting a nano brewery in Portugal and after reading this thread i came up with something for cooling my 3 - 2BBL fermenters (Ales only, between 18-22ºC), and maybe could crashing too. Just wanting to hear some feedback from you guys about it, here i post the layout i'm thinking...
