Does anyone have experience using the SS Brewtech Chronical and FTSs coil extensions?
https://www.ssbrewtech.com/products...-extensions-7-gal?_pos=6&_sid=64e431407&_ss=r
I’m fermenting in the garage, using the FTSs and an ice chest. I’ve got the temp probe in the thermowell on the side of the Chronical. The Chronical is 7 gallons, and I usually end up with 4.5 gallons of beer after my boil... I do leave some proteins behind in the kettle. I don’t think the FTSs coils are fully submerged, and the ice cold water doesn’t seem to be dropping my ferm temp below 69. With absolutely ice cold water in the cooler, ferm temp is still at 72 right now. So, I’m curious about the extensions. But will they put the coils too close to my thermowell? If so, I’m thinking false readings will occur.
Any advice or experience is appreciated.
