DIY Glycol Chiller Update [ Follow-up to viewers questions ]  

I’m glad you found these videos useful! Cheers!

Hey Greg, thanks for the feedback! The buses on the control side are just extensions of the neutral and hot leads to help clean up the wiring. They all use the same type of bus. I believe I only used one fuse in my final design to limit the power my panel can pull. The other three aren’t used. Cheers!

Hey djg1224, these are the jacks I used: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08SJM2G52?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I believed used 1 part glycol to 3 parts of distilled water. I’m not sure about a rust inhibitor. That might come down to the materials in the cooling coil. I decided to leave a little head room to avoid spillage. It would be interesting to run a test to see how much more efficient the system would be submerged and use a bigger glycol cooler. My system has worked pretty good with its current configuration. I don’t feel the need to add more glycol. I hope this helps:) cheers!

As for the glycol, check out my lasted video that goes over updates to the system. I listed the type of glycol I used in the description . I don’t remember the brand off hand.

@@justhomebrew awesome, thank you for the reply. I’m in the process of building one, and as you can see I have a bunch of questions I have been thinking about.

Good luck with the build! I’ve been happy with mine.

@@justhomebrew thank you!

It’s a mixture of glycol and water. I used a mixture of 2 gallons of water and 1 gallon of glycol.

Hey William, I used the sensors that came with the inkbird controller for my fermenters and the ac. They are pretty simple sensors, but work great with my system. Cheers!
