    Glycol reservoir in a walk-in cooler?

    I'm finally building my home brewery properly. Part of this will be a small walk-in cooler powered by a Coolbot wall AC. My unitanks will be along the wall outside of the cooler. Is it reasonable to think I can keep a couple of buckets with glycol and pumps inside the cooler and pass the...

    Micro Matic Glycol Chiller MMPP4302

    I was wondering if there were any glycol chiller experts lurking. (or HVAC) I picked up a Micro Matic MMPP4302 off FB marketplace for a very good deal, because it had an issue. The unit was reported to be leaking from a fitting. I am a handy person... and I brazed the line and fixed the leak...

    Glycol Temps, whats yours?

    I'm curious if there are any downsides to keeping glycol temps in higher than normal ranges like 55°F. I am thinking about this for a few reasons but one of them is when I am not fermenting beer there isn't really a need to have the temps down at 28 °F. My concern is if higher temps would assist...

    Glycol chiller repair

    My SS Brewtech glycol chiller has lost most of its capacity to cool. It gets the glycol reservoir down to target temperature eventually, but it can’t keep up with even a single 5-gallon batch if I want to go lower than 65°F. Cooling more than one batch, lager fermentations, and cold crashing are...

    Using portable beverage chiller as glycol chiller

    I have found a used remote cooler that is used for chilling up to 4 beer lines at events for a great price. It is more of a glorified jockey box in that it will chill 4 beer lines, but is not intended to pump glycol to an external fermenter. There is a pump to circulate the water/glycol bath...
