Hello, nice video, thank you! One question: what do you do with the glycol inside the wall? Do you pump it out before cleaning or do you use some plugs and keep it inside?

[@breakawaybrewery]

I don't use a glycol chiller. I use my cooling coil for both my CFC and my Fermenter (see my other videos). The QDs on the Fermenter trap the water (or glycol) inside the cooling sleeve of the fermenter. When I reconnect the water lines to the QDs, I always run water through the whole system to purge any air bubbles and then adjust the 3 way valve to make a closed-loop system. Cheers!

You do realise that starsan is a sanitiser and not a cleaning solution? Pbw is for cleaning, starsan is for sanitising
