I drained all the glycol yesterday because it went yellow and stank.
When it was working it was like a hard slushy.
It only has water now but it still won't chill water
When it worked, I had it set to minus 8 and it kept the tank at 3 degree. Once the unitank level dropped and I had dumped all the yeast, I let the unitank raise to ambient and ran the beer through the beerlines, I ran through 2 of the tap coils and the beer froze so I raised the temp and the...
Please read, I disconnected the fermenter and ran through a hermit coil.
The way I had it set up worked fine and could crash the unitank to 0⁰ easily. Now it doesn't.
******* hoop after hoop, your unit is fucked and you won't replace it, get fucked I'll suck up the $700 and buy a SS Brewtech...
I have done all these things! I ran through an external coil and the temp is 1⁰ higher than the tank. Whilst on the phone to Henry at your shop.
It takes 4 days to get to minus 10 without a load.
THE UNIT IS SET TO MINUS 25⁰.
I am running it straight from the inlet and outlet, the hoses are insulated and run under the neoprene jacket. Last time I used it my lines to the fermenter Iced up like a flooded font. Now there isn't even condensation. I only got it in October, which was probably hotter than current temps...
Kegland website you can chill a fermenter up to 400L without a jacket?
It worked perfectly fine, even iced up lines and under the neoprene jacket.
The thing has been set to minus 25⁰ the whole time.
When I ran it through a coil instead of the fermenter, unit was set to minus 25, tank was at...
1 hour later and the G40 is back at 22⁰ and it has brought the unitank back down to 22.8⁰ after raising 4⁰ overnight (peak yeast activity)
Luckily it's fermenting under pressure so I should prevent the horrible esters from fermenting too high.
After 14 hours of the recirc being off, it has dropped from 22⁰ down to 2⁰.
When I put a sandwich clippy bag at the front of the unit, the suction holds it on the grill. When I hold the same bag at the back of the unit grill it will blow the bag at an angle of 45-60⁰.
No dust, I only crash chill so I can trub dump and biofine for a couple of days then transfer to kegs.
As by the pics from when it was working the lines Iced up and I was able to keep the unitank at 0.4⁰ when the G40 was at -7
