Anyone have experience with Morebeer glycol chiller

Did you call them or emailed them?

Here’s the update:

Morebeer was awesome with the replacement. Shipped it out fedex very fast. New unit put together and all is good.
BUT....
I got to brew 2 batches on it and the “S” button on the STC-1000 broke. so I couldn’t change the temp of the glycol. I troubleshot it for a couple days with no luck. In the end I bought an ITC-1000F off amazon And wired that in myself (shhhhhh) it works great, nice to have it in Fahrenheit and was fairly easy to gain access to it.

So I guess fingers crossed that the compressor/freon level holds up with this one...

??? I am totally confused. Don't all ten of those hose barbs lead to the glycol reservoir?

You have the SS bulkhead barbs to attach the lines coming from the pumps and lines going to the cooling coil. I guess I don't understand your question.

The only issue I see is that if you will be using this for multiple fermenters (and their associated glycol tubing and pump power lines), then you will need to develop a solution for getting those lines into the glycol reservoir. There is only room to get one set of lines into the tank. This can be done either by cutting holes or a notch into the reservoir's top cover, or by opening one of the top panels to allow access (with a little loss in insulation efficiency). Not a deal breaker by any means, but it's odd that a chiller which is designed to support up to 5 fermenters doesn't have the means to run the corresponding lines into the reservoir!

My question actually pertained to this.... I dont understand why there is a need to cut holes. The item has a bulkhead with 10 barbs that go through to the reservoir. See the post above this, he states it as well.

He is talking about the reservoir's top cover and the small hole in the corner to run a line from the SS bulkhead to the actual reservoir below it. It is way too small for multiple lines. Maybe the pictures on this thread will help you visualize the issue and also see my solution...
