Description
Icemaster G20
The Icemaster G20 is an efficient glycol chiller that has fantastic cooling performance. It's compact, quiet and ideal for a domestic environment. It is powerful enough to chill well-insulated fermenters up to 300 Litre in size or multiple smaller fermenters. It has about 600-watt cooling power making it suitable for crash chilling even in hot ambient temperatures in your garage or brewery.
Integrated Pumps
This unit comes with 2 integrated pumps and temp controllers. This will allow you to independently cool two fermenters at the same time at different temperatures. Set the temp on the main reservoir to -4° C then (after you have added 30% glycol) then on the other side of the G20 set the other two temperatures to your ideal fermentation temperatures. No additional wiring necessary. Pumps included and already wired up ready to use.
Chill Wort
Cooling wort from 100° C to 50° C is quite easy with tap water most of the time. With that said cooling from 50°C to 18°C can take ages. This is because your tap water might be as hot as 35°C meaning it would be impossible no mater how much water you use to get down to 18°C (yeast pitching temperatures). The Icemaster G20 solves this problem and is the easy way to take advantage of sub-zero glycol to cool your fermenter to acceptable temperatures for the fermentation process (PLEASE NOTE: only use this unit to chill wort after you have already chilled down to <50°C with water, otherwise there is a risk of overloading the compressor).
This unit can be used in conjunction with all these chiller options
- a) Immersion Chiller
- b) Counter Flow Wort Chiller
- c) Plate Chiller
Cool Your Bright Tank Fermenter or Kegmenter
Australia is a hot country and in many instances, heating is not necessary but cooling is essential. Larger and well-insulated fermenters, in particular, will often generate enough heat to heat the fermenter which is why large commercial breweries often have no heating. They rely on the yeast activity to heat the fermentation tank. The G20 can be used to cool a range of different fermentation vessels.
Compressor NOT Thermoelectric
Although thermoelectric glycol units are significantly cheaper to make, to really get the power needed to chill wort quickly and efficiently you need compressor cooling. Compressors increase the cost of the manufacturing process however due to the fact they are between 3-6 times more electrically efficient for this application, the initial manufacturing cost will easily be recouped in electrical savings. In addition to this compressors are significantly more powerful and able to pump more heat even in hot ambient temperatures where thermoelectric units will struggle. If you want to retain the ability to crash chill fermenter you can't go past the cooling power of compressor cooling.
