I've been thinking about switching from my DIY window unit hacked glycol chiller, mainly after realizing that I am spending a fortune on glycol to fill the reservoir every year for maintenance, needing about 4 gal glycol to 8 gal water to fully submerge the A/C's coils. After looking at a few models, looks like their reservoirs are much smaller, requiring a lot less glycol. After 5 years, I could see myself saving hundreds even after the initial large purchase of the chiller.
Any opinions on DIY vs commercial this context? I was looking at this BrewBuilt one, seems like it's on the cheaper end, but I only have two 15g conicals I'd be chilling: BrewBuilt™ IceMaster Max 2 Glycol Chiller With Two Built In Temperature Controllers and Pumps | MoreBeer
Looking for any other recommendations! I don't need anything crazy, but quiet operating is a plus! |
