1/3 HP Glycol Bath Chiller — 2200 BTU/hr @ 28°F ❄️
Fermentation temperature control + crash cooling for up to 4 fermenters
Proudly Built in the USA • Built-in Controller • 1-Year Warranty
If you want colder temps and tighter fermentation control than a standard water chiller can provide, this is the upgrade. Our glycol chiller is designed to maintain a cold glycol reservoir (set it, forget it), then deliver chilled glycol to your fermenters via submersible pumps—ideal for brewing and other low-temperature applications.
What it does (simple) ✅
-
The built-in controller maintains your glycol reservoir at a setpoint (example: 28°F)
-
Use one submersible pump per fermenter (recommended)
-
Each pump is typically controlled by its own pump controller, so you can run different temps on different fermenters at the same time
Why brewers choose this chiller 🍻
Lower operating temps than water chillers
Suitable for applications down to about 5°F (depending on heat load), making it great for fermentation control and cold-side applications.
Run up to 4 fermenters
The reservoir lid includes 4 inlets + 4 outlets (3/8" barbed fittings), plus an additional pass-through hole for pump power cords.
(Note: product photo showing only 2 in/out barbs needs updating.)
Insulated glycol reservoir
Holds 5 quarts of glycol, helping the system stay cold and stable.
Glycol mix recommendations 🧪
You can use different water/glycol ratios depending on your target temperature and freeze protection. For brewing, it’s common to use 33–50% glycol.
-
We recommend 50/50 for simplicity and extra freeze-protection buffer.
-
In testing down to -14°F, a 50/50 mix performed without freezing issues.
Important brewing note ⚠️
This chiller is designed for maintaining fermentation temps and crash cooling.
It is not intended to chill wort directly from boiling temps.
Common practice:
-
Use tap water first to drop wort to ~100°F, then switch to glycol, or
-
Use a two-stage system (chiller pre-cools water that then cools wort)

Pro-level control without the fuss ✅
Set the glycol reservoir temp on the chiller, then let each fermenter controller manage its own pump. That’s how you get independent fermentation temperatures across multiple vessels—clean, scalable, and repeatable.
