Glycol chiller and multiple jacketed fermentors

[Belgrave Brewer]

Is anyone using a glycol chiller to cool multiple jacketed fermentors?

I've been eyeing the Keg King Icemaster G40 which has 4 glycol outputs/returns so could potentially work with up to 4 jacketed fermentors, each with their own pump and temp controller.

Would love to hear if anyone has experience with a similar setup.

Cheers,

Haven't used one.
But I would just use 1 pump and control the flow to each fermenter with a solenoid valve.

Yeah, discussed that option with another brewing mate. Heading down to Keg King early in the week to see how they are using on site. Cheers.

Ok, Slowly getting my head around all this and the options available. Looks like a water chiller will suit my needs. Will post my setup once completed.

Belgrave Brewer, what did you end up doing?

I'm thinking of removing the impala on the keg king g40, and possibly the 4 product lines, and putting my submersibles in the space from the pump, put the pump hosing through the cavities from the beer lines, and fudge a polystyrene lid to cover the hole from the impala.

Or alternatively use the glycol font lines to go into a Esky, and pump back into the g40, and put the submersibles into the esky.
