BrewBuilt IceMaster 100 Glycol Chiller with Stainless Bulkheads

The IceMaster 100 is designed to cool fermentations in small vessels. It can be used with any vessel that has a glycol jacket or submersed cooling coil/rod. For each vessel you want to cool you will need to purchase a submersible pump. Each tank is able to be separately temperature controlled. Each submersible pump cab be placed in the cool bath of this chiller along with a digital controller. The digital controller includes a thermal probe that should be inserted into a thermal well in your vessel or can be taped to the outside of the vessel if you don’t have a thermal well. The digital controller then measures the temperature of your tank and turns the submersible pump on or off to cool to your desired set temperature. Up to four tanks can be controlled separately with one IceMaster and four pumps.

Compatibility
The IceMaster can be used with any fermenter that has a built in cooling jacket, added Coolstix, or a submersed cooling coil. It works well as the cooling source for the following systems and fermenters.

• Coolstix – Coolstix can be added to a wide range of carboys, fermenters, and tanks and the IceMaster works really well in combination.
• Ss Brewtech Fermenters and Brites with FTSs – Because FTS systems include a pump and controller you will not need to buy a separate glycol pump kit.
• Spike Conical with Optional Cooling Package – Because the optional Spike cooling system includes a pump and controller you will not need to buy a separate glycol pump kit.
• Speidel Tanks with Optional Cooling Jackets – You will need one glycol pump kit for each tank.
• Grainfather Fermenters – Grainfather fermenters have standard cooling jackets. You will need one glycol pump kit for each fermenter
• Blichmann Fermenators with Optional Cooling Coil – You will need one glycol pump kit for each Fermenator.

Capacity
It is always difficult to determine exactly how many tanks can be chilled at one time as it depends on what is happening in each tank, if the tank is insulated, and what the ambient temperature is. Cold crashing always requires the most energy and requires tank insulation.  We have experimented with capacities and can provide this general guide based on a 75 degree ambient and neoprene insulation. Neoprene a modest amount of insulation so you would obtain better results using Armaflex or a higher R rated insulation.  If only controlling fermentation temps the capacity would be higher.

Cold Crashing capacity at 75F with neoprene insulation (double for fermentation temperature control):

2 – 1BBL (31 Gallon) Tank with neo
3 to 4 – 1/2BBL (15-20 Gallon) Tanks
4+ – 10-14 Gallon Tanks
4+ – 5-7 Gallon Tanks

Set Up
In order to hook up the IceMaster to your fermenter or tank’s cooling system, you will need 4 lengths of tubing. All tubing connections should be secured with hose clamps.

• Length 1: Submersible pump outlet to inner barb of 1st bulkhead
• Length 2: Outer barb of 1st bulkhead to cooling system inlet
• Length 3: Cooling system outlet to outer barb of 2nd bulkhead
• Length 4: Inner barb of 2nd bulkhead to IceMaster resevoir (should drain freely, no connection necessary)

Warning: Do not set the reservoir temperature controller lower than 28°F (-2ºC). Running the unit below this temperature may negatively affect the unit’s efficiency and has the potential to freeze beer which may impact the finished beer’s flavour.
