I’ve been looking at the IceMaster 4 for my garage. The ambient temperature can reach 35 degrees Celsius. I was wondering what ambient temperatures you have been able to cold crash successfully in? What ambient temperature are you usually running the glycol chiller?
Really appreciate this video, I hope the elbow wasn't the result of a tasting day video... actually, that may be funny. I was surprised to see how little they can chill, I was expecting for that price point to cover at least a few 100L vessels. The Kegland site says 4 x 60L "well insulated all rounders" with the temp twists... that's not a bad volume of beer. It's good to see that they are simple to run, I expected more like using a microwave without being able to just hit the start button over and over. How long have you been running yours?
Yeah they’re great little units! As we said they have no issues controlling temp of quite a few big tanks, but struggle if you’re trying to cold crash more than 1 200L tank at a time! All depends on the horsepower of the unit. We’ve had ours for a few years now, and can honestly say aside from SS tanks it’s absolutely the best toy upgrade we’ve made
Thanks for breaking the glycol subject down! 🍻🍺
No dramas dude! It all looks complicated at first but once u start using it you realise how basic the concept actually is!
What is the quick connect that you have on the chiller lines? Where can I get them?
Right here from keg king mate

What are those quick connects you use for the glycol lines?
We actually got them from an auto parts store! I’ll try and track down where I bought them from and post a link in here
@flyingwombattv thanks mate. Whenever I find them online in home brew stores they are sold out.
This isn’t the exact same as the ones I bought but will do the same job

Ditto mate we are in syd so in the peak of summer it can reach above 40dc, and have still been able to cold crash our half bbl without a hitch
@@flyingwombattv Thank you.

And no the elbow was a result of me believing I was a more skilled skateboarder than I actually am hahaha!!
@@flyingwombattv hahaha, good work, I don't trust anything that has no breaks, skateboards, surfboards, horses etc
