Hi HBT,
My DIY glycol chiller, made from a window AC unit, has formed rust after two years. The AC unit was very old and used when I first built the chiller, and unfortunately I forgot to spray Rustoleum on it. Should I build a new one before my pump dies?
The reservoir is a 14 gallon cooler, which costs me about $200 in glycol (with a 60/40 mix). I’m reluctant to drop another $200 to have it rust again. Should I look into a Penguin chiller that doesn’t rust and costs much less in glycol for my 5 gal batches?
Thanks, Jon
