Don't leave your fermentation to chance. Leave it to the Grainfather.
Temperature control is one of the most crucial elements for producing a good quality beer. It needs to be regulated and stable throughout the whole fermentation process to ensure the yeast doesn't get stressed and ferments correctly to get the right flavour profile.
With the ability to individually power and control the temperature of up to four Grainfather Conical Fermenters, each with their own fermenting schedules, the Grainfather Glycol Chiller is the perfect addition to ensure superior fermenting results.
Designed for today's brewers
Sporting a sleek and compact design, that still accommodates a full array of features, the Glycol Chiller maintains the Grainfather’s principle of providing quality home brewing equipment, that deliver’s craft brewery like results, all contained within a small footprint for optimisation of space.
The addition of the Glycol Chiller to your Grainfather brewery allows for complete control over your fermentation. Cold crash and lager down to 4-6ºC (39-43°F) and be confident with every brew before it hits the keg.
Grainfather fermentation – a match made in brewing heaven
The Glycol Chiller connects to a hidden cooling sleeve, located in between the two stainless steel walls of the Grainfather Conical Fermenter.
Your desired temperature is dialled into the digital temperature controller on the Conical Fermenter, the liquid then travels through this sleeve, cooling the stainless steel which in turn cools the beer in the fermenter. The cooling sleeve never comes into contact with the beer, is completely concealed and does not need cleaning or sanitising - a true innovation for a fermenter on this scale.
Note: The instructions for the Glycol Chiller will be attached to the outside of the shipping box. It is important that you retain these, do not throw them away and read them carefully before use to ensure no damage occurs to the unit. If these for any reason are not included with your purchase, we highly recommend you download a new copy via the instructions tab on this page and read them carefully.
Warranty: There is a FREE 3 Year warranty for the Grainfather Glycol Chiller.
