Overkill?
« on: August 06, 2013, 09:10:07 am »
I'm such a show off but I thought you guys would appreciate this. Hooked up a loop on my glycol chiller into my 1" port "pre-chiller" for my heat exchanger and dropped the temp of a 10 gallon batch down to 50 degrees in about 25 minutes.

You can see pre-chiller in upper left corner with glycol loop.

 

Note condensation on kettle!

My favorite is using a chainsaw to cut your butter.

He must be running a NANO size rig. Major large conical!

We have 4 - 20 bbl FVs and 2 - 30 bbls. I don't fill them with my old homebrew kettle! ;)

Wow I guess well beyond nano! Very nice.
I checked out the site - love the variety of brews on tap.
If I'm ever down your way, I'll make sure to check it out.
