2000L Glycol water tank and chiller for cooling fermenters

If you want to have reliable temperature control over your fermentation and storage temperatures, we recommend looking into a complete glycol system for your beer. A properly set-up/sized glycol system will allow you to independently control your fermentation vessels, storage tanks.

When will you need the glycol system?

 1. Wort production:

Going through the plate heat exchanger could be one of your glycol loops or a line from a cold liquor tank that is chilled via your glycol chiller.

 

2. Fermentation:

During this step, yeast will begin to consume sugars and release heat as a result.

Glycol system will let you have better control of internal temperatures and fermentation as a whole, and giving you more quality control over your beer.

Glycol & water proportion

To save on costs, you’ll want to make sure that you use a proper mix of glycol and water when setting up your cooling system.

 

Too much glycol will leave you with a freezing point far below what’s necessary while wasting funds on refrigerant.

Too little, and you risk the entire system freezing, leaving the fermentation process to proceed unchecked!

Generally, depending on the total effective volume of tank, we recommend the propotion of glycol and water is 1:3, which can ensure the lowest temperature going to -20 degree without freezing.
