Grainfather GC2 Glycol Chiller

The Grainfather Glycol Chiller is a reliable and efficient way to control the temperature of your fermentation process. With the ability to control and power up to two fermenters at different temperatures and fermentation schedules, you can easily produce consistent beers every time.

COMPATIBILITY WITH GRAINFATHER S SERIES AND OTHER FERMENTERS

The Grainfather GC2 with Glycol & Cooling Connection is designed to work seamlessly with the GCA Glycol Chiller Adapter, allowing you to connect it to the Grainfather S SERIES range of fermenters or most other fermenters. Its sleek and compact design features an LED control display, making it easy to monitor and adjust temperature settings.

GRAINFATHER APP COMPATIBILITY

One of the main advantages of the GC2 is its compatibility with the Grainfather App. When connected to a Grainfather G SERIES fermenter or the GCA, you can manage your fermentation from anywhere via Wi-Fi. This makes it easy to monitor your brewing process and make adjustments as needed, even if you're not physically present.

PROPYLENE GLYCOL MIXTURE

The Grainfather Glycol Chiller uses a mixture of water and propylene glycol in a 2:1 ratio to maintain proper temperature control and prevent freezing or overheating. Propylene glycol is a food-grade antifreeze commonly used in the food and beverage industry to regulate temperatures. When mixed with water, it has a lower freezing point and higher boiling point than water alone, providing more stable temperature control. This means that even in cold temperatures, the coolant will not freeze, which can damage the chiller and the equipment it's connected to. Additionally, glycol has a higher boiling point than water, which allows the chiller to operate at higher temperatures without the coolant boiling off. This provides greater flexibility and stability in temperature control for your brewing.

PLUG-AND-PLAY SYSTEM

Compared to a DIY glycol chiller, the GC2 offers several benefits. For starters, it's a plug-and-play system, which means you don't need to spend time building and configuring your own chiller. This can save you a lot of time and effort, especially if you're new to homebrewing or don't have a lot of experience with DIY projects.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

When it comes to the minimum temperature for the Grainfather glycol chiller, it's important to note that it can reach temperatures as low as -4°C. This level of temperature control gives you the ability to ferment even lagers as well as cold crash your beer resulting in a clearer, more polished final product.

FEATURES

Allows you to cold crash 23 L of wort to as low as 4-6ºC. Minimum temperature will vary based on external factors such as ambient room temperature, the number of fermenters connected and other environmental conditions.
