Emergency Conical glycol chiller

[kegtoe]

Today I brewed 10 gallons for the first time. Usually I've just done 5 gal Extract and AG batches. I had 2 extract kits laying around that I wanted to use up. I also have a Brewhemoth that I won last year at the AHA in Michigan. Today was the first day to out that bad boy to use.

Once I filled the brewhemoth, I knew there was no way to get this to the basement (where I usually do my fermenting). I looked around my garage and had all the parts necessary to make a glycol chiller.

It is a miniature brewhemoth?

All the parts, except the Glycol, witch I had to get at Menards ~$16. I had an extra a419 Johnson controller. The pond pump is brand new, just bought of Amazon to replace the one from my Mark's Keg Washer that just bit the dust. Only used to back flush my keezer beer lines.

Nicely done! I didn't know they had a mini version. Pretty cool. I like my brewhemoth. The coil works great for me. I built a glycol chiller out of an account unit and keep my glycol at 25°. Works great.

Cheers to getting the project done!

This looks awesome. I especially like that fermentor.

what are you using to chill your glycol? what did you use to bulkhead mount your coil to the lid?

It came with the fermenter, just a tri clamp fitting with gasket.

Added some propylene glycol. Measured the level, will recheck in a few days, make sure none is getting in the beer. It should be ok as there is no fittings on the inside.

Into the chiller...

Redbull and beer; together at last!
