Any reason these freezer coils wouldn’t be suitable for a diy glycol chiller?

Same idea of trying to consolidate them and submerge in a glycol reservoir.

The amount of bending required to make it work is impractical because you'll probably end up kinking and releasing the gas.

put your glycol bucket in the freezer, and run the lines out some how?

Two sets of coils that shouldn't be moved, so maybe two glycol reservoirs?

I kind of thought as much. The freezer was free and I was hoping to use it as a fermentation chamber. Only to realize the coils couldn’t be easily moved. Thought maybe I could turn lemons into lemonade and use the coils for a glycol chiller instead. Seems like I’ll pass on it

no there has to be some use for a free freezer, with temp controller, fridge.....i got four of them....get use out of all of them!

yeast bank? bulk hops?

It's possible to bend those shelves against the back wall. I've done it.
