SteelB Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 I'm able to hook into a chiller @40 deg. Any idea who might make one commercially? I really dont have the time to fab one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southernhighlander Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 SteelB. Is your pot open to or closed top with a manway? If it has a manway, what is the size of the opening? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelB Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 close top i can do 14 inches straight down in. the hole itself is bigger but its angled on the side so if i followed the angle i would hit the propeller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southernhighlander Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 SteelB, How far in can a 12" diameter coil go below the top of the mash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southernhighlander Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I think that your best option is a stand alone tube in tube heat exchanger, or one of my mash tuns with the internal cooling coil.

MG Thermal Consulting Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 See the photo to the left, an example of a closed loop glycol hybrid cooler which needs city water in summer to augment cooling . This one is similar to a project just finished that I'll have photos from a 1,000 Gal setup of next week. If I have your zip code and how many hours to want it cooled by, I can get one on about 4 weeks for you that would pump right in through a heat exchanger and back until reaching the set point desired. Large reservoir not needed Add a water to glycol heat exchanger and you can make cold water during winter and off seasons for the still cooling.
