Best Glycol Lines

[@ShortCircuitedBrewers]

Those connections are the way to go!! You definitely don't want your hose squirting everywhere... not good! Cheers Bradley!!

You’re damn right my friend 🤪

I have a similar setup, but I do prefer alternating male/female, so I can loop the sections back on themselves. This makes cleaning the chilling coil much easier, as I don't have to worry about spilling any glycol in the coil during cleaning, as I generally invert it. Plus, in the case of accidentally hooking up the wrong chiller pump (haven't done it, yet), it would only recirculate back to the chiller.

Good idea man 🍻

[@OldNorsebrewery]

I have been looking at glycol chilling solution for a while

[@PortlyGentleman]

Which solution are you leaning towards ?

[@tennett91]

I thought I noticed a few questionable innuendos in some of your videos, but was never positive because of the straight face. But now I'm sure of it. I feel like I need to go and find the others now. That's funny.

[@HOMEBREW4LIFE]

crazy i missed this, solid advice!

[@PortlyGentleman]

Hahah all good CH You can’t be everywhere ... thank you 🍻

I too get a certain satisfaction from crimping an Oetiker clamp. ;) I'm interested to see how much condensation you get in the warmer, more humid months. Spike's stock insulated hoses sweat like a cheater in church, and I ended up making my own with double layers of pipe insulation from Home Depot. It works, but the huge hoses are a pain in the ass.

[@PortlyGentleman]

Previously I had DIY my own hoses the same way you did. These hoses have a much snug fit inside of the insulation I’m thinking this might help with condensation. There’s always going to be some let’s hope it’s not out of hand. If it’s really bad I will update the video.

Ah, a fellow man of culture.

[@dlihcerog]

Do you plan on insulating the connections to reduce cold loss and condensation? Since I work on building sites I am fortunate enough to pick up leftovers of armaflex (polyurethane pipe insulation) it comes in sheets you cut and glue to get the fit you want. Loved those connectors.

Bradley, can you give me the details of the quick disconnects please, i will try and see if we can get them in the uk. ignore my pm on this subject

[@PortlyGentleman]

I believe there is a link to them in the videos description. I think theMaltMiller might have them.

[@duncanbayne3078]

Thanks Bradley, is there a disadvantage to compressing the insulation so that you have insulation to expand back over the joins and stainless pipe? It would improve your efficiency a bit.

[@brewerpete3575]

on the dual line is there any insulation between the feed and return lines? It would be minimal but i would think having the return in the same insulation tubing would cause a temp rise in the glycol before it gets to the coil. I now its probably not something that would be an issue, just curious.

[@atomictyler]

That's what that tool does..I haven't been able to figure out what the heck that crimping tool was for. edit: brewtools unitank, WOOHOOO!!

[@PortlyGentleman]

You could also use a set of pliers to crimp 🍻

[@Lannidesign]

Interesting video 👍🍺🍺

[@PortlyGentleman]

Thank you

[@Beerjunkieguy]

You're a funny man!

[@PortlyGentleman]

Hopefully you were entertained if nothing else 🍻

[@DrunkDelilahBrewery]

You got 2 BT's mate?

[@PortlyGentleman]

Yes so when you come to the states we can be together guys are size got to stick together 🍻🍻

[@ShortCircuitedBrewers]

I donated mine to his channel.... lol JK... It is the one I had..
