More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

The NEW Spike Glycol Chiller makes stabilizing and cooling your fermenter temperatures a breeze. We included must-have features like an integrated glycol drain port, quick connecting fittings for glycol lines, splash proof lid, locking casters and even a glycol sight glass to check glycol volumes.

It was also designed to be super user friendly. Want to increase your temperature? Press the up button. No more complicated parameters to setup; we’ve already done that hard work for you. The unit has a small footprint, moves around your brewery easily thanks to the included casters and can chill up to four fermenters!

This beast has a large reservoir which provides plenty of cooling power and with quick connect glycol lines, it’s easy to add all those fermenters with just a push of the tube.

CHILLING CAPACITY

Cold Crashing/Lagering Temps: Up to 60 gallons of total beer spread across up to 4 fermenters
