Description
Controlling the temperature that beer ferments at is the difference between good and excellent beer. This can be as basic as converting a fridge. However, the gold standard is a glycol chiller as it is far more flexible. This version from Ss Brewtech will allow up to three different vessels to be chilled at any one time, all of which can be programmed to be running at different temperatures. This allows ultimate control.
Think of a glycol chiller of a bath of glycol that can be stored at below 0 Celsius. A submersible pump can then be placed within the glycol solution that can pump the glycol round a coil within a fermenter or unitank
Introducing the Ss Brewtech Glycol Chiller | 1/5 HP, which will maintain lager temps and enable crash cooling for up to 3 vessels even in relatively high ambient temperatures. We designed the chiller to integrate seamlessly with our FTSs kits to provide a complete temperature control system.
This is the latest model with detachable power cord, we will ship with the correct power cord for your country.
Since each FTSs kit includes its own dedicated temperature controller, pump, and tubing, each vessel can be connected to the glycol chiller with its own independent loop. The parallel design of this set up offers the ability to ferment at ale temps in one vessel, and maintain precise serve or crash cooling temps in another vessel. The Glycol Chiller can also be paired with our line of Ss Brite Tanks to hold beer at serving temperatures. This system offers both flexibility and expandability for your home brewery.
6 litres of glycol is required

Liam Burford –
I am pleased to say that this really is a case of ‘you get what you pay for’. So very pleased that The Malt Miller stock this smaller version, which is still fit for 3 simultaneous 7 gallon fermenters- perfect for serious home brewers. This is a seriously decent piece of kit which provides a bath of chilled glycol (purchase separately with distilled water) for up to 3 FTSS2 heating and cooling systems. In the summer it got from 30 degrees C to -2 degrees C in about an hour. So far I’ve run 2 simultaneous FTSS pumps for warmer ale (20C) and cooler lager (10C) fermentations. Effortless. Crash cooling? No problem, although one fermenter at a time, otherwise it does start to struggle. Temperature control is a must. This kit with the FTSS2 system (purchase separately) manages temerature to the nearest 0.5 degrees and happy yeast means happy beer.
