The Penguin Chillers 1/3 HP Glycol Chiller delivers compact, reliable cooling for small breweries, home brewers, and lab/process setups. With 2,000 BTU/hr at 28°F and a 1.25-gallon insulated reservoir, it’s sized for maintaining fermentation temperatures, crash cooling small batches, and holding stable cold set points. Current estimated lead time: 3–5 business days.

Key Features
– Cooling Performance – 2,000 BTU/hr at 28°F for steady temperature control on smaller vessels.
– 1.25-Gallon Capacity – Insulated reservoir supports consistent glycol supply in tight spaces.
– Integrated Controller – Built-in digital control to set and maintain your glycol bath temperature.
– Quiet Operation – Runs at 56 dBA to minimize noise.

Capacity Guidance (Standard Line)
– Supports up to 4 fermenters; max size of any single non-jacketed fermenter: 15 gallons.
– If any tank is 1 BBL, use at least a 1/2 HP chiller.
– For jacketed tanks or larger systems, select an appropriately sized unit from the XL Glycol Chiller line.

Operating Notes
– Use for maintaining fermentation temps and crash cooling; not for directly cooling boiling wort.
– If assisting knockout, use a two-stage cooling approach.
– Keep return glycol below 100°F to protect components.

Recommended Glycol Mix
– Typical operation around 28°F using 35–40% glycol / 60–65% water.
– Easy mixes: 1 gal glycol + 1.5 gal water = 40%, or 1 gal glycol + 1.75 gal water = 36.3%.

Setup Options
– One Pump per Fermenter – Submersible pump in reservoir; each tank controlled individually.
– Glycol Loop – Continuous-duty external pump with solenoid valves and centralized controls.
