Penguin glycol chiller and accessories pack set up and demonstration

[@johnfelps2573]

Very helpful! Manual was a bit terse and this answered my questions, thank you!

[@BeernuT100]

Thank you for sharing your process / reviews.

[@ReactionBrewingCompany]

No problem, thanks for watching! I'll have more to come on the chiller!

[@thalladay]

How many bbls total are you cooling? And are you cold crashing or just maintaining?

[@ReactionBrewingCompany]

I've held 3bbls total at crashing temps for months straight when I was too busy to drink or can, never had any issues. Crash one at a time and it's not a problem. I only have one pump feeding all the fermenters so it's a little different than your standard setup and I still have no issues crashing and maintaining 35* across all unitanks.

any recommendations when using penguin GC, Im getting the XL I would like to know if you have any issues or thoughts ?

[@ReactionBrewingCompany]

So far so good, switched over to the XL pump and it dropped all 4 fermenters 3-4* across the board.

[@guybucey9503]

Do you thinks its possible to fit 4 of the pumps into the Chiller? I have the 1/2 hp also and It doesn't seem possible.

[@ReactionBrewingCompany]

I think so. I have 1 XL and 2 regular pumps in mine right now.

Reaction Brewing much appreciated, thank you for all your videos and the time you put into them. They’re an incredible help for the rest of us!

[@ReactionBrewingCompany]

@@mixedbreedbrewing9514 I enjoy making them. Need to get back to it soon! Thanks for watching

[@rayquazapwn88]

Are you using solenoid valves to individually control temps to your different fermenters? How do you have those set up?

[@ReactionBrewingCompany]

I have a single pump that feeds a first in last out manifold with a solenoid valve for each fermenter. It's all controlled through my panel from Ebrew supply.

[@trevorthomas678]

Does the penguin chill separate vessels at separate temps?

[@ReactionBrewingCompany]

Yes, it has ports in the lid to cool up to 4 vessels. You will need an inkbird or something like an inkbird and a pump for each vessel. You would plug the pump into the "cool" on the inkbird.

How did you control your pumps from your ebrew supply panel?

[@ReactionBrewingCompany]

My brew pumps are controlled by the panel. The glycol pump runs 24/7. There is a recycle on my hard piping so it's never dead headed.
